IDEAL FOR: All levels including beginners
A three-hour workshop with Nicolás. During this online retreat we gather to sample some of the core Breath-Body-Mind practices as developed by Dr Richard P. Brown and Dr. Patricia Gerbarg. These include shaking, painting the waterfall (from Master Robert Peng), and heart breath. These group exercises are interspersed with others to be carried out in pairs in breakout rooms, and focused on embodied and somatic approaches honoring deep listening and deep sharing. The session concludes with a top-down body scan, followed by coherent breathing. We will have the opportunity to ask questions, to voice thoughts and impressions about our experiences and to derive the potentials of the releasing, energizing, relaxing and calming sequences to which we will be introduced. This class is also a good springboard for those of us who would like to pursue Breath-Body-Mind trainings more in-depth.
