Building Bridges

Over dit evenement

Building Bridges is a series of embodied workshops exploring subtle spaces and non-obvious connections — the integrative meeting point between seemingly separate qualities.

The first series is dedicated to polarities.
Each meeting explores one theme.

Meeting 1. Rest ↔ Activity.

I notice it is often easier to fully exist in one mode.
To be fully active — or fully at rest.

But the bridge between the two is often overlooked.

We rarely train ourselves through the body to experience active rest.
To be soft within structure.
To stay focused with ease.
To have boundaries while remaining open.

At times, these qualities may seem contradictory.
Yet somewhere between them exists an undiscovered space — inviting us to explore it and learn how to inhabit it.

A space where activity no longer requires over-efforting.
A space that may quietly reshape how we move through daily life, with greater trust in the body’s cues.

This workshop is for those who are interested in and value depth, subtlety, and lived exploration.

Through simple and clear tools, using movement and contact with another person as a playground, we will learn to notice the body’s cues of over-efforting — and explore how to invite ease and restfulness without compromising activity.

During these 2.5 hours, we will begin with a somatic movement class to explore possibilities individually.

From there, we will move into guided partner work — giving and receiving touch — with space to explore both roles and integrate the experience from the previous practice.

At the end, we’ll slow down, share reflections, and enjoy tea together.

This is a guided somatic space, tailored for exploring movement and contact in a safe and attentive way.

You are welcome to come alone or with someone you trust.

With love,
Anastasia
