This year we are hosting a Practitioner & Teachers Gathering called Deep Practice Days on March 4-8th.

The focus in these five days is for practitioners within a or several somatic movement techniques to be able to meet and support each other in a peer-to-peer environment. We are curious about what we as practitioners need in terms of community to thrive and be nourished to sustain our practice, health and relations. We also want to create a space where we can reflect on ethics, political activism and decolonial perspectives in our practices and pedagogy, as well as ancestry and lineage and how to archive the knowledge of the elders in our global community.

Our concept is that we meet in different formats during the five days. Each day we are students together by taking a workshop with an experienced pedagogue in both a hybrid somatic dance practice, and a practice in its codified form, such as Eva Karczag’s practice, BodyMind Centering with Olive Bieringa, Skinner Releasing Technique with Sally E Dean and Lisa Nelson’s practice.Each day we eat breakfast and lunch together in the space.
Each day we move together through the form Contemplative Dance Practice or Authentic Movement.
Each day we reflect, converse and talk about the different topics above – or what we sense that it is important for us to be in dialogue about when where in the space together.

The day is from 8.30-17.30 (or 21.00) and can look like this:
8.30-9.30: breakfast and open studio space
9.30-12.30: workshop
12.30-14.00 lunch
14.00-14.30: collective nap/rest
14.30-16.30: space for collective reflection/thinking/talking/moving on different topics important to us
16.30-17.30: processing the day and being in collective non-led practice through Contemplative Dance Practice

17.30-19.00: Free time

19-21.00: Public event such as a performance lecture, panel talk or performance with soup served
