Tending the Waters Within: An Embodied Exploration (at Skinship Berlin)

We are living bodies of water. As such, our bodies form part of the big water cycles of this planet - we belong to the web of innumerable temporary hosts for the fluids of this earth that are constantly moving, flowing, shapeshifting through myriads of different forms and locations, and that are at the center of all life on earth.

In this Continuum class, we connect with the waters of our own body - through breath, sound, movement, imagery, and sensation. It is an invitation to tap into a deep sense of your aliveness and vitality, to connect to the intelligence of your fluid system, and to get a felt sense experience of our embeddedness in the web of life.

✨ Continuum is a somatic practice of self-exploration (founded by Emilie Conrad) that uses sound, breath and movement in order to connect deeply with ourselves and our fluid nature. It is a way to nurture ourselves, to open up spaces for curiosity and play, to loosen the grip of our habitual tensions and movement patterns, and to access the self-regulatory capacities of the body. We can slow down, calm the nervous system and find deep rest; and we are invited to experience the ongoing processes of our bodies as wordless cosmic poetry and creative expression.

✨ Language: The workshop will be held either in English or in German, depeding on the needs of the group. Please let me know if you have a specific need or preference.

✨ Venue: The event takes place at the studio of Skinship - a touch-based place for kinship, in Berlin Friedrichshain.

✨ PLEASE KNOW THAT THIS IS A QUEER-CENTERING SPACE - created primarily as a saf(er) space for LGBTQA folks. As long as you know and respect that, everybody is welcome, regardless of gender identification or sexual orientation, if you see yourself as an ally. If you have any questions about this, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
