queer sensitivity

a 2 day somatic based workshop for LGTBQIA* people

 27./28.03.2020

ABOUT

This workshop will explore the topic of ‘queer sensitivity’. As something that empowers us in our Queerness and empathy for life, that nourishes our ability to love others and ourselves.

We will combine elements from different Bodywork methods, mindfulness, dance and positive feedback systems. We will invite the uniqueness of each and every one.

FOR WHO?

QUEER SENSITIVITY is aimed at people curious to explore and sensitise their individual Queerness through moving, sensing, talking, breathing, exploring, being - supported by a group of queer people.

How can I feel my body as a self owned and self-evident queer shelter or safe space?

Which parts of myself do I want to investigate and express more?

What qualities can my Queerness unfold? Is it powerful, light, earthy, fluid, careful, passionate, grumpy, emerald green, fragile, soft?

“Usually when I call myself queer it takes some kind of effort. I need to think. But now I can feel it in my whole body. This is me. There is no doubt about it. It is perfect this way.”

(a participant after the workshop)

QUEER SENSITIVITY

Our (queer) way of loving has not been given to us for granted. We had to live our differences, often being in conflict with what is considered as “normal”. These experiences have left their marks, sometimes painfully. But today we can use the resilience that made us overcome these difficulties as a source of energy! As queer superpowers.We can connect to the strength of our past decisions in a deeper way, be proud of what we achieved, and let our love and our queer lights shine. :)

Let`s trust ourselves and each other queerly, as a physical, deep down feeling.

Let`s enjoy to articulate our boundaries and desires more clearly.

Using our vulnerability as a resource.

SETTING // SPACE ?

The workshop holds a safe and playful space, welcoming everyone for sharing, unfolding and extending. We will mindfully respect our borders without excluding. We will have the chance to connect and support each other physically, mentally, emotionally.

The location is Zentrum Hagelberger Strasse 12 in Berlin Kreuzberg. The space is wheelchair accessible.

FACILITATORS

We (Benjamin and Jochen) identify as genderqueer, feminist, open-hearted, sensitive humans.We are able to hold and carry different dynamics and spaces. Since about five years, we work as Bodyworkers/Somatic Coaches in Berlin with the Grinberg Method and Pantarei Approach. Our approach is informed by about 15 years experience in theatre and dance.

This is the 4. time we will host a Queer Sensitivity Workshop in Berlin. We are excited to continue the journey, to learn with and from the participants.

Connecting to our authentic pride helps us to boost our vivid love;

our love helps us to heal and spread healing, to influence our lifes and to stand confident for what we want and what we dont want.
Its going to be summer and pride season as well. Wich is not particular relevant but gives another change to maybe practice our pride while connectiing with our body and heart even more, showing ourselves outside, marching, gathering with others in these days...
