Energy and Grace
is the newest edition of one of my signature retreat/workshop programs that was first launched 15 years ago under the German title "Energie und Weite"
3.5 days of somatic stretching, embodied mobility, developmental movement, intertwined with simple yet powerful body centered meditation techniques and awareness training.
It truly is a marvel for everyone who...
wants to get in touch with their body on a deeper level
increase their level of pleasure in movement, flow and posture
wants to explore a sense of being truly themselves way beyond anything they have experienced before in their body
wants to refine their level of awareness for themselves and reap the benefits of this heightened state of being in their regular life
wants to increase their level of energy and vibrancy in life
This massively refined, upgraded version still includes some of the old and tested methods but goes much deeper into them and on top of that adds some new elements that allow for even more expansion and growth in the body, our nervous system, our minds and last but not least ones consciousness.
What we will do in a nutshell:
on February 19th we will meet, or if you arrive by plane you will be collected by me, and then we meet close to Graz in a beautiful area with lots of natural springs and old powerplaces that were used for thousands of years to enhance, balance and heal body mind and spirit.
In the evening of this day we will make our way to Glögglhof in Trofaiach which is a small castle of a former arch duke that has been completely renovated and serves us as a stylish workshop location with comfortable amenities for the next 3 days.
From the 20th to the 22nd we will explore play and learn for about 6 hours per day depending on weather either in the comfortable space of the sate of the art seminar room or the park surrounding the main building full of old trees and hidden gems to enjoy nature.
in the three main days we will be focusing on the following:
> SOMATIC STRETCHING (a specific way of stretching that uses the mind in such a way that a deeper connection to the body happens naturally, eventually releasing instead of straining the mind and resetting the nervous systems charge to a new neutral. This nervous system recallibration helps us to reach a new more relaxed, stable and grounded baseline that serves us in life.)
> DEVELOPMENTAL MOVEMENT and EMBRYOLOGICAL MOVEMENT MIMICING (developmental movements are the foundation of learning movements in the life of us all. It's the movements that a baby develops on its own without ever having been shown by an adult that serve as the foundation structurally as well as neurologically to then copy more intricate patterns like walking etc later on in childhood. Reengaging with those patterns can help us to completely reset back to our true essence beyond any and all copies we've made later from parents or social peers. Understanding embryological base patterns of structural and motion development helps us to understand our original function. Combining those two methods has the potential to reset ones movement patterns, heal structural issues that stem from our social surroundings and create a physically perceivable foundation of ones unique essence in this body.)
> MOVEMENT HYGIENE (a basic set of exercises that can be used separately or in bulk to increase flow and dynamics in the body and reset muscular tension so that a more effortless posture and movement pattern can naturally unfold. These exercises both increase energy levels and improve intramuscular coordination. Given that we have a little bit more time in these three days we will play with some iterations that can vastly enhance understanding of the function of our body and how to engage with it to fully benefit from its natural design.)
> AWARENESS and CONSCIOUSNESS TRAINING (small exercises that help build perception in the physical and beyond to the next level as well as dedicated meditation moments to play with the experiences gained in all the other exercises.
> RESONANCE and NATURES SUPPORT (how does water from a natural spring affect us and why, how can we identify spots that serve us and how to best interact deliberately and consciously in the spirit of co-existing.
What effects you can expect:
> increase in energy levels
> increase in positive mood and relaxation/ calmness
> improved mobility
> more flow (cardio vascular, lymphatic, visceral, energetic)
> reduced pressure both in the cardio vascular system but most notably also the structure like joints, organs, muscles etc.
> more clarity and focus
> better sleep
> more agility
> and much more
Who is this for concretely?
> the interested beginner who want's to learn about their body
> the aching stressed out hard worker who needs a break and time to reset themselves
> the Qigong-, Taiji-, Yoga- or somatic practitioner who wants to take the practice to the next level
> the motivated enthusiast interested in unlocking their own potential and drastically expanding their abilities in terms of clarity and energy levels
> the fitness and or sports enthusiast who seeks ways to balance their body and improve mechanics
> the trainer, therapist or coach of movement, Yoga, burnout, meditation, posture etc... who is eager to expand their breadth of knowledge and tools to service themselves to increase balance and their clients better
