INTO THE WILD
with Irma Pelikan (A)
and Grégory Chevalier (Fr/Hu)

INDIGENOUS MIND
This deep interconnectedness with nature and its phenomenons can be a both sided love relation. We can re-enter this tremendously alive and adventurous, thrilling mystical universe in which not only mind is managing but spirit enchanting the human being.
Nature loves that humanness and gives space to explore, to reclaim and to enjoy who we are.
The personal human process is mirrored honestly and beautifully in nature, with warmth of sun rays caressing your cheeks, with rotten wood in your hands ready to help you bring that unheard sound over your lips, or balancing on a fallen tree with closed eyes struggling and surrendering the adventure of not knowing the next step.
Each Authentic Movement sequence can deepen into a ritual to embody, step by step, the powers of your wildness within.
Same time, by relating this way and gaining intimate experiences with nature, you widen the perception of yourself, from being an isolated human being to being part of this lively community: your ecological self.

NATURE AUTHENTIC MOVEMENT
"In AM i meet myself. The simple, real in me. All that I am I am. What I am becoming is moving me. With no need of words to grasp. I perceive myself. You see me. Therein I am. Each moment unwritten, me."
Authentic Movement explores the relationship between a mover and a witness, being seen and seeing. It is a subtle guidance to discover who we are in the present moment through the spontaneous movement of our bodies.
It provides a safe container to deepen the relationship to oneself, to release inhibitions and to relate authentically through movement and self expression. Each Authentic Movement sequence can deepen into a ritual to embody, step by step, the powers of your wildness within.
In nature, the personal human process is supported and mirrored honestly, with warmth of sun rays caressing your cheeks, with rotten wood in your hands ready to help you bring that unheard sound over your lips, or balancing on a fallen tree with closed eyes struggling and surrendering the adventure of not knowing the next step.
