Soul Motion Foundations with Janos Grimm and Cindy Kohlmiller
Hello Dancing People!
We invite you to join us on a 5-day moving dive deep into yourself and into the spirit of Soul Motion on the beautiful island of Maui, Hawaii.
Together we will open the dance floor to experience the landscapes of relationship, our bodies as possibilities and expressions of the soul, and the art of community. This unique movement practice focuses on somatic explorations and offers specific tools that enable anyone to tune into and cultivate their own rich, inner life. From this place we can meet the world with more grace and a sense of our own ground. Fully Alive. Fully Present.
This 5-day immersion is for seasoned movers and beginners, as well as Soul Motion veterans looking to refresh. Together we will explore and really get to know what Soul Motion dance is and what it can offer to you on and off the dance floor.
Beyond the primal experience of dance we will guide and teach you structure, philosophy, and spirit of this path of soul...
There are Landscapes, what is a Platform?
How can I root myself and my presence in the moving body?
How can I bring the art of action and meditation into the dance and into my world beyond the dance floor?
What is Temenos, the place of shelter, holy ground, deep peace and sanctuary?
And, of course, we will enjoy paradise in our surroundings on Maui from it's impressive wildlife to it's intriguing history and culture!!
All experience levels welcome!
