Dancing with the Dark - Weekendworkshop - WACHTLIJST - EmbodiedDance met Monika Körschner

Reconnect with your true nature beyond the light. Recognize again that which has been oppressed.
Remember what really matters.
Revitalize on a deeper level.
Rediscover the light.

This dance weekend takes place in the darkest time of the year and invites you to surrender to the endless flow of dancing and to welcome the darkness. It is one of the most powerful and direct routes to get in touch with your essential nature. The darkness helps to break through our daily distractions, let go of outer forms and move more towards inner experience. Dancing and darkness relax our body, mind and nervous system through effort and surrender. Both shed light on our consciousness. Both allow us to participate fully in the flow of life.

Darkness as a silent, nourishing place
Darkness is something onto which we often project our general fear, our shadows and fear of the unknown. But darkness is actually a naturally unconditionally welcoming, tender, nourishing and supportive place. By allowing the darkness to surround you, visual distractions disappear and your attention turns inward. It makes you feel more sensitive in and with yourself. It invites you to face yourself, expand your inner perception and welcome the mystery of the still invisible and unknown.

Carried by
* the dynamic energetic lively conscious dance
* additional simple exercises related to the power of darkness and light
* short but profound rituals that help you integrating and connecting experiences with life, the world and 'daily' life
* the richness of being together in a permanent group
a safe creative loving environment is created to undertake this in-depth research with compassion and curiosity.

THIS IS NOT A DARK 'RETREAT' nor is it about leading/following each other blindfolded. We dance and 'work' with darkness and light as a theme, with twilight, and with the darkness created by blindfolds and mindfolds. We therefore ask you to bring a blindfold and purchase a mindfold in advance. A mindfold gives you the opportunity to look into the darkness with open eyes.
You remain the director of your own dance journey at all times. Nothing 'must', everything is an invitation. You decide how far, how deep, how fast you want to go.

DANCE EXPERIENCE
Some experience with conscious dance forms such as OpenFloor, 5Rhythms, MovementMedicine, Biodanza, Ecstatic Dance, etc. is advisable. Or similar body work. If in doubt, please contact teacher Monika via [email protected] or via 06-12602244.

OPEN FLOOR & 5RHYTHMS are dynamic dance meditations that are practiced worldwide. In this workout for body, heart and mind, there are no steps to learn and every dance is welcome. During the dance sessions, the teacher and her assistants mix a variety of inviting music with clear, focused guidance to inspire and deepen your dancing. To explore with compassion in a lively, sometimes silent, dance what moves you inside and out. To connect with yourself, others, life, the world. To move towards a more fluid, creative way of being, to let your energy flow, to embody your life and to dance fully in all its facets.

MONIKA KÖRSCHNER is an accredited 5Rhythms® and OpenFloor teacher and teaches more than 20 years of teaching dance and movement as a consciousness exercise.
