- Body-Mind Centering® : Moving, Drawing, Writing

In this class series I invite you into practices of movement, writing and drawing. Using these, we explore presence and authenticity in movement and creative expression. This is a playful and explorative way to beginn the year, aiming to integrate physical and emotional aspects and orientate and balance yourself. 

Guided Somatization through Experiential Anatomy

In each class I offer impulses to raise the awareness of your physical self. During a somatisation you can become aware of textures, rhythms and shapes within you. You are welcome to listen to any movement currents or initiation from inside and you are free to move or rest as you wish. By doing so you open your awareness towards the inherent qualities, dynamics and potential of your tissues and body systems. Connect with the support and vitality from within yourself.

Creative expression

During writing periods, you can bring the lived experiences and discoveries of the somatisations onto the paper. Use words and drawings to resonate and reflect your physical and mental state.

Individual and shared practice

Practices that center your individual agency will be balanced with partner and group constellations: moments with supportive hands-on touch, collective movement improvisation or verbal sharings.

What is Body-Mind Centering®?

Body-Mind Centering® is a creative method that uses different approaches for each topic. Classes can be more calm or more dynamic. A regular practice supports the experience of self-efficacy and agency. While creative possibilities become alive, connection with oneself, the space and others can develop. 

With its somatic approach, Body-Mind Centering® offers an opportunity to explore one's own body from the cellular structure to broader body systems. BMC® classes can include the following elements:

• movement improvisations
• guided somatization and experiential anatomy approach
• guided movements 
• hands-on practice alone or with others 
• Integration through movement, dance, drawing or writing
• Reflection and verbal exchange
