Body Prayer

“The joy of the soul is to be active in the body.” (Hildegard von Bingen) The path to the primal experience of being leads through the body, which can be an effective companion into reality beyond all words, concepts and images. Body prayer makes use of this effectiveness: presence in breathing, sitting, walking, dancing, in sounds and postures lead to the mystical experience of everyday life.

Breath healing work

Breath healing work makes use of the connection between the breath and the psyche, already known to primeval shamans. Special breathing techniques, in connection with bodywork, promote and support the release of psychological blockades or (psycho-)somatic complaints. They can also lead to various forms of spiritual awakening. Forms of breathing therapy include Holotropic Breathing and Rebirthing.

Buddha

The Sanskrit word “Buddha” means “the Awakened One” and refers to a person who has experienced Bodhi (“awakening”); in a narrower sense, “Buddha” is the honorary title of the historical Siddharta Gautama, who lived in India in the middle of the first millennium before Christ. “Awakening” means the breakthrough to the experience of one’s own true being and at the same time the true being of all creation. This experience is felt as absolute liberation, with it ends the erroneous impression that one’s own life is karmically entangled, and the eternal cycle of life and death (samsara) is suspended. The consequences of awakening are wisdom and compassion.

Burnout Prophylaxis

Burnout syndrome is a complex of symptoms that can be described as a state of exhaustion in the whole person, physically, emotionally, psychologically and mentally. It occurs as a result of negative stress. The burnout prophylaxis aims to prevent this stress by effective ways of self-control. A central role is played by the ability to perceive oneself and the context in which one is existing in order to discover and develop effective alternatives. This is accompanied by a strengthening of self-healing powers.

Butoh

The Japanese word “Butoh” means “dance” and refers to a contemporary Japanese dance theater form that emerged after the Second World War and whose roots lie in the expressive dance of the 1920s. The body is usually made up in white body paint and is largely naked. Butoh seeks the artistic expression of one’s own sensibility and sees itself as cross-cultural. It is the discovery of the own body as a medium of expression.
