UPCOMING RETREATS
Spring Retreat
May 9 - 12 2024
YOGA / BREATHWORK / HIKING / SHIATSU
ALL LEVELS WELCOME
In the spirit of spring, which makes everything sprout and grow, we will focus on the wood element and the associated life energy Qi.
In traditional Chinese medicine, Qi is regarded as the life force that flows through every human being.
Our Qi is activated and strengthened with daily Vinyasa Yoga as well as meridian and breath work, while the calmer Yin sequences in the afternoon have a nourishing and soothing effect on the energy balance.

BREATHWORK / SOMATIC MOVEMENT/ NATURE
In the spirit of summer, we connect with the abundance of nature, with our senses and our innate creative energy. Through breathwork, somatic movement and practices of contemplation, we delve into a state of presence and inquiry.
What moves the body? What lets us become quiet and present? What heals us?
On leisurely walks through shady chestnut, beech and birch woods, we discover unique energy spots, where we practice listening with all our senses. Rooted in our breath and the sensory body, we feel inward and outward to move with and be moved by the natural elements.
Emphasising the interconnection between humans and nature as energy, our practice is inspired by the initial purpose of dance—bringing communities together and establishing a connection with nature.
What's included:
• 3 x morning practice - breathwork & intuitive movement
• All Sensory Body Landscape practices
3 x Conscious Connected Breathwork
• 3 x breakfast, lunch and dinner - vegetarian and vegan options (meals prepared communally)
• use of yoga mats and equipment (meditation cushions, blankets etc.)

Continuum Workshop
September 16-17 2017
When we dive back into the ocean, we encounter a world of incredible depth and silence. At the same time, everything moves and flows in a perfect, primordial order and in its own very specific rhythm. In Continuum we use special breaths and sounds to tune into these harmonious and regenerating wave motions and pulsations. The body connects again with its original internal rhythm.
The deceleration, depth and silence can be experienced directly.
CHF 270.– (normal)

DELVING INTO THE EROTICS OF DANCE
A WORKSHOP WITH MATTHEW ROGERS AND CHRIS LEUENBERGER
In this workshop we share tools and strategies for generating dance forms from an experience of pleasure and vitality. We follow our curiosity and explore what engages our desire to move. We use touch and create sound together. We exercise full body pleasure while dancing. In group, duet and solo form, we uncover qualities of movement that support the visibility and power of our own erotic nature. With some reflection you may redefine your understanding of erotics in dance.
