Primal Play workshop

We are excited to bring to you our next Primal Play workshop!

Primal Play is an embodied, non-verbal, relational movement practice of self-discovery and closer connections. You are invited to step on the mat with one or more human bodies and start to play!

In this Primal Play workshop, we'll engage with our whole body & being, diving into our curiosity, and co-creating a space for playful exploration and genuine human connection.

Let's explore the sense of freedom, aliveness, intimacy and authentic expressions in this field of unfolding, moment to moment dynamics of playing together. Sometimes wild, sometimes soft, or slow, or energetic, quiet, every time a surprise. There is no right or wrong. There is no goal. Every dynamic new and unique, and profound.

This evening has a simple and clear design. We begin with guided body awareness exercises to ground and attune to yourself, others and the space. This way you can connect with others within your own boundaries and create a deeper connection with yourself.
Then we move on to Primal Play and from there we will end with a calming, integrating and nourishing partner meditation, the Belly2Belly.

We invite you to learn to create your own safety by practicing becoming aware of the signals your body sends. You will practice how to respect and appreciate this in yourself and others. You will practice indicating this in a clear way. And thereby allow your own strength and value to grow and flourish. Being allowed to be vulnerable. Taking back your autonomy, and being authentic in your connections with yourself and others.

When we feel safe, we dare to take more risks, to live, to go on adventures.

Consequences of this, stress discharge, aliveness, joy and authenticity in your connections, playfulness, deeper intimacy and heartfelt connections.

This evening is a great opportunity to practice and take the embodied experiences, insights and exercises into your own living environment.

During the workshop you will have plenty of opportunities to meet and explore with different people. No experience is required, just your presence and willingness to play in your own unique way.

Everything is an invitation, you don't have to do anything, participation in an activity, and with whom, is your free choice every time.

Let's play, learn, and grow together.

Love to see you on the playground!
