New Year's retreat - "Endings & New Beginnings"

DESCRIPTION

The days at the reatreat are a sensuous invitation to make a stop and give yourself time and space to unfold your dance - and through movement immerse yourself in the transition to the new year. Transitions are used thematically, as our storyline; 𝑬𝒏𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒔 & 𝑵𝒆𝒘 𝑩𝒆𝒈𝒊𝒏𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈In connection with our body, we unfold the 5 Rhythms - 𝒇𝒍𝒐𝒘, 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒄𝒄𝒂𝒕𝒐, 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒐𝒔, 𝒍𝒚𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒍 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔 - and the principles the rhythms carry with them: 𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒆𝒊𝒗𝒆, 𝒆𝒙𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔, 𝒍𝒆𝒕 𝒈𝒐, 𝒍𝒆𝒕 𝒈𝒐 𝒐𝒇 𝒍𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒈𝒐 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒍𝒆𝒕 𝒊𝒕 𝒃𝒆.

We let our body and mind explore both inner and outer spaces, to become aware of; 𝑾𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒅𝒐 𝑰 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 …..𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒂𝒎 𝑰 𝒈𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒈?

Our movement in the dance space is our daily ritual and a way to "tune" body and mind. The form of the ritual invites you to step in with a heightened awareness. A return to the same space. A form and method, as a point of reference, which creates stability and a freedom to transcend old patterns and bring us deeper into the dance – and home to ourselves.

Not for the sake of the ritual, but to set life in motion - not only the life that is, or lies in front of us, but also what has been lived. In the repeated dance we connect to the present. Leaning into the stillness that the now brings with it, and from there we expand our way of being in life. The stillness tells us that life hold us - regardless of our own "weather forecast"🙂

Although the dance is the main element, the retreat is structed on an interweaving of different contexts. We search for spaces that call for presence and commitment - whether it’s in dance, in nature, song, artistic expression, work, silence - and weave them together so that our dance comes to life in other contexts and other contexts give life to the dance.

We can transform something with our dance, with words, with song/sound and with other forms of expression. And create access to new spaces within us and more space.

No retreats are alike. There is a transition where a "new narrative" is created. Where new life and commitment must fill the spaces - inner as well as outer.

The community is very central in those days. We are not just there to find the power in own space. The retreat finds special inspiration in how to create the good community, where everyone contributes actively, regardless of whether it's in your dance or your daily task.
