BodyWise 10.- 12.11.2023

When I am receiving I am thinking about giving back.

I trust myself to voice my desires and boundaries.

I don´t speak so as not to ruin the “good moment”.

I am worried about crossing their boundaries.

I am trying very hard to make myself like it.

I am trying very hard to make them like it.

I give just what I really want and not more.

I feel I am giving more than receiving.

I feel my desires and boundaries.

I should know what they want.

I give in order to receive.

What patterns have we developed around our sexuality?

How do they affect our lives?

What would we like to change in this realm?

Czech Republic

South Bohemia

Vrábsko

JurtCamp

What to expect:

Discussions of the social constructs related to the topic. Sharing of our thoughts and stories. In pairs, small groups and in a big circle.

Activities to experience how what we think influences what we feel.

Reflection will help us to recognize and name what remains under the surface. Where do our thoughts come from? What are the patterns we keep repeating?

Structured parts will be balanced by intuitive movement + touch practice of Contact Improvisation. Facilitated by CI instructor.

The evenings will be brought life with music and sounds from a local musician Hynek Opolecký.

Nourishing food by local chef cook Jitka Šmejkalová. (vegan, zerowaste, delicious)

Among yurts and lakes,

within your boundaries.

Cloud shooting:

None of the activities will involve sexual touch/ interactions. And what that actually means will also be discussed. (We might experience sexual arousal, as we always might), but we will not follow and develop it as part of the workshop.)

In all the activities you will be encouraged to set up your own boundaries. It will always be possible to take part as an observer and join later when you feel ready.

Not many details are given here about the program since being surprised, unable to prepare and calculate are important aspects of the whole experience.

We will not go to the therapeutic depths. It’s completely natural that strong emotions will arise during the weekend. They are welcomed and space will be held for expressing them. There will also be a person available to whom you can speak during the whole weekend. However, we don’t have capacity to deal with unresolved traumatic issues. (if unsure about this point, contact me on the email given below).

There is no need to have an experience with Contact Improvisation or dance. On the contrary, no experience can open more space for intuition.

All genders and sexual orientations are welcome.

Popis

About the organizer:

My name is Masha. You would usually see me singing songs expressively or sitting silently at one spot for a very long time.

I do care a great deal about how things really are.

I noticed there are obstacles for me to experience and really feel the touch. The touch can be the same but I could be experiencing it very differently. How come? It is my ability, or rather capacity to feel the pleasure.

I started noticing the forces that shape the experience in me.

One of them, the social constructs. Ideas, stereotypes, taboos. All the stories around me that tell me what sex is, what sex is not, how it should be done, how it should feel, how we communicate about it, what things we say and what we don´t say at all, what is considered wrong, what right, natural, dirty, erotic, beautiful, not fitting for a wo/man, fitting for a wo/man, which touch signifies what kind of relationship. And many more.

Another one, my relationship to myself. Am I able to ask for what I want? And then receive it? Or even take it? Can I speak up and express my desires, needs, worries? Do I just go along with whatever is happening to me as “good enough”? Do I pretend arousal to make things “smoother”? Do I give more than I want? Can I handle refusal and then again open myself to it? Do I know what I want? What are the feelings preventing me to feel? Shame, guilt, pain, disconnection? How much pleasure can I feel? Am I worth it?

And then, some emotions can come from places which I don´t even know. If something strong shows up do I allow myself to be really intimate? Intimate meaning: Am I able to open up and let myself be seen with the deepest fears? And accept without judging the other person with all their fears?

Some of these bubbles can be burst open by being consciously recognized for what they are, some need to be touched, touched repeatedly. Some might need even deeper work. At the workshop we will do the recognizing and touching part. We will not go to the therapeutic depths of the theme.

All the questions above led me to the place where I am now: I talk to teenagers at schools about sex, consent and relationships within the workshop Když to chce (“If he/she wants it”). I keep learning about body and the ways we experience it. Starting with yoga trainings and studying Pelvic floor area I continued to explore the topic of sexuality in tantric training with Alan Lowen. Currently I am participating in the enrollment program by Moje tělo je moje dealing with the topic of body shaming.

The workshop BodyWise is for me another step in this direction and an opportunity to ask the questions.
