“Life begins at the end of your comfort zone”

What to expect?

FEELING OPEN & FREE is about looking how we hold, avoid or suppress feelings and how to learn to express and release them, in order to feel more open and free.

During this workshop we will do group and couple exercises and sharings to dive deeper into understanding ourselves, using the other or the group as a support.

And, let’s liberate ourselves from our constrictions with the help of practical exercises like bio-energetics, shaking, sounding and movement!

Feeling Open and Free! (Oct 2018)
Feeling Open & Free! (Jul 2019)

 

What is Bioenergetics?

Bioenergetics involves body movements, simple postures, sound-making and breathing exercises of different intensity, to reduce stress and address difficult emotions and create space in the body. This is helping the process of grounding; the energy flows to the feet, the legs and the pelvic area, bringing you in contact with your natural vitality.  Watching this video will give you an idea.

What is shaking?

Shaking the body in a spontaneous and loose way and making non-sense sounds at the same time (gibberish) helps to release tensions in the body-mind, unblock emotions, experience a sense of aliveness and freedom and not take yourself sooooo seriously! Watching this video will give you an idea

Facilitators

Emotional Release Team: Tessa Curti-Nagtegaal (Holistic Coach) & Somesh Valentino Curti (Body-oriented psychologist). They are working together since 10 years supporting people to connect with their body and emotions to feel more open and happy.

For Tessa, Feeling OPEN & FREE means: “being able to express yourself with your voice, your body and your being!”

For Somesh, Feeling OPEN & FREE means: “A sense of easiness in my body, an empty mind and a body which is alive. From there I can relate with the world in a way in which I don’t feel scared or overwhelmed”
