"The
structure is so clear, with the visual reminder of the mandala. However
complicated life might seem, the simplicity of the dance through the tree
of life, the four chambers of the heart, the four elements and the path
of life, past, present and future, intentions and incantations, makes it
all become more manageable. Susannah and Ya’Acov lead sensitively
in speech, movement and choice of music, with such clarity, enthusiasm and
sense of fun; their experience and love for this work really shows."
Katherine McKenzie, Pilates and Dance Teacher
"I really
appreciated the attention to detail in creating a safe, welcoming and spiritual
space for us all - the cleansing incense/sage, the subtle lighting, room
temperature control, and simply stunning music. As facilitators I found
Susannah and Ya’Acov to be highly skilled, compassionate, supportive
and great fun. I loved the instruction we received from them and the invitations/reminders
to breathe deeper into the process. The exercises, visualisations and meditations
were easy to follow, engaging, thoroughly enjoyable, and enabled me to drop
deeper into my body as the course progressed. When I was challenged by overwhelming
emotions that needed to surface I felt tremendous gratitude for the fact
that I was supported, affirmed and assisted in processing them fully. I
appreciated the time that was spent on ‘Integration’ to ground
our experiences in a practical way so that we could continue the process
once the course finished. Most importantly for me is that Susannah and Ya’Acov
embody, role model, and are evidently completely passionate about the work
they facilitate. " Serena Atkinson, Full time Mother
"The
medicine works! I received inspiration and creative power to deal with a
very challenging situation which awaited my return home. The result is turning
out unbelievably different from anything I experienced in my life up to
now. I loved the harnessing of the conscious mind as one of our key resources
in directing where we are putting our attention." Kat Forrester,
Events Organiser
"A breath
of fresh air to me as newcomer! Great to be 'allowed' to dance and follow
our inner spirit freely without judgement. The contents of the course were
skilfully arranged, and beautifully guided by Ya'Acov and Susannah. The
music was great and moved me to the core." Nadia Smith de Nekludoff,
Tui Na & Qigong / Cranio-Sacral Practitioner
"Just
to say a big thankyou for a truly great workshop. I have come home
feeling deeply replenished by it; expanded, lighter, absolutely recharged!
Thankyou particularly for all your words of wisdom both to myself directly
and to the group and moments of feeling truly seen - which kind of matters. I
feel good, in love with life, blessed, grateful and looking forward to a
pretty intense week. Iona Sellars, 5 Rhythms Teacher
"I would
like to thank all who contributed to this workshop I feel great respect
and gratitude especially towards Ya'Acov & Susannah - together they
really are a very strong team with complementary qualities (very impressive)."Stefan
Willener, Caretaker & Workshop Leader
"Thank you both so much for the
past 5 days, they are 5 of the most productive days, for myself personally,
I have spent in a long time. I am endlessly impressed by your extraordinary
ability and willingness to grow and evolve, and by your courage in taking
the steps necessary to do this. I have the deepest respect and admiration
for you both in this - 'hats off'. My experience in Movement Medicine was
that your work has evolved and become even more powerful. The use of my
mind's integration into my dance was a very simple and vital tool. Instead
of trying to put a part of myself aside so I could 'get on' with the dancing
I was able to integrate it and use it to inform and give focus to both my
movement and my emotional body. It was like adding another body part
and I found there was a dance that went on between my mind, my body and
my heart." Rosie Perks, Creative Design Director
