A BISO – Body In Soul – Afternoon

Throughout this afternoon we will dance together, journey together, explore an invitation, a theme.

This month we’ll take a moving curiosity towards the Movement Portal of Centring and what may awakening and arising from any of our many centre points, what may be emerging between cracks, from nooks and crannies –

Diving into the wisdom of our bones and bodies, our minds and creativity, through dance and shamanic journeying we will have an opportunity to listen to what may be alive in our systems.

We will dance and travel down and along our own vertical and horizontal axii, from crown of head to soles of feet and from fingertip to fingertip along the reach of our arm span, opening from there into free form movement exploration.

All are welcome, you just need a willingness to move, be curious and enjoy dancing and travelling in good company with carefully built soundscapes for your explorations

BISO – Body in Soul : This conscious movement practice is a map to align with an essence of being that is ever present and travels along the lines and ages of being human – passion, hope, love, creativity, shadow and growth. Our BISO tool bag includes six movement portals, the FABRR’s method – an opening to embodied attention, breath, rhythm, movement and space, the Medicine Wheel, BodySpirit and simple ritual. Embodiment, dance, creativity, music and community is one way of tapping into and reminding ourselves and each other of the gift of being alive – the opportunity of discovery.

In this drop in Open Floor class, through movement, all kinds of music, good company and a good map, time and again we find ways to connect to ourselves and each other – even online. I’m so curious about the marrying of the collective web we tap into on Zoom/ in cyber space.How much of our Soul and Spirit can we support in each other and in ourselves for deep connection both inner and outer?

Turning Point, an Open Floor, online moving meditation cycle

A repetition of breath awareness, walking meditation and movement.All are welcome.

I like this definition of turning:To move in a circular direction wholly or partly round an axis, a centre point.What if the axis is Spirit? And we invite ourselves into alignment and connection with our own understanding of that word?What if the cyclical focus of breath moving in and out, foot stepping after foot and the organic free flow of movement through your body was your beat, your repetition, your meditation.What would turn? What would settle? What would presence itself?

The class is €14 – €16

A BISO (Body In Soul) conscious movement workshop.

This weekend will be a movement exploration, adventure and travel into the spaces between rising and falling, the vertical and the horizontal. This space, is a moment – ​​a centre point, a threshold. The in-between space of neither one thing or another is, I believe, a doorway to presence, a portal to being in the now and sensing what is truly alive or awakening for us.

We will be exploring the body and soul itself, in motion, as an inherently already present and living medicine wheel. Full of information, creativity and options for being…We will be working with the BISO conscious movement practice – focus, attention, breath, rhythm, space, creativity and simple ritual.

‘I don’t know what the soul is. But I imagine that somehow our bodies surround what has always been.’ Anne Michaels, Fugitive Pieces.

Another deep and delicious round of community, movement, music and deep enquiry begins..

The next six week Gathering approaches – loving them as much as ever:)

Some people have been alongside for almost every group over the past three and a half years, some drop by every now and again and often there is someone new to the group and these cycles. It creates such a rich and deep field of attention to one another…

Through the conscious movement map of BISO – Body In Soul – we focus on a different Movement Portal each time. This cycle will see us taking our curiosity, creativity and exploration into the question and expression of presence.

What is it? What’s going on when we feel it?

Our sessions will travel through the Movement Portal of Centring, alongside the movement inherent in the horizontal and vertical Midline.

There will be some simple teachings and explorations on the Medicine Wheel and simple enquiry. Each week will open a doorway into aspects of our body, heart, mind, soul, spirit.

Six closed sessions, €200 for the cycle and the dates are:

May 14, 21, 28

Jun 4, 11, 25 – no class on the 18

All sessions will take place every Tuesday from 5-7pm, GMT

The Shaman's Doorway with Chris Luttichau, Kew, London
2024-05-18 10:00 - 2024-05-19 16:00 (Europe/London)
This workshop is an important foundation for any further shamanic study you might want to do. It introduces you to some of the core methods used in shamanism and helps you establish your own relationship to them. You will experience and learn to practice the ancient Shamanic path to wholeness and balance.

We will spend time creating a strong, safe bridge to the spirit world, which can lead you and support you into your future. The relationships you make with the spirit teacher and your spirit animal are the key to the Doorway. It is suitable both for beginners and for those who want to deepen a link they have already established.

Shamanism is an ancient, earth-based spiritual path for healing, awakening, and raising consciousness. At its core is the sacred image of the World Tree. Like our ancestors before us, we will travel to the upper world (crown) to meet our spirit teachers, to the lower world (roots) of the animals, and to the middle world (trunk) to meet the spirits existing in this reality. The magic and healing of the allies from these three realms can touch our hearts and lead us powerfully into the mystery of what it is to be a human being.

We will travel in a sacred space and time between the world of spirit and our physical world. In a grounded and ceremonial way, we can surrender and become the ‘hollow bone’, allowing spirit to flow through us and lifting our consciousness closer to the sacred dream of life. We will use the core shamanic techniques of journey, dance, song and walk combined with the spirit help of drum, rattle, feather and herbs.Shamans always work for their tribe. Over the weekend, we will form a circle working together for ourselves, each other and for Mother Earth. The core practices you will learn have a strong focus on bringing back information and healing for the group, and will teach you skills which you can take home to use for yourself and others.

This workshop will help you open your own doorway to the spirit world, and give you the fundamental tool of journeying, together with other key shamanic practices. These can lead you towards reclaiming the ancient wisdom buried within your DNA, and so to your true, authentic power.

Libido Deepening 1, Relation Ship residential ongoing group, Bois Le Comte, Belgium
2024-06-06 19:00 - 2024-06-09 13:00 (Europe/London)
Relation Ship, an Open Floor Tryptytch, residential the beautiful Bois Le Comte in Orval, southern Belgium.This series of three connected workshops will expand and deepen the exploration of the content of Libido Fundamentals in a wider context and ongoing study of relationship. We will take a different focus in each module on our innate capacity forrelationship with each other, in its mystery, difficulty and magic.

We will journey into our capacity to embody and feel a sense of intimacy, our capacity to inhabit the innocence and power ofour Libidic energy – looking at our life force, gender, sex and sexual energy – and our capacity for moments of true presenceand being.

The first weekend will focus on Intimacy – what is it? What is the emotional intelligence available to us here? What are the wayswe can embody an alive, vulnerable, open and powerful sense of ourselves in relation to others? We will open up the window ofhow our gender and our biological identity contribute to our sense of ourselves in relationship – with self and others…

The second weekend will focus on Libido Fundamentals II, an expansion and deepening of some of the ground covered inLibido Fundamentals: The movement of our sexual response cycle and creative life force. How do we ground and embody thisprimal energy that is every person’s birth right? How do we embody our extraordinary minds full of stories, longing, dreams andmemories around our Libido?

The third weekend will see us entering further the exploration of being present in relationship – to ourselves, each other and thewider field of our communities and our sense of Spirit.

As we set sail together we will use the map of the Open Floor Movement Practice, opening up the 4 dimensions of embodimenton our journey – Physical, Emotional, Mind and Soul. An exploration of the 4 relational Hungers of Solitude, Connection,Belonging and Spirit will thread their way through each weekend and we will work with the Window of Presence throughout,mapping and gauging when it can become difficult to stay present with ourselves.

This work offers deep exploration of parts of who we are as humans, opening up possibilities for change, acceptance andmoments of deep joy and gratitude for being alive. Prepare for all kinds of weather on our ship! Chances are you’ll be in excellent company with a fine map to help steer us through what may come our way…
