Deze workshop is bedoeld voor iedereen die nieuwsgierig is naar zijn of haar lichaam en zijn relatie tot andere lichamen en ruimte. Een zintuiglijke ervaring die dicht in de buurt komt van meditatieve contemplatie.
De workshop biedt de oefening aan die onderzocht wordt op het bewustzijn en de zintuigen. We werken zowel individueel om ons te richten op ons eigen lichaam, als met anderen om te begrijpen hoe elk lichaam dat anders doet. Door dit te ontdekken, opent het de mogelijkheid om de kans te geven, en creëert het de gevoeligheid die we kunnen toepassen op ons dagelijks leven. We zullen nieuwe kennis opdoen en ons lichaam herontdekken. Laten we onderzoeken hoe je jouw lichaam van binnen en buiten ervaart.

[ENGLISH]
​
The workshop offers the exercise researched upon the awareness and the senses. We will work both individual to focus on your own body, and with others to understand how each body does differently. By discovering, it may open up the possibility to give the opportunity, and creates the sensitivity that we can apply to our everyday life. We aim to gain new knowledge and discover about the body and enrich the personal experience. Let’s explore how we experience the body from the inside and the outside.
This workshop is meant for everyone who is curious about their body and its relation to other bodies and space. A sense-opening experience that comes close to meditative contemplation.
