Workshop Description

Being moved: The art of celebration
In this workshop we invite the states of "Being Moved" and discover how they support our creative/artistic process and our human development. Being moved means moving, and expressing yourself through a state of flow. Everybody knows those moments when the mind becomes the dictator and challenges us with judgement and overthinking from free flowing, improvising, spontaneity and trusting our intuition. What we offer is the practice of surrendering to the intelligence and wisdom of the body-mind alignment and its co-creation potential, in order to find ways into our full creative and emotional expression, self-empowerment, with clear boundaries, flow and consciousness. Additionally there will be insights in rituals, dances and the choreographic approach of SunBengSitting.
