Body As An Instrument

On May 27th-28th 2023

10.30am - 8pm

Lebensraum, Benkenstrasse 58, 4054 Basel - Switzerland

Body is our instrument which has endless buttons to press on and strings to pull in order to create different feelings, emotions and reactions. What is important is a state of presence when we want to play.

.

What do words like ‘presence’ and ‘play’ mean to you?


The essence of these two words can be seen in all children but unfortunately not in every adult anymore. We as adults in our society are not encouraged to play. So unfortunate!

What can playing teach us about ourselves? How does an interaction change when we approach it with an awareness of presence and playfulness?

You are invited for a two day workshop to explore Presence and Play within a frame of creative games, meditation, breath, tantra and bdsm, and movement. Theoretical and practical positions of being leader and follower will be introduced. Through external physical stimuli we will heighten our emotional awareness. We will have a look at how manipulating the body can change the state of body and mind.

While:

- Working with breathing, sound, movement and intentions

- Addressing dominant and submissive parts of ourselves

- Increasing the sense of presence in our mind and body through impact games

- Using safe distinction of the roles: Giving, Receiving, Taking and Allowing

This workshop is a safer space, guided, and based on consent and honouring your boundaries. You can withdraw from exercises whenever you wish.

The weekend is concluded with a Play Party which we all co-create together. It is a semi structured platform in which you are invited to practice newly acquired skills, also improvise and exchange with others.

Who is it for? - for everyone who is curious, interested in reflective kinky practices and self developmental work.

Moreover, my needs lay in having my energy and work I put into organising and facilitating my events valued, along my needs for sustainability acknowledged.
