“Your ecstasy is a movement towards the height and your meditation is a movement towards the depth.
And once you have both, your life becomes a celebration” – Osho
Birth, life and death are inseparable connected to each other. Each moment; birth, life and death are happening at the same time. When birth is the start of a new life, it’s also the end of your floating in the womb. When we die, it’s the end of this living body, but it also a step into the unknown. This is the natural movement of Existence. Often we have a hard time to surrender to the changes of life and like to keep things as they are. This creates tensions and conflict in us. When we reconnect to our true nature, we experience that which is unmoveable, unchangeable in us. When we are home in our being, we trust and enjoy life. The deeper we are rooted in the body and presence, the easier it is to move with the changes and possibilities of life. Through dance & meditation we will explore these themes of life’s dance.
Birth is the door between two lives; one is left behind, one is waiting ahead. It’s an ending and a new beginning at the same time. We leave the womb in order to live. Dead leaves will fall from the tree to make space for new leaves to grow out of the branches. The seed needs to crack before it can blossom. This movement of life is not in our hands. It functions naturally. Through dance and meditation we will explore the art of cracking, moving through and surrendering to life. There is so much more and different energy available in us, than we are used to

We tend to live our life on the surface, in order to feel “safe”. It is fear and habit which holds us back from living totally and taking risks. Than life becomes so mediocre and we feel unfree. When we start to live life to the fullest, it becomes more intense and alive and we start to feel more; both our joy and pains. Because we prefer to skip the pain, we skip the rest too, which means that we minimalize our life energy. It requires some courage to live and love with an open heart. The dance will bring life, love, breath and movement in our body and heart, so the frozen parts can melt and life energy can flow more free in us and in our life. Meditation will support you to look deep and honest inside yourself where you sabotage your own creativity and inspiration. It will create more insight in how the dynamics between supporting and sabotaging your life energy works in you

Surrender | The Art of Letting go
In this weekend you are invited to surrender and make space in your heart by learning the art of letting go. Change is the nature of life and letting go is part of it. Although that can touch sadness in us, it also creates space for something new to enter. When we become more at ease with the flow of life; birth & death, we free our natural vitality and creativity. Life is inviting us any moment to surrender to it.

Summer is the time of the year when nature is blossoming. When you look at nature, each year again and again in this season, there is so much abundance and aliveness. The seeds are bursting into flowers, plants and trees. There is a natural, strong vital life force; a passion to live, that wants to go out, grow and blossom. We cannot push or break open the seed, than it will die. But we can shower it with our attention, our power, our intention & our love, so it can unfold and become what’s hidden in the seed. A beautiful time of the year to connect to what wants to be born in your heart. What needs your attention for further growth? Breath, movement and meditation are the keys in opening our hearts. Dance & meditation will support this proces of unfolding.
Date: start Wednesday 24 t/m Saturday 27 august 2022
Where: Centrum Helios Heerde
