Workshop-Description

Focusing on self-care, healing, and releasing what no longer serves us, we present the “Improvisation as a Healer” workshop.

During the two-hour and half sessions, we will engage in creative writing and explore landscape sounds, words, and movements. Through a series of physical exercises that emphasize shaking, breathing, and visualizing bones, muscles, and streams of water within our bodies, we will not only transform physical textures and rhythms through improvisation but also expand our imaginative channels for function and coordination. This allows us to connect more deeply with our body’s energetic flow while enhancing strength and enjoyment in a nurturing atmosphere of calmness and vitality.

I would like to invite you to join us for inner reflection, and calmness. It would be an opportunity for us to come together and find solace during these uncertain times.
