Sense Your Way

PLEASE CHECK THE FULL INFOPAGE: SENSE YOUR WAY

Sense Your Way will focus on the exploration of the sensitivity of the body. We will open a space with the intention of letting the movement emerge, hatch and flourish, develop the creative potential present in each of us and experience full presence, with all the Living that composes and surrounds us. 

​ We would like to invite you to be connected to the sensitive world through the body and the voice, bases of our unique and singular expression. By listening to our wild intuition, our little voice that guides our steps, you will have the opportunity to express yourself with artistic tools in non verbal communication and find directions you want to embody in your personal and work life.

We will employ various techniques, such as Contact Improvisation, Authentic Movement, Somatics practices  (with Body-Mind-Centuring) and Voices practices to enhance your awareness of bodily sensations, emotions, and thoughts.

The training course welcomes individuals of all ages and experience levels. However, participants should be open and interested in exploring this approach. If you are uncomfortable with touch or movement, this course may not be suitable for you

Contact Improvisation is a dance form that focuses on physical connection and improvisation. It is a non-competitive, non-goal-oriented practice that allows you to explore the relationship between your body and your partner's, guided by gravity, in a safe and supportive environment.

Authentic Movement  offers a bridge between the conscious and the unconscious. It explores the relationship between a mover and a witness, being seen and seeing. With eyes closed, the mover listens inwardly and finds a movement arising from a hidden prompting, a cellular impulse. Gradually the invisible becomes visible, the inaudible becomes audible, and explicit form is given to the content of direct experience

Who is this training for ? 

The training is designed for social workers, volunteers, leaders, teachers, and coaches. It aims to transmit skills for a strong connection between individuals, their bodies, and their environment to implement into our daily work as well as our personal lives and to the greater world
