In CI workshops, festivals, or jams, something remarkable often happens: personal themes – sometimes tender, sometimes deeply challenging – rise to the surface through the dance. Yet rarely is there space to truly pause, to meet them with presence and care.

This workshop offers that space. Together, we will take time to slow down, to gently explore, and to reflect on the experiences that emerge in movement. What arises is often familiar – echoes of old patterns, emotions long carried – now returning to be seen, softened, and transformed.

This gathering is for those with prior CI experience who recognize these moments in themselves and who feel the call to use Contact Improvisation not only as dance, but as a path of growth: to soften what has been rigid, to invite flexibility, and to open into new ways of being.

This is not a technical workshop. Alongside the dance, we will bring in dialogue and draw on the wisdom of schema therapy – weaving conversation and movement to deepen awareness and expand choice. Together, we will experiment with fresh possibilities, soften habitual responses, and nurture resilience and vitality.

Here, Contact Improvisation and dialogue flow as partners – each holding equal space, each supporting the other – creating a field for transformation, connection, and personal growth.
