Workshops

In all of my workshops, I use various tools and practices I have gathered over the years of training and practicing.

In this way of working, we choose a specific topic or area of life to go in a deep inquiry of our inner worlds with the emphasis on how that relates and manifests in our everyday experience.

My workshops are designed as an embodied experience balanced with theory and your wisdom. My approach is one of integrative nature, believing that only when we address all the levels of our existence we can bring and integrate new experiences. 

Working in one dimension of our existence often affects the other, as moving our bodies can influence our emotions and thoughts. I believe it is equally important to gain understanding, mental awareness, and consciousness in our process.

Workshops give us time and space to withdraw from our everyday tasks and obligations. This way, we can focus freely on what we want to explore in-depth.

Even though we all wish ‘better’ for ourselves, it is in our human nature that our ego, our sense of self, resists change. This is why going into deep inquiry is often a challenging process that asks of us our courage, support, kindness (and a good sense of humor).

Bearing that in mind, my emphasis in workshops is to offer a safe space for every participant to take the steps that feel supportive, empowering, and kind. That does not mean the work will not challenge you. It will. It just means me and my team of assistants are here to support your growth with expertise, support, and deep compassion.

In Movement Medicine workshops, our key modality is dance. We also use a variety of psychotherapeutic exercises, shamanic practices, and creative tools.

Whether we are on a weekend workshop, ongoing course, or retreat, we aim to integrate the experiences we have into our daily lives. We use this time to explore, express, accept, and transform, to bring in new experience and to find out practical steps of integrating new ways of being, feeling, thinking and acting. 

‘Movement Medicine with Kaya brings me deepening the most diverse aspects of human experience. The underlying feeling is the one of strong guidance within me that I can trust. Once I accept the initial unknowing, it becomes an exploration through movement and sensation. And that exploration becomes an expansion.’
