Workshops & Regular Classes

Somatic Dialogue is a gentle practice of body and mind in movement. It uses a soft and mindful approach to the body and enables the mind to accompany the body in a loving way. Through guided dance improvisation and hands-on techniques, the participants can enter into an intimate dialogue with themselves and with the world surrounding them.

It opens a space in us, where we can enter into a deep listening, discover our inner universe, and get closer to our physical, emotional, sensual and poetic selves.

Muhabbet is a conversation in which love flows between the members holding the conversation.

​

In this workshop, we will practice the main movement principles of Somatic Dialogue from a silent place inside of us. We will not speak during the practice but then have time to verbalize our experiences.

This workshop is held by Campus Kientalerhof.

Are you in need of a sustainable practice that support your body-mind  connection?

Moving our body and silencing our mind in our busy lives is not always easy. Making room for the ups and downs of our lives and mindfully expanding our inner space to contain all the dynamics with compassion and acceptance is a skill we can learn to lead a more harmonious life that our human soul desire. 

Somatic dialogue is a body practice that allows us to gently explore and transform the way we relate to our body. It encourages us to explore possibilities of getting in contact with ourselves, connecting to our body wisdom and adopting an embodied approach to life where we can face the changes from a more earthy, joyful and playful place.

It helps us with the topics like: embodying the "letting go”, stress relief, self regulation and balancing our “doing/being” energies. 

During the sessions you are guided through simple movement improvisations accompanied with beautiful music to connect to your inner resources in your own pace and mindfully expand the perception of your body in physical, mental, emotional and sensational levels. 

Come to give yourself a moment to meet yourself again, regardless of the circumstances! It will not only move your body, but your heart…

Basics of Somatic Dialogue

 

Workshop 1: 15.02.2025

Witnessing our Three Centres and Peripheries

In this workshop we will mainly explore our three centres and our peripheries, on all spaces (horizontal, in-between, vertical). We will also experiment how we relate to the centre of our body, as opposed to the periphery of our body, and discover how we make use of them, and what they have to say to us. We will experience in depth the inner connection between the centres and periphery and thus become more aware of our proprioception and exteroception.

Starting with the purely physical explorations, step by step the well guided improvisation tasks will lead us to our emotional, imaginary and poetic selves.

A day full of movement and exploration, in a safe and gentle environment.

This workshop is very suitable for beginner, intermediate and advanced levels. But it will mainly focus on the basics, so all beginners are welcome, including first timers. :)

​

Workshop 2: 15.03.2025

Body Structures in our Inner Landscapes

 

We will start with exploring all movement possibilities while connecting to our body structures, such as bone and muscle structures, connective tissues, organs and fluid. Once more familiar and in touch with our own body structure we will then explore how they lead us into our inner landscapes. 

In this safe and non-performative space, we will have the possibility to relate our world of sensations, and imagery which derives from our inner structure, and have the possibility to travel within ourselves.

A day of deep improvisation, at our own personal pace, letting us immerse into our poetic world.

This workshop will take us from physical exploration to meditative experiences in motion.

All levels are welcome, including first timers:)

Waves in Me

I'm inviting you to explore the seamless connection between the elemental rhythms of belly dance and the natural patterns of ocean waves. This workshop is designed to uncover the hidden links within our movements that, though often invisible, shape the core techniques of belly dance.

​

On February 22nd, we will discover the transformative power of belly dance, infused with wave-like motions that echo the gentle yet profound energies of the ocean. This session will be a journey through the softer, calming, and enriching aspects of movement, reminding us of the fluid and yin (feminine)  essence inherently flowing within us.

​

Designed for participants of all dance backgrounds, from newcomers to seasoned dancers, this workshop will also serve as a precursor to our next 'Earth' workshop, bridging the elements and deepening our understanding of our physical and energetic presence.

​

29.3.2025

Beneath My Feet, the Earth

Step into the embrace of the Earth with us, as we explore the grounding rhythms of belly dance. This workshop is crafted to weave the solid, nurturing embrace of Earth into each movement, revealing a dance deeply connected to the enduring strength beneath us.

​

Join us on March 29th to unlock the potent energies of belly dance, harmonized with movements that resonate with the power and clarity of the Earth. Together, we will embark on a transformative journey, grounding ourselves in the profound stability that anchors our being.

​

This workshop welcomes dancers of all landscapes, whether you are stepping onto the dance floor for the first time or have traced its bounds for years. 

​

Price: 1-day workshop: 1200 Kč.

Hi! I'm Pedro. I'm a Somatic Dialogue Facilitator, certified since 2022. I have been practicing dance since 2005 and I'm interested in exploring different modes of relation and dialogues between the body and the space, the body and the elements of nature, the body and the other body, the body and its own body.

​

Having nowadays Somatic Dialogue as the axis of my research, I welcomed in my life different practices of landscape and movement from different researchers, artists, farmers, gardeners, dancers and choreographers. I warmly invite you to both individual and group classes as well as the online classes that incorporate these experiences in my facilitating sessions.

​

Within this cycle we'll explore the multiple facets of the dialogue with ourselves. Connected around the world and in the comfort of our homes, we'll allow the dance within us to manifest itself through specific invitations to movement. Each session is unique. Each morning we meet, we'll consider the new “me” that we are that day and allow it to reach its full expression. We highly invite you to revisit the recording of the session every day until the next one and to let it resonate every time with the "me" of that day. Let's dance!

Wednesdays from 10:30-11:45 (Central European Time)

Price: 2400 CZK (6 sessions of 75 minutes)

Dear friends,

In autumn we would like to invite you again to a series of movement meetings where we can continue or start our somatic journey.
The evenings will be led alternately by Kateřina Ledvinková and Katrin Köhler. We look forward to meeting you.

***

It is my wish that during our time together we shall have the opportunity to discover movement from a personal perspective, find our way to ourselves, and dance from that very place.

We will awaken receptivity to what is happening in our movement. Through movement improvisations and simple exercises we will experience different physical invitations. We will be guided by the specific physical impulses that our bodies naturally develop in dance. Because physical "awareness" brings the essential kindness so necessary for free movement. Simplicity and clarity has the power to make each of us dance.*

For me, working in a closed group, its dynamics and intimacy, adds specific value to our unique somatic journey.

Kateřina

***

With this class, I would like to offer a space in our usually very busy everyday life where we can just perceive ourselves and our own bodies.

Using movement and dance improvisations with music on the ground and in space, we will listen to our body and invite it to express what it is experiencing in the present moment.
We do not need to think about how we should move or how we look from outside.
In this process we will be supported by the guidance of various physical and inner themes. In this way, we may get deeper into contact with ourselves and our feelings and may learn to be more at home in our bodies.

Katrin
