Trainings and workshops address four main topics:

 

Out of your mind, into the body

Through exercises that are physically demanding and/or mentally confusing we quiet the mind with its trains of thoughts, its opinions, judgments and restrictions, and evoke the intuitive language of the body. This part of the training consists of fun meditations, physical training, exercises in pairs and an exploration of our senses.

 

Exploring non-sense

We explore non-sense by means of different assessments and exercises that invite us to see reality differently than we are used to in our daily life. By taking things out of its context, practicing daily routines in a complete different way and performing activities and using images that might seem contradictive and impossible at first, we mess up our minds and conventional conception of reality.

 

Outside the skin

We might not always be aware of how our environment influences our body and vice versa. The exercises in this part of the training improve our consciousness of our environment (space, objects and other individuals), we practice movement as a group and experience how our body influences and is influenced by space and others. We deal with the concepts incorporation and excorporation and use practices and techniques from cultures that are much more conscious with the relationship between the body and their environment on a daily basis than we are in our culture.

 

Being one Being

 

Not every part of us is beautiful and shiny. Let's not pretend we are perfect, but let us deal with our shadow side, the parts of us that we rather not present to the outside world, the dust under our carpet. We also deal with subjects that are not much emphasized in our culture such as death, disease and insanity. Just as in the other parts of the training we are not trying to be too serious and “mindful” (as in having a “full” mind), but we play, have fun and explore things that are not part of our daily way of thinking and acting.
