About this event

How can I feel fully alive next to you?
How can I turn resistance into an opportunity to connect?
How can I fight and care at once?

"Power-Over" is a way of using and receiving power that we experience everyday from the systemic structure of the city to the micro-ineractions in our close relationships. It's the "getting it my way" approach, the forcing, the rule, the "no matter how you feel". Exercising "Power-With" means to shift towards holding my reality adn yours at the same time, becoming acquainted with not-knowing and thus open to new, unexpected results.

🤸‍♂️ 𝗔 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆, 𝗳𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗜 𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄.
In this session, we’ll explore the tension between power and care, resistance and flow, through playful and dynamic activities. We’ll train both physical and relational intelligence, learning to trust your body’s intelligence over mental control when quick, embodied decisions are needed in constantly changing movement landscapes.

𝗪𝗲’𝗹𝗹 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼:
• Stay true to our needs while entering a relationship
• Experience power and care as complementary forces
• Transform resistance into play, dialogue, and flow
• Navigate space and dynamics with a relaxed readiness and fun
