Our body and psyche are always true, they never cheat us. We learn to listen to them, to find our inner truth. Forget your concept of self and what you are: Trust the moment and your body.
In this workshop we create energy in our bodies on our own as well as by influencing each other. We can create energy by breathing, by shaking and rocking, by vibration and through touch. Each dance, each encounter informs our bodies, changes us energetically. Each dance makes us/our identity anew. Through aware breathing we support our dance.
If we are able to sense each other also without physical touch, we create a high awareness and are able to listen to each other profoundly. What and whom do you attract in dancing CI and why? We get aware of the energies and qualities of our chakras (centres of energy in the body).
We learn how to deal in an aware way with our sexual energy in the body and direct it with tantric breathing techniques in the body. Sexual energy nourishes our dance!
In CI you experience to trust yourself and others. You are carried by the floor, you are carried by others. You experience to trust your own body, especially, when you fall.
The physical experience of being carried and held provides your devotion. This experience reinforces your basic trust and might be deeply healing.
You experience yourself in your strength and energy and in being connected with the earth, the universe, the others.
You experience to fly, to be in the moment and to be curious. Tantra & Contact Improvisation is a physical, spiritual and psychic experience of being one with the universe.
You experience that there is nothing to do for being loved, but that you are loved, just because you are.
You learn Kashmiri tantric massage
(as taught by Daniel Odier). Direct out of the massage you will find
into a dance.
Kashmiri massage is based on relaxed belly breathing.
The massage lets you arrive
inside yourself, arrive in your inner peace. You can experience deep
comfort, feeling of security and oneness in the massage. It can be very healing.
It is very close and sensual. By embracing and enveloping each we experience absolute love and endless tenderness, if we free ourselves from inner limitations! There is only the moment in being
touched by the endless space and permeated by love.
Tandava, a slow dance meditation, based on breathing already provides the experience
of touching the space and getting touched by the space.
With his sounds Günter
Touschek creates magical spaces, in which we meet each other. With his
live music he is in a dialogue with the participants/dancers and the
participants/dancers with him.
These sounds are supporting us to expand into the space and experience
our actual dimension, which is divine.
We feel spanda in us.
Spanda - meaningful in Kashmiri tantrism - is vibration, consciousness,
cosmic vibration.
We practise dance and touch as meditation, which facilitates transpersonal
and spiritual experiences.
The base of meeting, encoutering is: To sense yourself, to sense your
physical body and the subtle emotions and energies inside, to be aware
of your personal boundaries, limits and taboos. In each moment you decide
whether you respect them in a loving way or experiment with them or
transcend them.
For being fully in a dance, a meeting, you have to be sure that
your limits are respected by the other(s). The workshop situation itself
provides a safe space. Only if we are able to say no to what we don’t want right now, we have a clear yes to what we want. We learn to be able to articulate a no and get out of a dance, that is not appropriate for us right now.
None of the heteronormativity of classical
Tantra!
You are welcome alone or together with your partner/s.
The workshop will be held in German and English.
