This transformative day retreat will approach spontaneous movement through the feminine flow and masculine direction. This will allow us to rediscover our contact partner dances, and deepen our understanding of the creative forces that move us in unity.

Teachers Guy Elhadad and Miwa Line Løtveit will guide through integrated somatic movement and contact dance. Get ready for a journey exploring layers of connecting to each other, somatic therapy dynamics and emotional release integrated in the dance.

We will also guide you through basic positions for contact lifts before we move into the open jam.

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐉𝐀𝐌
The jam will be a very special part of the evening. Rayam Soeiro «1𝘲𝘶𝘢𝘳𝘵4» will share his ambient music over Massimo Barberi dreamy soundscapes. Together they will create live improvised music that will accompany and amplify the dances that will unfold.
We are going to meet ourselves in the dance, release the stuckness in our body-mind centres, create new opportunities and ways to move that are more aligned to our highest potential.
Christine Berggren will close the evening with guided meditation and breathwork with the live ambient guitars and synthesizer landscapes of «1𝘲𝘶𝘢𝘳𝘵4».

𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐖𝐇𝐎𝐌
This day retreat is open to all people of all ages and experiences interested in movement as a path of knowledge, healing, communication and personal enrichment

𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐌𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭
Somatic healing in movement therapy is a dynamic, body-centered approach that uses intentional movement to unlock emotional and physical blockages stored deep within the body. By connecting movement with breath and awareness, individuals can release trapped emotions, reduce stress, and realign with their natural flow of energy. This practice not only fosters emotional release but also improves flexibility, mental clarity, and a sense of inner peace, empowering individuals to navigate daily life with greater ease, confidence, and emotional balance.
** The Retreat is also Inspired by CBC: Contact beyond Contact, Contact Impro, Somatic Group Psychotherapy, TVM: Triple Vegal Method, Constellation and other movement modalities.
