Workshops
1. TANTRA & CONTACT IMPROVISATION
Tantra & Contact Improvisation is a physical, spiritual and psychic experience of being one with the universe.
Contact Improvisation is a dance in which two (or more) people find a dance together in listening to each other and touching each other. The dance is created in the moment. One communicates with the other physically and energetically. Physical weight is exchanged. Forget your concept of self and what you are: Trust the moment and your body. Each encounter changes you, makes you anew.
In CI you experience to trust yourself and others. You are carried by the floor, you are carried by others.
THE PHYSICAL EXPERIENCE OF BEING CARRIED AND HELD PROVIDES YOUR SURRENDERING. THIS EXPERIENCE REINFORCES YOUR BASIC TRUST AND MIGHT BE DEEPLY HEALING.
YOU EXPERIENCE YOURSELF IN YOUR STRENGTH AND ENERGY AND IN BEING CONNECTED WITH THE EARTH, THE UNIVERSE, THE OTHERS.
You experience to fly, to be in the moment and to be curious. We get aware of the energies and qualities of our chakras (centres of energy in the body), we feel, how we influence each other energetically.
YOU EXPERIENCE THAT THERE IS NOTHING TO DO FOR BEING LOVED, BUT THAT YOU ARE LOVED, JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE.
2. TANDAVA - MYSTIC DANCE
This slow dance meditation (Kashmiri tantra tradition) provides the experience of endless tenderness and love. I learned it from my teacher Daniel Odier. You breath into the belly and let the dance arise, supported by the breath. You let yourself get surprised by the dance. There are no repetitions, each moment of the dance is unique and new. You touch the space like a lover and the space is touching you. It might occur that the space/the universe/your lover and you become one. You get aware of the other souls in the endless space and find a dance with one of them in listening to each other and being open to the miracle of enjoying the moment fully.
3. CHAKRA PUJA: QUALITIES OF TOUCH AND HONOURING OF THE DIVINE
This is a tantric ritual celebrated in a circle. The shivas will honour the divine goddess in each woman. The shaktis will honour the divine god in each man. As a shakti you will experience authentic encounters, energy exchange and qualities of touch with different shivas. As a shiva you will experience authentic encounters, energy exchange and qualities of touch with different shaktis.
