Deeper Relations
movement sessions &
retreats for Couples
Because of our wisdom
we will travel far for love.
All movement is a sign of thirst,
Most speaking really says,
"I am hungry to know you."
Every desire of your body is holy;
every desire of your body is holy.
Dear one, why wait until you are dying
to discover that divine truth?
HAFIZ - Because Of Our Wisdom
This beautiful poem of Hafiz inspired me and my partner Sandra to prepare soft & easy movement sessions and retreats to guide you deeper in your relations and to increase playful intimacy with your chosen, beloved and most intimate partner.
We followed the deeper yearning on how to nurture our partnership by playing, moving, conversing deeply and dancing.

Session #3: Awaken your Eternal Child to celebrate your intimate “Peter Pania”
In this session we’ll play out innocent, youthful and imaginative movement games. We’ll lough, we’ll express vulnerability, we’ll dream big to arouse your playmate . We’ll encourage self-trust deeply enough that you’ll learn the power of play. Play is an act of trust and vulnerability and essential tool in improvisation. In the Enlightened Partnership you are not afraid of being discovered, looking silly or being vulnerable so you are able to enter the intuitive world of play. Innocent play will connect the two of you to your heart, so your motivations will rise heart-centered rather than ego centered.

Session #4: Train your Shape-shifting skills to learn wise navigation in times of crisis
In this session we’ll focus on acceptance of “here and now” reality within a relationship and awaken your mindful reactivity in critical times of shape-shifting reality, which is inescapable part of every relationship. Through gentle body contact moves, we’ll train our flexibility, expression of formlessness and ability to emphatically indulge into another skin, to completely transmute or take on another form. Skill that is so much appreciated when we need to compromise within our intimacy on daily basis. We’ll explore the dream world, the intuition and other magical realms as part of the formless. The Shape-shifter uses this tool to become whatever is necessary for the moment.
