Since 2001 the own teachers community has been growing and at the moment there are 16 teachers active in both French and Flemisch communities and their activities are complemented by another 10 international guest teachers who visit us regularly. Still open to a broad input from international teachers worldwide, many dancers from all over Europe and beyound have come along and added a special flavour, feeling at home in this community. What is has to offer : humbleness, grounded, friendly & heartful and diversity. Wherever you live in Belgium, whether you speak Dutch, French or English, within a one hour drive you can attend several classes around the week, and workshops of all levels, around the year.
Exploring the Dynamics of Me, You, and Us
“The most important things in life are the connections you make with others”
— Tom Ford
Safety doesn’t mean the absence of threat. As human beings we feel safe in the presence of connection. Human beings are inherently social creatures, and our need for connection is deeply rooted in our biology, psychology, and evolution. Connection fulfils our basic needs for support, belonging, and understanding, and it plays a vital role in our overall quality of life. Building and maintaining meaningful connections with others is a key aspect of human existence
In this trilogy we will work with the heartbeat map of the 5Rhythms to dive into the dynamics of connections. Through the medicine of our embodied dance, you’ll discover a powerful pathway to heal the fractures in your relationships, reconnect with your body’s wisdom, and ignite a deeper sense of personal and interpersonal harmony. As we dive into the mystery of motion we foster qualities like forgiveness, compassion and healing. Dancing to practice to release emotional blockages, unravel tension, and embrace a renewed sense of wholeness.
In this workshop we move / dance with how essential/ basic sadness or the pure energetic of sadness can gently help us to move on and Release what is ready to be let go of and take our time to get ready to take steps in the space which is opened up and to see with new eyes the gifts which remain. The release of sadness can have a delicateness and exquisiteness and also a tender warmth, and a humble trusting of how this is ready to happen in this moment. Once we’ve experienced some of the letting go of the pure sadness energetic and felt the message that this is allowed, this is possible, then we can quite often find trust unfolding in us overall about the letting go, the trust that is in the intelligence of all the cells of our body, soaking through. Giving time and space to this, whilst again and a again dancing through the 5Rhythms®, can lead to more trust and more soft openness. We start to see what we’re holding onto and what we’re letting go of and this has a feeling of a kind of real, steady rightness. I’m really ready to hold us during this journey, for us to take the steps, just to the degree and timing for each one of us, and look forward to welcoming you.
In this open series of workshops "My Life and My Heart", we explore in movement, alternately the Waves map rhythms: Attention (Flowing), Clarity (Staccato), Adventure (Chaos), Freedom (Lyrical), and Connection (Stillness), and the Heartbeat map emotions: Awake (Fear), Upright (Anger), Release (Sadness), Relief (Joy), and Embracing (Compassion). In each workshop we go deeper with one rhythm or emotion, whilst also moving through full waves. Nancy will teach the Heartbeat workshops, Edo the Waves workshops.
This workshop counts for 1 days; 6 hours of Heartbeat towards Teacher Training pre-requisites. If you participate in all 5 Heartbeat workshops, they count as a 5-day Heartbeat committed group series.
