Workshops | Given

  • Feel your roots

    A group/individual therapy practice focusing on healing through body

    Sometimes it may be necessary to feel the ground first to fly.

    Maybe intergenerational transmission can be our strength if we are aware of it.

    Maybe this is our gift.

    When we take a time to stop and feel the land,

    where we all are one.

    We are eventually able to leave the past behind, and to move beyond.

  • Towards your own creativity

    Mindfulness based Movement, Breath, Meditation Training

    This training is designed for a journey towards ourselves.

    By connecting with our body, we can learn ourselves through body and art.

    It is an area opened up to explore together our creative power, perhaps our dormant talents, the shadows we fear to look at, and the power behind them.

  • Dance with yourself

    It is a practice of nourishing and sharpening your senses and learning to move from within. It involves getting in touch with your body, listening inwardly and daring to move the way you are guided to move.

  • About touch

    This practice focuses on how the body perceives and makes decisions about moving, touching and feeling.And works on proprioception. That's why we explore our senses and our perception.

  • Funtimacy

    A playground. Reminding the joy of life,

    It opens space for some awareness that must be seen on that path to joy.

    That you touch your body first and then align with yourself.

    That you first feel the rhythm of the body and then connect to the rhythm of your heart.

    A place where you volunteer to be present in every breath, every beat in the flow of your blood.

    There is healing in contact.
