I. Summary
Elemental Power Training Course
is a practical, experiential project focused on balance and harmony in life.
From gentleness to strength. From silence to movement. From structure to flow.
The project works with movement, breath, meditation, and dance, as well as with the elements. Everything is guided through a playful and experimental approach that supports natural learning through the body.
It aims to cultivate understanding and embodied experience of the elements within us and to establish balance between two fundamental forces in a human being:
the active and the restful, the expansive and the regenerative.
Balance is understood as the ability to respond flexibly.
