Once a movement of the calligraphy brush is made, it cannot be corrected. Each stroke thus immortalizes on paper the moment and the mental attitude of the creator.

Most people know nature primarily as a place of retreat, as a space for arriving and relaxing. But what happens when we enter this place as a therapeutic space and deal with a specific issue? That is exactly what we will do. Let yourself be surprised and return with perhaps new and valuable experiences.

"The voice is the muscle of the soul," mentionded Roy Hart, founder of «The Whole Voice». This workshop is not about singing properly, but about discovering and awakening the whole voices within us - giggles and thunderous rumblings. We are experimenting our different voices in our body, by releasing our fool and awaken our voices in the body. What do the dwarves, the witches, or the queen sound like inside you? Who else inhabits you - and how do those parts sound inside you? Who is silenced and who is very loud or very quiet? Physical activities like "hopping on one leg or rolling around on the floor" change our voice and our access to these different voices. Babbling or dada word painting can be liberating on the way to our "whole Voice" and lead us away from expecting to sing "right." Body and relaxation exercises help to bring the voices within us to growl, hum, groan; a curious sensing of our resonant spaces throughout the body tunes us into the shiatsu congress in a fun way. We give our voices space and see what happens. You don't need any previous musical knowledge for this workshop, just desire and a portion of curiosity for a harmonious start into the congress.

Power place hike with Mario Binetti in the nearby Kiental surroundings. How to define, find and use a place of power for self-healing.Mario Binetti: Founder and manager of the Kientalerhof since 1985. From January 2022 handed over the management to Thomas Primas, now President of the Board, Work Study companion (place of power visits with them)...as well as responsible for the infrastructure and fundraising. President of the Board of the new non-profit foundation Kassiopeia, which financially supports various activities such as the Permaculture Farm, the Work stidy program and the Music Openair of the Kientalerhof.

Butoh happens somewhere in the meeting space between anatomy, multi-sensory orchestrated poetry and imagination. The workshop begins with a warm-up. After that we will do sensory, danced experiments to rediscover our senses and their references. So we dance, touch, smell, sing an art form that we can call Sensory Theater. A shaking out, releasing, deconstructing meaning and re-referencing. Perhaps in this way we can experience a moment of ecstasy, re-inspire ourselves and forge new relationships. People with and without previous experience in theater/dance/butoh welcome.

Open your heart and inner space for connecting with the shiatsu community

Be wrapped in the golden bubble woven by the night and resonate with the beauty inside and outside yourself. Make poetry with your body … let your hands and heart speak … 

It will be a silent experience, traveling in spacetime … we will start with a meditation going into a flow of playfully touching each other, and conclude with a final meditation. There will be no interruptions, floating for about three hours … of course you can rest … take a pause if needed, staying within the room … lets go together into this joyful and visionary fluctuation … 

‍

Patrizia and Juergen will guide you through the night … supporting with love …

Before we walked we danced, before we spoke we sang and before we wrote we drew:art is part of our essence.How do we combine the empty mind, the Zen mind, with the ‘doodle' or scribble? Scribble has so much in common with Zen philosophy: a doodle is in fact a simple, straight forward, free, spontaneous sign, a Zen sign. More than 35 years of Zen practice and the study and passion for drawing and art have led me to combine aspects in a workshop where 'Zen center' combined with a few simple, spontaneous signs drawn on a sheet of paper allow us to create something that is already inside us in a not tangible dimension yet.

Enjoy the outer and inner landscape through a guided walk together in silence. About 1.30 houres during sunset and twilight in the evening you will walk up the hang to have another view of the beauty of Kiental in a calm pace to be able to drop your attention inside, to connect the inner and the outer, to get in resonance with deeper levels of being. The perfect way to arrive and settle down.
