Movement from Sensing — Return to the Body. Meditation in Dance, Somatic Practices. Pre-cycle (starts: 24.02)

"Safety is not the absence of threat. It is the presence of connection" - Gabor Mate

(Bezpieczeństwo to nie brak zagrożenia. To obecność połączenia).

Dance as a path to oneself, as a conversation with another person. A return home — to your body.

I invite you to a practice that awakens, nourishes and soothes. A practice that allows meeting yourself and another person with mindfulness, flow, feeling and joy.

To movement and dance that help regulate the nervous system, shed unnecessary tension, restore free energy flow in the body and "recover sensing." To practices that connect, allow strengthening and regaining a sense of belonging and trust — in yourself, your body, another person and the world.

I invite you to 2 open workshops "Movement from Sensing" — 2 x 2 hours of somatic practices and guided meditation in dance. These can be trial classes if you are seeking a regular practice of getting comfortable with free movement, want to dance more freely, return to the body and the sense of connection.

📅
This 12-session cycle starts on February 24.

I can also invite you to join the cycle in a steady group — after 7 years of leading regular classes I consider a cycle in a permanent group the most valuable and deepest form of practice.

I also invite you to residential workshops — practice in the mountains, in a beautiful hall, on meadows and in the forest; information will appear in the event.

METHOD

We will use original practices of conscious movement, getting comfortable with free dance and working with the body, developed during regular weekly classes since 2019. Sources: Body Mind Centering, Anna Halprin's Life/art process practices, contact improvisation, movement meditation, process-oriented psychology, butoh, improvisation, Thai massage, authentic movement, voice work and others.

MORE ABOUT THE PRACTICE

We will lead attention through successive layers and structures of the organism, using work with experiential anatomy as a path to awakening movement in accordance with the nature of the body. Through self-massage and gentle touch we will learn how to trust our hands, give and receive contact while caring for boundaries.

The practice includes partner exercises (bodywork), work in silence and with music and a closing sharing circle.

WHO IS IT FOR?

• If you feel your body needs attention and no known movement practice has yet hit the core;
• If you want to better know yourself and your relationship with your body;
• If you wish to spend time in an atmosphere of acceptance, freedom and mindfulness;
• If something in you wants to dance while something else prevents you from moving (good fitness or experience not required);
• If you dance and want to expand your possibilities, or if you never did but feel drawn that way.
