Spirit of Place 🜄 WATER
Together with Humanhood-trained dancer and fluid movement practitioner Lucy Marlen Nicholas, venture out onto mountain grounds to uncover and explore the waters within. Slowly dissolve your Self and follow the course of your inner waters. Allow your fluid body to come into relationship with outer bodies of water and open to the teachings that this element holds for you. Embody the water ways and move through life from a place of resonance, adaptability, and balance. In English language.

With this workshop, we enter into a dialogue with the waters within, but also around us, and reshape how we move, feel and live. Through movement, inquiry and direct experience in nature, we will explore the waterways of the body, the emotional tides and the subtle currents that guide our inner life. Together, we’ll ask: How do I listen to my own waters? How do I enter into dialogue with water as a living presence? What changes when I move with it instead of against it? By the end of these three days, you will have acquired: - a deeper felt sense of your own inner flow
- practical tools to work with water through movement and awareness in your daily life
- an embodied understanding of relationship rather than control
- and a renewed trust in the capacity to navigate change, emotion and rhythm.
