$25-20 Sliding scale / cash or transfer on the day
All welcome
****

Each Friday our Contact Improvisation Community meets at the Yandina School of Arts to share the dance in a 2-hour facilitated class. Starting point is the exploration of one's body through movement in a grounding and nourishing way. Basic skills around moving together with touch and shared weight will be re-visited regularly in partner exercises. We’ll always have phases to dance together as a group where individual needs and impulses are guiding us in a consensual environment.

-------------
We welcome new dancers keen to give Contact Improv a try. No experience is necessary.
Time: 6-8pm
$25-30 sliding scale / cash or direct deposit on the night
-------------

Most classes will be taught by Joerg Hassmann, an internationally well known teacher. There is a team of experienced dancers, who facilitate the sessions, when Joerg is travelling to teach Workshops elsewhere.

CONTACT IMPROVISATION
has been developing internationally since 1972 and it started from the exploration, research and inquiries of Steve Paxton. It involves the exploration of one's body in relation to others and the space of presence they visit, by using the fundamentals of sharing weight, listening touch, and movement awareness. It has evolved into a broad global community around "jams" characterised by their welcoming attitude towards newcomers to dance, as well as seasoned practitioners, and its fundaments relate with dancing without being guided by music, instead, the dancers learn to listen to the sounds that the dance itself brings.

JOERG HASSMANN
Joerg is a dancer and passionate movement teacher, deeply interested in learning and the question 'what is it that makes us feel connected?' - on many different levels. He is one of the leading figures in Europe in the field of Contact Improvisation, and has been teaching for more than 25 years, offering training programmes and organising festivals. Many kinds of sports, release techniques, somatic work, Zenthai Shiatsu, instant composition and performance work have informed his dance and his teaching. He's been living on the Sunshine Coast for the last four years, facilitating the growths of the local CI community.

πŸ—“οΈ Next Date: Sunday, 20th of July
⌚️ Time: 4pm to 7:30pm

✨ Cost: $33

🌟 Event Description

πŸ’« Discover the Freedom of Movement
Our Ecstatic Soul Journey is running every month in Coolum Beach, where we celebrate the joy of movement and the power of community. This unique gathering offers a safe and welcoming space for individuals of all backgrounds to express themselves freely through dance. Whether you’re an experienced dancer or a complete beginner, our event is designed to help you connect with your body, mind, and soul in a profound way.

πŸ’« Ecstatic Dance is more than just moving to music β€” it’s a journey of self-discovery and expression. It’s about connecting with your body, surrendering to the music, and releasing energies that no longer serve you. For Nate, it’s a way of sharing high-vibrational and creative moments with a community, inviting others to join him in embracing the magic of movement and music.

🌟 What to Expect
πŸŒ€ Yoga Session ~ We begin our event with a grounding yoga session, led by experienced instructors, to help you center yourself and connect with your breath. This practice will prepare your mind and body for the dance journey ahead.

πŸŒ€ Ecstatic Dance ~ Nate will guide you on a musical journey that encourages free-form movement and self-expression. Dancing in noble silence on the dance floor, the eclectic mix of music will help you let go of inhibitions and move freely. There are no steps to learn and no right or wrong way to move – just follow your body’s natural rhythm and let the music guide you.

This practice also helps to regulate your nervous system, promoting a state of calm and relaxation. Embrace the flow, feel the music, and allow your mind and body to find harmony.

πŸŒ€ Quantum Meditation ~ After the dance, we will transition into a quantum meditation session. This meditation is designed to help you embody the person you want to be in your life. By connecting to the quantum field of limitless potential, you will visualise and align with your true career path, personal aspirations, and highest self. This transformative practice will integrate the energy of the dance and anchor your intentions into your reality.

πŸŒ€ Sound Healing ~ Immerse yourself in the soothing vibrations that harmonise mind and body. Simply relax, tune into your breath and senses, and observe your thoughts without judgment, embracing a state of mindful awareness.

πŸŒ€ Human Connection ~ Our event is not just about dancing; it’s about creating a community where everyone feels welcome and supported. We foster an inclusive environment to share our soul’s voice and support each other. During the ecstatic dance, we treat it as a moving meditation. In our circle, we maintain noble silence, allowing everyone to stay in the flow and connect deeply with themselves. At the end of the event, we come together as a Soul Tribe, forming meaningful connections that can last a lifetime.

πŸŒ€ Regular Gatherings ~ We’re excited to share that our Ecstatic Soul Journey will now be happening every month! The only exception this year is April, but we’ll be back the following month, ready to dance with you!

Mira:
Originally from the United States, Mira is a Mother, Earthkeeper, Cacaoista, Yogini and practitioner of the healing arts.
Mira passionately weaves the ancient teachings of plants with the timeless medicine of sound to help open and access higher states of consciousness. She incorporates traditions of the Kaqchikel & Tzutijil Maya of Guatemala, and the Laika of the Andes, into ceremonial space.

Mira's enthusiasm for the healing arts invites others to explore their hidden potential for healing and enlightenment within ceremony space. She welcomes the full human experience to exist while simultaneously merging with divinity. Her intention is to build bridges between worlds, co-creating sacred spaces to re-member our true nature, and let it shine forth.

The medicine of cacao 🍫
Cacao is a powerful elixr, an ancient plant medicine, that is both gentle and nurturing. We will prepare the medicine honouring the power of tradition, ritual and prayer.
There are some important preparations we recommend to support the experience.

✬ Preparations ✬

There are some important preparations we suggest to support the experience.
Cacao is best received on an empty stomach, so for this reason it’s suggested to arrive on empty stomach. Ideally, last meal should be by 3pm and caffeine should be avoided day of.
If you are taking blood pressure medication or antidepressants it’s advised to just have a couple of sips.
Alternatively, we welcome you to contact us so we can offer you an alternative tea.

There are some contraindications with ceremonial cacao, such as SSRI's (antidepressants), antipsychotics and heart medications.
Please make contact with us prior so we can adjust accordingly.
Drink plenty of Fluids so you are well hydrated!
