Community Dance in Zurich: Somatics of Self-Acceptance

We invite you to experience an azul conscious dance practice on Sunday, May 26: "Conscious Dance: Somatics of Self-Acceptance"

Join us for the joy of dance and movement in a beautiful community!

Using various dance/movement therapy methods, azul conscious dance and other body-oriented techniques, we are immersing ourselves into a deep experience supported by guidance and workshop structure, specially selected music and energy of other movers and dancers.

It is a transformative session that integrates acceptance and cognitive defusion techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). This workshop will help you reduce or break free from some of self-limiting thoughts and connect with your true self. Together, we'll dance with what we love about ourselves and what brings us pain and discomfort, using scientifically researched methods, e.g. to reduce the believability and emotional impact of negative thoughts, to embrace and accept your emotions and sensations as they arise.

Engage deeply with your subconscious and body intelligence in a powerful, immersive process. This session is designed to build emotional resilience and enhance mental well-being, guiding you toward unconditional self-acceptance and the joy of being authentically you.

"The worst loneliness is to not be comfortable with yourself." - Mark Twain

"We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves." - Dalai Lama XIV

Let's dance towards greater lightness, freedom, and aliveness!

Additionally, you will have the opportunity to measure the before and after effects of the workshop for your personal experience and curiosity.

*******************************

What is azul conscious dance? 
It is a session of connecting to yourself and your body, expressing emotions and whatever wants to be expressed, releasing tensions and stress.
It is not really a dance to perform and look good externally. Instead - you listen deeply to your body and impulses that arise. You creatively engage in some new movements guided gently by beautiful music, environment, etc. Even if it is just slow moves on the floor or if you stand on your feet doing some micro movements that nobody sees, exploring your sensations and opening to what authentic being and movement for you is - that's it! 
It is a practice that you do for yourself, allowing your body to move its way intuitively, getting into the ease of movement exploration - fun, freeing and relaxing!

No prior dance experience required. Everyone is welcome to go on this journey.
