The Body is a receptacle of time. Through an exploration down to a groundless stage of collective memories in our past we can strike a vein of abundant resources, which can enrich the essence of our life. I want to activate these forgotten memories by concentrating on our inner core, our Ki (vital) energy and it's circulation. Body Resonance is a key to open up the ever changing world inside and outside of us which helps the body to unfold its secrets, holding them up until they shine and tremble. Everything is in resonance with each other.Through a dialogue with our body, we can learn to be moved by inner and outer forces, thus realizing we are a part of the Universe.A dance of metamorphosis inevitably appears.
One step to metamorphosis
Let's enjoy chaos!
