"I am not sure that I know of words in any language that can convey the power of the shift I have experienced and am living … I have come away feeling incredibly peaceful, empowered, more sure-footed than ever, trusting of my own instincts and clear in my intention ... in love with life."
Andrew Mills, Drummer and Nia teacher
"I found my heart, body and mind become one and cried for joy for being who I am."
Megumi Miyata, Flamenco Dancing Teacher
"An intense movement and dance based workshop to go through the important life cycles, from birth to death. You can let go of things which no longer serve you and add more colours to your life journey."
Nicole Rohner, Switzerland
"I found
the course very powerful, an amazingly deep exploration of life in great
company. I loved the weaving in of stories, singing, poetry, memories, drawing,
writing and play as well as the movement. I was deeply moved by the softening
and love that grew within the group, and in myself, during our time together."
Jenny Heaton - Homeopath, massage practitioner, musician
"It
felt clear and strong and so well held and supported – the combination
of attention to detail, structure, direction and of course humour was beautiful."
Angie Kotler - Director of Schools Linking Network
"Intiation
has been one of the most strengthening courses I have been to .... The work
was deeply healing. Whenever I came to some painful, dark places inside
me, through the tools we were using there was immeditely a connection to
my light at the very same place. So any dark places from my past became
immediately transformed into the source of light. This was amazingly direct
at the course and it has brought a lot of lightness and trust into my life
since then." Katerina
Stejskalova Therapist, Homeopath
"The
course was tremendously challenging, breathtakingly beautiful, at times
almost impossible to work with and yet at other times amazingly simple.
My heart had never felt so open, (and now remains more open than it ever
has been before.) ." David Mendelsohn - Housing Management
"It
has been a powerful and cathartic experience. I could draw the map of the
sorrow that was written on my body, I could feel every cell screaming. I
found amazing the wisdom of the body. I embraced the pain with compassion
and without judgement and I felt blessed and full of gratitude.
I went through deep pain and pleasure and I felt the privilege of been part
of something that belongs to human being since Old times and that our society
lost.
I worked in an environment that was safe and supportive and that helped
my to recognize my strength and my fragility. I could thank my inner wisdom
and intuition that kept me alive also in the most desperate moments of my
life, when I didn’t want to live anymore. I loved the details- and
the care that Ya’Acov, Susannah and the other members of the crew
have chosen for each moment, ceremony and ritual." Laura Valenti
- Physical Theatre Student/Performer
"Loved
it; the dancing, the music, the meditations, the deep rooted connections,
the boat, the journey, the nourishment (especially the food), the grounded-ness,
the songs, the safety, the beauty and tenderness, the people, the alters,
the surprises, the guidance and all the help. I am honoured to be part of
this tribe of movement medicine movers, and am deeply grateful to have found
teachers, and their gift of work, that I truly respect and love." Hilary
Chadwick Lecturer/Architect
"My
experience of this course is deep. I loved it. I found the frame you work
in very professional, clear, loving. Your energy management is of high quality.
So is your time management. Playful is also a quality I would add."
Patrice Nieuwenhuijs coach/trainer
"I am
speechless, aware that words can t describe riches of adventures that I
had during the workshop. I felt invited and supported to come and privileged
to participate in Initiation." Nevenka Miklenicina Fine Arts
Teachers
"It
is like seeing the totality of your life in a week. How it is not the separate
times and people in life that makes up the journey but it is more how they
affect each other. And it has somehow changed on how I relate in relations
in all levels, towards myself, family, friends and strangers. I’m
daring to be more honest." Nina Paludan-Müller Gotved movement
teacher - Denmark
"Going
through this journey I gained a new perception of my past, present and future,
moving through each cycle of my life with attention and awareness made the
“grey-zones” come to life; accepting these grey parts, casting
light of awareness on them, initiated transformation and released many of
my pains, sorrows and sufferings. Under my grey-zones I re-discovered the
hidden joyous and nourishing parts of my life. I feel space and lightness
around me. The stories of my fellow travellers were valuable mirrors on
this journey, they let my understanding and humbleness grow.henomenal- utterly
transformative." Agner Madaras International Health Advisor
Danish Red Cross
Phenomenal-
utterly transformative. Almost certainly the most deeply enriching ten days
I have ever spent. The intensity and focus of the work was awesome, as was
the strong and sensitive space that was held for us. Magic. Caroline
Levonian
"I think
it’s really a workshop that invites “to be” and not “to
do”. The work in the sub-groups of 4 was very precious and necessary
to feel supported and to put words on the process. We were also several
invited to witness other dancers and to say each time again “yes”
and really see the other person. This was a part of the global invitation
to an enormous awareness for myself and for the others. Susannah and Ya’Cov
created really a place to feel the form and the power of our soul and to
dance it in contact with all the elements around us.
The new experience of “fusion” was a very strong and delightful
experience for me. I felt really different than ever before.
I never had the feeling to be in a rush or overwhelmed with to much information,
the rhythm was good and I respected my need to rest in the evening." Greta Leire, social worker in a mental health care
centre
