Lange Jahre konnte ich keinen Weg zu einer regelmäßigen Meditationspraxis finden.

In der Stille nur zu beobachten, fühlte sich oft einengend an. Erst durch den somatischen Ansatz des Body-Mind-Centering bin ich fast selbstverständlich und überraschend bei meiner täglichen Meditation gelangt.

In diesem einwöchigen Online-Kurs führe ich Euch in diese säkulare Achtsamkeitspraxis ein. Dabei fokussieren wir uns auf einem Thema, das eng mit verschiedenen kontemplativen Traditionen durch die Zeiten hindurch verbunden ist: Atmung.

Wir beginnen jeden Tag mit einem anatomischen und physiologischen Input durch Bilder und Erklärungen. Danach gehen wir in die Meditation, in der ich uns durch die besprochenen Strukturen und Dynamiken leite. Sie sind unser Fokus, der unsere Aufmerksamkeit bei den inneren Bewegungen von Moment zu Moment bringt. Dabei gehen Wahrnehmen und Reagieren, Passivität und Aktivität in ihr lebendiges Wechselspiel.

Der Kern dieses Ansatzes ist, dass es nicht um eine Meditations-Challenge oder Atem-Arbeit geht. Wir müssen nichts leisten, sondern gehen mit ehrlicher Neugier für uns selbst als Atmende in die Achtsamkeit. 

In jeder Session gibt es Zeit, um Fragen zu stellen und Erlebtes zu teilen.

Themen sind (u.a.):

• Die Atemstrukturen: Zwerchfell, Rippen und Nacken-/Halsmuskulatur, Lungen
• Herz & Lungen: Atem und Blutkreislauf
• Atmung & Zellatmung
• Innere & räumliche Orientierung mit Atmung
• Individuelle Atem-Entwicklung &  Evolution des Atmens

For many years, I couldn’t find a path to a regular meditation practice.

Simply observing in silence often felt constricting. It wasn’t until I encountered the somatic approach of Body-Mind Centering that I naturally and surprisingly found my way into daily meditation.

In this one-week online course, I’ll introduce you to this secular mindfulness practice. We’ll focus on a theme that has been deeply connected to various contemplative traditions throughout history: the breath.

Each day begins with an anatomical and physiological introduction using images and explanations. After that, we move into meditation, where I guide us through the discussed structures and dynamics. These become our focus, bringing our attention to the inner movements from moment to moment. Perception and response, passivity and activity enter into a living interplay.

At the core of this approach is the understanding that this is not about a meditation challenge or breathwork. There’s nothing to achieve — instead, we approach mindfulness with honest curiosity toward ourselves as breathing beings.
Each session includes time for questions and sharing experiences.

Topics include (among others):

• The structures of breathing: diaphragm, ribs and neck/throat muscles, lungs
   
• Heart & lungs: breathing and the circulatory system
   
• Breathing & cellular respiration
   
• Inner & spatial orientation through breath
   
• Individual breath development & the evolution of breathing

A weekend workshop with dance, somatic movement and embodiment. With Marianne (Axis Syllabus) and Judith.

From the skin of the bones to ligaments of our joints, the sheets of our muscles to the suspension of our organs. Fascia shapes, makes, holds us.

Although fascia has long become a buzzword in movement, wellness and health it often stays unclear what exactly it is that makes it that important. What is it made of? What are its qualities? How to address them in movement and touch?

We will look into different facets of the fascial system:

• Its origin and build up as well as its diverse forms in our body.
• Its ability to connect body parts and to pass on movement impulses through tension and elasticity 
• The fascia network as a sensing organ and its support for the muscular and nervous system
• The concept of Tensegrity as a strategy for sustainable movement

We will approach our topic with a multi-disciplinary style that includes theoretical input, somatic exploration in solo, partner and group settings as well as fun experiments. Integrated into improvised and  set dance material we open up to new possibilities for our movement.

Saturday, 07.06. from 11-17:00

Sunday, 08.06. from 11-16:00
