Receptive Playground
Receptive Playground project will provide for a period of 8 months regular sessions of dance movement therapies and two symposia with the topic of mental health.
Regular dance therapy
The continuity of our dance workshops will allow to work in depth with the problems that cause pressures, fatigue, pain and provide tools and ways to dissolve them.
Dance and art of movement serve as a therapeutic tool for comprehensive personality integration. It also unites what is incompatible in us. It releases authentic expression in us and transforms pain into beauty. It helps us grow emotionally and nourish ourselves emotionally. As such a person is not a burden for the family or for society.
It is a holistic therapy because it includes the body, mind, emotions and the human spirit and subsequently allows the expression of their fusion.
By listening to the whole range of sensations, we will be in direct contact with our body through the awaking in the body instead of analysis. Training of the awareness and attention will allow us to be with (notice) what is fresh-real. We will move from thinking about the experience to experiencing it directly. This will directly connect us with vitality and instincts and awaken curiosity. Awakened curiosity is a symptom of the retreat of mental problems and depression. Dance therapy schedule
Who do we welcome?
People with mental health problems:
For those who struggle with mental health issues such as emotional exhaustion, burnout, depression, psychosomatic problems, work stress, dissatisfaction with themselves, as well as the disorders of the majority of the population today (adhd, ocd, autism), dance can be an effective tool for improving mood, reducing stress and increasing self-confidence. Our workshops will provide a safe and supportive environment where participants can engage in physical activity, connect with others and work through their emotional issues through movement.
Individuals who like to move:
For those who simply like to move and want to try something new, our dance workshops offer a fun and dynamic way to move and express yourself. Workshops are accessible and enjoyable for all experience levels.
Individuals seeking community:
For those who feel lonely and seek community, our workshops provide a supportive and inclusive environment. Here, participants can connect with other people who share a similar passion for dance.
Individuals seeking to improve focus and concentration:
Dance requires focus, concentration and coordination and thus improves cognitive abilities.
Professionals:
Our workshops are also open to professionals such as therapists and psychologists who want to incorporate dance into their practice. For these people, our workshops will provide the space to learn new techniques and gain a deeper understanding of how dance can be used to support mental, emotional and physical well-being.
The motivation is to develop sensitivity
We will stimulate creative thinking and feeling, deepen human relationships through the liberation of authentic expression. We offer creative movement for everyone - not just for the able-bodied.
Every person needs the feeling of being seen and heard in order to be in harmony with themselves and their surroundings. Creative movement will allow you to deal with your own pain and move towards pleasure, revitalizing yourself. It frees us from the feeling of "I'm not good enough" and "I'm not seen". It activates joy in the body, which is then automatically shared with others.
Dance and creativity liberates a person from being trapped in time and puts him back in touch with his body and with that, which transcends him and nourishes him spiritually.
Mental health symposium

Our goal is to develop perception and deepen the connection between people. To provoke an understanding of the principle of duality in us, which serves our healthy development. Furthermore, liberation of movement, which is also the gateway to creativity. More about symposia
