Conscious Dance Intensive with Ty Alexander & Milla Linna

We feel delighted to host en present this wonderful event to you:

"Space of Love - Conscious Dance Intensive with Ty Alexander & Milla Linna"

Do you evaluate your experiences from a good/bad, right/wrong, significant/threat, ok/not ok, accepting/rejecting point of view? Are you curious to meet your experience from a space of openness and radical acceptance instead? Are you ready to understand criticism, control, judgement and manipulation's roots and how to soften and discontinue identifying with these qualities?

Space of Love | Conscious Dance Intensive is a day of contemplation into the nature of love and openness through stillness and movement. We will explore and welcome the experience of meeting ourselves and each other without expectations, hidden contracts, desires, judgement, projections and assumptions. Instead, Ty and Milla invite you to feel the beauty and spaciousness of experiencing your body-mind and others from the silence of Being and the stillness that pervades and underlies all movement.

Conscious Partner Dancing Session
Dancing with another is a sacred act through which you bring the most vulnerable parts of you into contact. Therefore, we will explore prioritizing connection over engaging with our ego while dancing with a partner. What is it like to experience a connection without projections about how things should be? What is it like to dance with someone without evaluation or analysis? We aim to create a space where you directly experience the answers to these questions. And, through gentle and safe guidance, we support you in sinking into connection with another through dance and help you to understand and overcome overthinking and resistance.

Cacao Ceremony
Our cacao ceremony will serve as a tool that supports complete attention within the present moment. When we rest in complete attention, we cease focusing exclusively on the content of our experience and sink profoundly within its context. In doing so, our bodies relax, our nervous systems ease, our emotional and energetic bodies flow, and we effortlessly perceive sights, sounds, tastes, textures, and smells without judgment or resistance. Ceremony reminds us of our natural state of Being. The activity of doing and becoming comes to an end.

Conscious Dance Journey
Conscious dance is an embodiment-emphasized somatic dance exploration in a safe and trusted space to welcome and meet all aspects of yourself. We will go on a movement journey guided by Ty Alexander, with music support from his partner DJ Milla Linna, as he provides us with tools and resources to embody feelings, emotions, traumas, and tensions buried deep in our bodies and subconscious. The journey will leave you with new perspectives and practical ways to meet your experience with love, compassion, empathy, wisdom and care through dance, self-inquiry and movement. We encourage you to use the insights and revelations you may experience during the journey to meet the challenges within your daily life.

Practical info:
