When do you open and close your heart?
Can you open your heart to the other when there is fear and anger?
Can you open your heart in the midst of conflict and hear the other’s needs and desires?
Every day, we have opportunities to open up shut down. How much can you open and let your feelings flow without over thinking, acting them out or favouring and fantasising about them?
We will use the 5Rhythms® to sink deeper into our bodies and hearts on the beautiful, rejuvenating island of Ikaria. We will spend the first three days grounding ourselves in the body and the Waves level. We will use the body parts as gateways into each of the 5Rhythms and invite awareness of our sensations, temperature, weight and pulsing of our bodies. Centering ourselves instead of floating away in our fantasies or being devoured by our thoughts.
n this workshop we will work with change. I choose this theme. I’m not even close to pretending I know how to answer the basic questions about CHANGE.
Can we truly change? – “I’m not sure”
Can we stay the same? – “No, we cannot, but sometimes we do.”
Can we choose to change or does life forces us to change? “Ahhhmmm, I’m not sure.”
What does change mean to each of us? How much we avoid it? or welcome it?
Change brings many questions, we can try to answer some of them on the dance floor, listening to our longings and dreams, following our feet, noticing our resistance, watching what happens to our breath, checking deep inside to notice what scares us and when can we choose a new way.
What I do know, is that Change usually means breaking a pattern, a habit, dropping some beliefs or an approach, forgetting about a concept or assumption we have about how things are or should be.
All of those are belong to the mind, rooted well in the body, with time. Often, even though we deeply wish for the change, it’s not as easy as it seems. So many times, we have tried to fight the mind, with full determination. But the mind is a clever fighter, and it fights back in cunning ways.
In this workshop we will take the time to embody the wish, releasing the chains and roots of the past choices, we will find ways to elude the flight, keep our energy and expand it so we can surface fresh and passionate about who we want to BECOME.
