Target Group + Translation:
This workshop is directed to adult people who want to come in contact with themselves, their own
voice, their body, their passion and with other people from all over Europe. You should be curious
and open to learn more about yourselves by singing and bodywork, by meditations and creative
methods. You don´t need to have any singing skills or other competencies. The workshop is mainly
addressed to people who have little experiences with non-formal education and who have some
disadvantages in approaching trainings (based on migration, low educational, age or economical
background, rural area etc.). Because of the diversity in the workshop men are especially invited to
join the workshop. We also ask elderly people to feel warmly welcome to participate.
Main activities Programme + Programme translation:
If you join this workshop, you will experience a process of getting more alive, to be in contact with
your heart, your feelings, your body and your voice. The workshop will guide you through a
personal process to find out more about fulfillment in your life, about being healthy by relaxation,
positive body-feeling and the expression of your emotions. As main tools of this process we will be
singing together and doing bodywork. Furthermore we offer meditation, creative methods like
painting and writing as well as discussions and group-work. On the first day you get to know the
other participants and make connection within the group. You make first experiences with your
voice and your body, start singing together and coming in contact with your own intention which
brought you to the workshop. On the second day you can reflect about your own life. On different
levels you go further into the question where you come from and where you will go to (local,
emotional, spiritual, etc.). You connect with the present moment and you can experience more and
more pleasure by singing and moving. The third day is meant to experience vividness and energy:
you will reflect about your own personal borders (Yes and No) in actual life. You will experience to
express your Yes and your No in the body-work and find out where the energy is flowing and how
it makes you feel alive. Day number four will deal with abundance. You visualize your life in
fulfillment. Based on this you will create a ritual to send your intention and wishes to the universe.
Questions about spirituality and life-tasks may come up and get space. On the last day you will
have time to reflect the process of the workshop and to draw your own conclusions about your daily
life. You will get own ideas how to transfer the insights of the workshop and how to live more
healthy. At the end we will evaluation the workshop and take time to say good bye.
