At this immersive Dance retreat he will complement the 5 rhythms practice with aspects of yoga, meditation and somatic experiencing.His background includes sacred movements and seated meditation in the direct lineage of G.I. Gurdjieff and a dedicated yoga practice (Teacher Certified by Richard Freeman). Oliver also is a musician.

TESTIMONIALS:
“Oliver is a warmhearted facilitator who has a gift for creating beautiful spaces and holding them delicately.” - Jonas
“Liberating, flowing, wild and heart opening. Impeccable choice of music and naturally-occurring interaction with participants. Beyond the words experience!” - Olga
“I had the most powerful conscious dance experience to date with Oliver (and I've practised a lot of conscious dance). His work is so, so wonderful, and he teaches with such pure authenticity.” - Ciara
“Oliver spoiled me. I barely manage to enjoy 5 rhythms anymore as no one (to my very personal point of view) is as good as him. He has a very non violent facilitation style, that naturally and forcefullessly lowers all (or most) resistances. He supports you tuning in with yourself through initial meditation and throughout the whole dancing waves. I have never felt so deeply in touch with my authentic movement and inside state. Also, I have never had such a welcoming safe space to express it with my full body (voice and movement).So much emotions, life situations, difficulties, stuckness, self judgement compassionately and lively moved in me guided from his music in the numerous time I've dance to it. Fully enjoyable both the not led parts of his offerings and the guided ones (that you are very free to not follow, that supports me in healing this horrible resistance i built towards leader figures). Also, I perceive him as a loving, compassionate, conscious human. I could go on for hours, or you can just go and figure it out for yourself.” - Anonymous
“It is hard to put into words what I experience in the Body Waves sessions held by Oliver. It feels like coming back home to myself. Surfing and deepening into my emotions, releasing, experiencing deeply, aligning, freeing myself from conditioning and fears. Connecting with joy and life, remembering and feel alive.” - Miriam

Więcej informacji i zapisy:Poznaj Olivera – nauczyciela, który prowadzi taniec do serca i umysłu
Oliver to niezwykły nauczyciel i fascynator praktyki 5 Rytmów, który od ponad dekady inspiruje i prowadzi ludzi w odkrywaniu ich wewnętrznej mocy poprzez taniec. Swoje umiejętności doskonalił pod okiem samej założycielki metody, Gabrielle Roth, oraz jej syna, Jonathana Horana, w Nowym Jorku. To właśnie tam zdobył akredytację, a od 2014 roku nieprzerwanie dzieli się swoją pasją, pomagając uczestnikom z całego świata odnaleźć uzdrowienie, autentyczność i kreatywność.
Jego unikalne podejście do nauczania wykracza daleko poza tradycyjny taniec. Oliver łączy 5 Rytmów z elementami jogi, medytacji i doświadczeń somatycznych, tworząc przestrzeń, która wspiera zarówno ciało, jak i duszę. Jego głębokie doświadczenie obejmuje praktykę świętych ruchów G.I. Gurdżijewa, siedzącą medytację oraz nauczanie jogi w duchu Richarda Freemana.
Nie tylko taniec jest jego pasją – Oliver to także utalentowany muzyk, który potrafi nadać każdej chwili wyjątkowy rytm. Jego intuicyjny dobór muzyki i umiejętność tworzenia przestrzeni sprzyjającej głębokiej pracy z ciałem i emocjami sprawiają, że każde spotkanie z nim staje się niezapomnianym doświadczeniem.
Mieszka na styku dwóch niezwykłych miast – Berlina i Nowego Jorku – co odzwierciedla jego otwartość na różnorodność kultur i stylów życia. Z takim bagażem doświadczeń i autentycznym zaangażowaniem, Oliver tworzy warsztaty, które nie tylko uczą, ale też transformują.
Jego zajęcia są jednocześnie drogą do samopoznania i przygotowaniem do dalszej podróży w świecie 5 Rytmów – wszystkie kursy spełniają wymagania wstępne do szkolenia nauczycielskiego tej metody.
Doświadcz mocy i głębi, które Oliver wnosi do swojego nauczania – pozwól sobie na zanurzenie w tańcu, który przemienia i otwiera serca.Komentarze uczestników
