Hester de Vries and Teun Melis
Workshop CI in water.
This workshop is a deep, explorative journey where water therapy flows naturally into water dance. Over three days, we will explore a series of themes that invite us into deeper connection — with ourselves, each other, and the water. We begin the exploration of each theme in a setting of ‘water therapy’ in which there is a clear distinction of ‘giver’ and ‘receiver’, and will flow into ‘water dance’ where dynamics of giving and receiving are blurred, alternated and integrated. Across the three days, each theme will be approached as a continuum — exploring each end of a polarity, and gradually will move toward the center, where opposites meet; inviting us to explore how to embody the continuum and find confidence and trust in the integration.
- Growing roots in liquidity. Exploring duality between fluidity and anchoring (your roots). How to integrate the dance in the moment.
- Therapeutic field: bodywork, fascia release, nervous system regulation, quality of touch, allowing the body’s innate wisdom, finding trust and confidence in the support of another’s body as a therapeutic tool. Giving from abundance, receiving from allowing.
- Allowing the story to unfold. From holding space for the partner to explorations of mutual space holding. Exploring how we relate to water, from resting and stillness to organic movement.
