Bodies have their own language. They tell a story, and constantly seek to feel as alive and fluid as possible. Uncovering this fluidity gives us the potential to enrich our senses and imagination, to experience lightness and power, and to raise our self-awareness and the capacity for self-healing. How can we reconnect to the body’s language and fluidity?

We will take a journey through movement, dance, connecting and feeling, to explore the intricacies of our stories. Connecting conscious and unconscious movement, we will uncover delicate, pleasurable and powerful movements, without self-judgment. We will open doors to new places, awakening physical sensations, which can also work on an emotional level.

Fluentbody helps people to be generous to their body and mind, to develop a sense of what they want and don’t want, and to gain more of their own strengths and possibilities.

This evocative journey will be based around the core concept of improvisation, getting in touch with yourself through your breath, movement and opening up your voice.

Joris will lead you through your senses, utilising softness and playfulness to reveal your inner movements to yourself – to dance yourself out, from the inside. This interaction with your own being in this space and time creates the conditions for enhanced connection, sharing and interaction with others. Falling into dance, falling into the moment, meeting the self, meeting others…

To start our last day and to open our bodies to the dance, Joris will guide us gently into the magic of touch through massage.

From the group towards individuals and partnering, we will activate the skin, the tissues and the skeleton to be best prepared for the day. This massage journey is an unfolding and soft trance through acceptance and trust.

Joris Camelin is a dancer, performer and improviser from France, now based in Berlin. He has collaborated with leading choreographers such as Meg Stuart, Laurent Chetouane, Constanza Macras and Mark Tompkins.

He is currently offering workshops and coaching sessions at academies, festivals and other locations around Europe, working with people from many different fields such as dancers, actors, musicians, architects and visual artists.

Soul Motion is improvised movement meditation, in presence and mindfulness, between stillness and ecstasy.

Body-Mind Centering® was developed from Bonnie Bainbridge-Cohen since more than 50 years. It is an invitation to experience the sensing and feeling body through movement, visualization and integration of anatomical informations. We will explore how the body supports the experience of interconnectedness through the exploration of fascia, the connective tissues of the body connecting each part with the whole, preventing inner spaces and global support, and allowing adaptation and new organization.

Odile Seitz-Walser is born in Paris and is living in Berlin since 2000. She is dancer, dance teacher, Body-Mind Centering Practitioner and Teacher, healing practitioner for Craniosacral Therapy. With her long experience as a dancer, she combines the fine explorations of the body from Body-Mind Centering with the creativity of dance improvisation. The feeling and living body, the soma, is the field in which she combines her fascination for the human being, human relationships, and movement.

Born in Morelia, Mexico, Karina is a Mexican-German person who works in the fields of contemporary dance, performance and yoga. Consciousness through movement is the way she likes to describe her work since the body-mind approach in which she works includes principles of somatic methods, mindfulness and improvisation. Karina completed her education as a contemporary dancer at the University of Michoacan, Mexico and later on, her master’s degree in choreography at the Hochschulübergreifendes Zentrum Tanz, Berlin (Udk) as well as her Yoga Studies with Dr. Wiebke Mohme in Yoga Cure in Berlin.

“Dancing can guide you to a physical and emotional body-mind presence that has the power to connect with the world in various dimensions and make social consciousness perceptible.”
 
Organic Dance is a practice that works with dance improvisation, yoga, breathing techniques and principles of somatic work to organize and integrate body, mind and the awareness of inner and outer perception. It achieves freedom and consciousness through movement. The methodology to achieve this is to bridge somatic principles (from Body Mind Centering®, Alexander Technique and Klein Technique) with Asana, Pranayama and the practice of improvisation generating a kinesthetic consciousness, finding your own creative movement, your own dance.

Bars, parties and Festivals followed. As the founder of The Orgasm Workshop, he used music extensively and connected it with people's motions and emotions. During that time, he discovered his love for Ecstatic Dance. Travelling the world brings more and more influences into his eclectic style.

Our body is our temple. In this emotional collective ritual we will enter our inner temple to purify it, express our deep gratitude and integrate all the wonderful work of the day. Each dancer will create their own sacred space using certain elements such as Aura-Soma and crystals, and then will be caressed by a Sound Bath where the sonorities of the gongs will entangle with Native American, Japanese and Greek instruments.

Sound Healing is the therapeutic application of sound frequencies to a person or a group with the intention of bringing them into a state of harmony and health by balancing the physical, mental and emotional aspect of their being. As an ancient traditional healing technique, the broad and rich frequency of Tibetan Bowls balances the energy centers of the body by soothing our nervous system and creating deep tranquillity. When the active mind relaxes into the alpha and theta brainwaves, the entrapped energy and emotions are set free. Tibetan Singing Bowls slow down our heart and respiratory rate and bring therapeutic and healing effects on all levels, including balancing between Yin -the intuitive and feeling energy, and Yang -the planning and active energy in our bodies. They help to transform our field and resonate to higher frequency, using the law of resonance, and by matching our vibrational signature to the fundamental tone of the universe, the creative power of All-That-Is.

„Oh no, I can’t sing.“ or „Sorry, I don’t play any instruments“ is in some cases what people may think when they're invited to a Jam Session. But the aim of the 'Free Spirit Jam Session' is to encourage you not to judge: It’s not about singing "well" or playing "right", but to join us being curious and enjoy all the miraculous sounds we can create together in a group.

Together we explore for example: How is the sound of an autumn walk through the forest? How is the sound in a really warm and cozy place? How is the sound of confusion and chaos? How is the sound of the most peaceful place you can imagine? …to possibly uncover some sounds of our inner world ♥

Listen. Perceive. Express. With her initiatives, Anna-Maria opens the space for encounters at eye level. When hosting „Eye Contact“ events and „Jam Sessions“ what she loves most are the moments when shame leaves the room and instead there is enough space for people to honestly connect with each other and to reconnect with themselves.
