Opening "Open over Depressiviteit"

  • 1 Pampuslaan Amsterdam, NH, 1087 KM Niederlande (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

On 25th September I have contributed a dance at the Opening of "Open over depressiviteit" - a great photo exhibition about depression/mental illness in Amsterdam Ijburg (Pampuslaan 1). The exhibition tells stories about young people who suffered from depression - and what helped them to get out of it.

It's a really important topic for me - as it affects so many (especially also young) people for short or long periods of their lives. And I feel, the least we can do is to provide an atmosphere in our society where everyone feels safe, we really care for and listen to each other (don't overlook some people) and give when we are able to give.

I hope to spread some strength, peace and faith with my dance! (and I truly believe that dance itself has a great power in mental health and health in general!). Thanks to ease for the invitation. And Stichting Open Mind for this great initiative.

Women's circle

Women's circle

On 7th January I will join a nice collaboration with Mara, who is leading Women’s circles on her cosy boat in Haarlem. Together we will lead you through the element of “water” – in sharing, moving and just being – your personal flow is welcome!

The main purpose of those circles is to come together (as women) and share what’s on our hearts: Unfiltered, still (of course) in your own limits and integrity, not “for others” (to tell them a nice story!), but purely to speak out what’s really important for you (even the things you might find difficult to accept). Through speaking out and being witnessed by other women (who just listen to you), a great power is released … and the way is free to make changes, manifest what you want, or just feel seen and heard (which can be truly healing as well).

I will accompany this circle through some movement, poetry and whatever comes up in the moment to help you find your flow, creativity and softness.

Looking very much forward to welcome you on the boat, moving with the water :-)

The costs for the circle are 15 Euro.

Location: Haarlem (address announced as soon as you register) - there is the possibility that we might need to move to a bigger space/studio (t.b.a.)

You can register here (and Mara will send you the payment details)

Self-Care Session (online)

Self-Care Session (online)

Donation based!

As part of the well-being-community “Embodied Empowerment” I will guide a session to empower you in learning ways to let go of stress and enhance your own self care toolkit.

In this self-care-moment we will first of all make space for ourselves and our needs (that might have been neglected). Bringing softness into parts of the body that have been tensed up. And bringing more freedom and relaxation into our lives.

I invite you into a gentle session, where slow, soft movement, touch and visualization will bring you more ease, relaxation and freedom. Creating a moment for yourself where everything is allowed, everything is okay and you can drop that baggage that you might carry with you. From there you will have space to deeply nurture your heart and soul and shift the awareness from stress and worries to hope, liberation and well-being.

This is part of a “self-care-moment” series where you get the chance to experience different practitioners and their views on Self Care and Relaxation!

Further infos and registration!

Workshop - Embodiment of the Soul

Broaden your perspective, share your wisdom, explore new ways of moving 

You want to be more in touch with yourself and your body - finding ways to change (patterns), heal, just be with your body in all situations, allow and accept it? In this workshop you will find ways to no longer be scared of emotions, pain, thoughts, impulses… you can actually allow to feel them and really be there for yourself - becoming your own guide, mother, father, lover, best friend. 

This inner journey will also bring changes in the outside world, how you perceive things, how you move through the world. 

Book your spot or contact me

Practicalities: 

Come on time, but come as you are (with  everything that’s present in the moment). In a safe space you have the possibility to explore yourself in dance/movement. Gently you will be guided through different exercises - working with your imagination, body awareness, movement qualities, sensitivity - but also expressing your experience in words/writing/drawing. Ready for a colorful and playful journey to yourself?

Bring:

25 Euro for the exchange (preferable in cash)

Comfortable clothes, a journal and pen to write

“Heel dankbaar voor de fijne dans workshop die ik bij Lisa heb gedaan! Ik kwam al heel snel in contact met mijn gevoel, met mijn verlangens. Lisa zorgt voor een hele fijne sfeer en heeft een hele zachte en warme energie waar ze jou in meeneemt. Ik kon hierdoor helemaal mijn eigen flow volgen! Door te dansen en stil te staan bij wat dit met je doet kom je weer op een diepere laag bij je eigen gevoel.. heel bijzonder. Ik neem hierin voor mezelf mee dat ik alle liefde mag ontvangen die ik verdien. Lisa is echt een ontzettend zacht en liefdevolle vrouw waarbij je helemaal jezelf kan zijn 🤍” (Janneke, Amsterdam)

Workshop - Art of Touch
May

6:30 pm18:30

Workshop - Art of Touch

Some things in life you can’t see... you only feel them.
Close your eyes and imagine the softest touch, warmth flowing through your whole body, a deep relaxation... The Art of Touch starts where we let go.

In this Workshop you learn how to be fully present - empty your mind and be open for your intuition to guide you. You learn how to connect with yourself and others without words. To bring your own flavor/ intension/story and translate it into touch! A touch that allows you to nourish, to „listen“ (on a deeper level) and to give something pure – YOUR special gift.

Practical Information:

The Workshop aims to help you connect with your body and soul more deeply - through touch, movement, breathing, your creativity and intuition. The exercises are inspired by movement/ dance therapy, massaging, meditation, energy work. You will experience in that way different approaches to explore the Art of Touch. Also you will get the chance to relax on a massage table and receive the healing touch of others, explore the differences and in that way open up various sides inside yourself. At the same time you can experiment with your „language“ of touch/massaging under professional guidance.

Bring:

25 Euro for the exchange (preferable in cash)

Comfortable clothes (maybe a top that allows also to touch some skin and to massage with oil)

Book your spot or contact me.

“It was an amazing experience, a reminder of how important it is to stop and hear our body, to give the time to work in our connection with others but specially with ourselves!

Lisa is an amazing professional, very sensitive, caring, relaxed. She conducted the workshop in a very smooth and involving flow that the time flew without us noticing!

I highly recommend this experience and any other work that Lisa is part of!!”

Let the Universe do the talking... Silent Retreat Day

Let the Universe do the talking... Silent Retreat Day

Have you ever heard of "Sile(da)nce"? The good thing with dancing is, you can let the body do the talking. And believe me, there are "words"/ stories in you that you couldn't even tell. Contradictions, the most magical combinations, the sweetest poetry... if you want to have excess to this deep well of expression in you, then this workshop is definitely something for you!

I am honoured to join the Silent Retreat Day on 22nd August, on a beautiful spot in Amsterdam, with a movement/dance session! A day where you listen to yourself - all that is unspoken, wants to be heard and expressed. And you have the chance to retreat a day from talking :-)

To the event!

Prayer for Life

A new dance film is being produced: “Prayer for Life” (Gracias a la vida) - a co-creation with Djahan Manuela Mazhari Perez, Saskia de Vries, Tiberiu-Mihail Cimpoeru and Marit van der Heijden. A combination of the Indian Martial Arts Kalarippayattu and Contemporary Dance - honoring nature, life and our healing powers!

May...

my eyes see clearly

my mouth speak(s) words of wisdom

my hands feel beyond matter

my skin touch(es) the molecules dancing around me

my feet massage the ground

my spine be (is) sincere and upright (no matter what I am facing)

my joints be (are) flexible and light

my hips move gently with the beat of life

my heart shine(s) bright and brave enough to touch others

my breath heal(s) the earth.

(Poem, Lisa Frey)
