Valentines Special - Connection: Mindful Movement & Drawing (DE/ENG) 90 Min.

Connect with someone special (a partner, best friend, or simply yourself) in our special edition of Connection: Mindful Movement and Drawing. Whether you come alone or with someone close, this workshop offers a unique opportunity to explore self-awareness, relationships, and identity through creative and sensory exploration.

What to Expect: A combination of Tai Chi/Qigong-inspired exercises, intuitive gentle movement meditation, and experimental portrait drawing. This immersive experience invites you to deepen your connection with your own body and reflect on how we see ourselves and others. In a supportive and inclusive space, participants will explore both individual and shared perspectives, cultivating empathy, introspection, and meaningful connections.

Body awareness and shared space: We will start with a short Tai Chi/Chigong session to focus on our personal body awareness and space awareness, followed by mindful movement and shared group exercises.

Whispering presence and partner portraits: Through meditation, reflect on where or when you feel most connected, whether with yourself or with your special one. You’ll then take turns drawing experimental portraits of one another, inspired by this introspection.

Life-size experimental portraits: How do you see yourself, and how do others see you? What's our ideal self? If you come with someone, you’ll explore these questions together by creating life-size portraits that reflect your bond. If you come alone, you’ll dive deeper into your self-perception, creating a portrait that embodies the several dimensions of your self-awareness.

Whether you're looking to strengthen a romantic relationship, deepen a friendship, or simply enjoy a creative day by your self, this Valentine's Day edition workshop offers a unique opportunity to celebrate love, creativity and self-discovery in a supportive and inclusive environment.

All Levels Welcome. No prior knowledge of drawing or movement techniques is required - the focus is on personal discovery and shared experience, not technique.
