On Going group Zagreb Gestalt/5 Rhythms

Zagreb - 25 Mar 2018 to 14 Oct 2018
Thierry Francois

“There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.” Buddha

I am glad to introduce this new ongoing group. This one is called “Roads”. “Roads” is an exploration of the self in motion, opened to anyone that is willing to ride the path of presence, centering and body connected.

This is a committed group coming together to explore these two practices during five modules (4 one day workshops plus a weekend in the middle). Gestalt (psychotherapy) and 5 Rhythms practice are two life philosophies that understand each other very well. 5 Rhythms practice with its different energies or ways of being, invites us to experience our fluidity, our clarity, to loose ourselves in our dance, to get to know “the bearable lightness of being“ and to feel our inner calm. Gestalt therapy on the other hand gives us the opportunity to observe the process of what is going on in this moment without trying to explain it. Instead, we describe it and come to a way to adapt to it. This will be my sixth ongoing group and my intention is to create a safe space and to let each of you «hit» the road and practice your own being in motion.

Moving and unfolding the process of the experience of the here and now, of the how we investigate, search, we experience together as a group, as an individual in the group, as a whole. We embark on the same journey, some of us are in the middle of the road, some at the crossroads, some are on rocky or shaky roads, some are driving up the hill, some are taking the going uneasy down, but wherever is our orientation we give support to each other

Thierry about himself: “

I’m French and I live in Zagreb. I’ve been teaching the Five Rhythms practice for 6 years now. I discovered the practice in 2002 and it has changed significantly my view of movement and being on the move. I’ve met Gabrielle Roth first through her books and then on trainings in the US and France. I’m happy to have had the opportunity to be her disciple. Learning of 5Rhythms practice is the way that changes and moves, and what I especially love is the dimension of unity we achieve through body, heart, and spirit. I am married to Silvija Tomcik and the father of little Numa. I come from the theater, I’m a Certified Gestalt therapist and I have been developing for a number of years by dealing with the Male aspect, as one of the leaders of the Mankind project. I like to explore creativity through music and various artistic forms, and especially through everything that arises on the dance floor.

My approach is holistic. This means I view and acknowledge the whole of you, including your values and beliefs, age, shape, physical limitations, cultural heritage and past.

I don’t view you as a set of problems or issues to be fixed. I support you in building your sense of wholeness so that you may begin to accept all parts of yourself. I see all aspects of you as interconnected and a vital part of you."

FULLY BOOKED: "Heart Waves"

Komiza - 19 Aug 2018 to 25 Aug 2018
Silvija Tomcik - Thierry Francois

This workshop is fully booked with the waiting list.

HEART WAVES is a beautiful opportunity to search inside of our hearts and find the answers that we look for on the outside and with others. This is an invitation to dance the dance that only we can dance and to do that in company of others; all surrendering to the mystery of what it is to be alive right now.

We will go one day at a time, step by step following the 5Rhythms map. Morning sessions will be Heartbeat level classes with Silvija, and evening sessions will be Sweat Your Prayers with Thierry.

In Heartbeat we explore our emotions as energy, as power, as part of being human. We get comfortable with feelings, neither hanging onto them nor pushing them away. We dance towards our spontaneous heart, the heart that is ready for anything.

The intention of Sweat Your Prayers is to have relatively little formal instruction, relying on the individual to create and support one’s own and therefore one another’s dance. It is a time to practice the 5Rhythms Wave, and most importantly learn to follow one’s own inner world. Afternoons will be left to our imagination, to our co-creation with the amazing natural gifts of this amazing island, to the medicine of sun and sea. And, one evening we will have a beach party to dance the joy of being alive.

“In prayer it is better to have a heart without words
than words without a heart. ” John Bunyan
