Discover your real powers – Men Power workshop – 29.2 – 3.3 – 2024

We invite you to the Men Power workshop in the Camino Art House, Gran Canaria! This workshop is intended only for men.

The intention of the workshop is to realize the different forms, qualities and manifestations of male powers (from tenderness to strength, from vulnerability to courage) and support them in a safe atmosphere of a men’s group.

The main content of the workshop will be sharing in a circle with other men from heart to heart, practicing Playfight and exercises supporting men archetypes (King, Warrior, Magician, Lover).

Playfight is a playground where we explore the breadth of our emotions, behavior and communication. The main tools are playful wrestling and movement games and verbal reflection.

In this workshop, we will create a safe and honest atmosphere where we can open up and transform our personal themes.

The workshop is for you if you want to:
– connect with other men in a deep way
– get in touch with your emotions through the body
– pursue your goal with courage and respect
– build authentic relationships through honest communication
– set your boundaries in a healthy way

CI is a dance form where the dancers dialogue spontaneously connecting through touch, sharing weight, rolls, momentum, gravity, jumps, lifts and falls. It’s about trust and listening to oneself, the others and the space.

“Contact Improvisation is an open-ended exploration of the kinaesthetic possibilities of bodies moving through contact. Sometimes wild and athletic, sometimes quiet and meditative, it is a form open to all bodies and enquiring minds.” – Ray Chung

Campsite Retreat – Happiness is just a breath away!

Are you looking for a meaningful program for the Easter holiday? Don’t look any further! You are in exactly the right place…!

PROGRAMME

We are too much in love with the eternal here and now to force us and you into a fixed timeframe. Yet we can guarantee that our hourly schedule will be filled with a mix or blend of the following elements – according to the needs of the participants and the air of the day and the surrounding. All sessions take place either in our Workshop Cave or in the garden and on the land.

Our daily schedule could look like this:

When & where

28.3. Thursday
19.00h – 21.00h Get together bonfire place or roof terrace
29.3. Friday
09.30h – 13.00h (with a short break in between) and 15.30h – 18.30h
30.3. Saturday
09.30h – 13.00h (with a short break in between) and 15.30h – 18.30h

01.4. Monday
09.00h – 11.00h Get together rooftop or the main workshop places
Eventual evening sessions after dinner according to the needs of the group in
Dragon Cave or at the rooftop.

What & how

Bodywork – every day we start with a specially designed set of bodywork on the roof terrace, the garden or the cave. This set is specially designed to get you out of your head and into your senses and contains elements of neo-reichian Bioenergetics, ARICA, Yoga, Trager-Bodywork, classical ballet, mixed martial arts and modern dance theatre routines.

Brainwork – everyday we investigate in one way or the other your mental concepts like your expectations and hope- profile, anxiety-profile, inherited scripts, self-sabotage routines, distraction/escapism/avoidance tricks as well as the various ways of your self-motivation profile.

Breathwork – the blessings of Krya-Yoga and Kundalini-Yoga laid the groundwork for modern ways of working with the breath. We use controlled heavy breathing to flood the organism daily. We use Pranayama Breathing to win back control over your breath as well as moderate screaming and shouting to free the full range of your voice and general expressiveness.

Artwork – Some spots of the soul can hardly be reached by language or work with the body, but very good by uncontrolled creative expressiveness. We use the breathtaking surrounding nature for various land art methods like arranging elements, scratching techniques, natural colouring and combining misfits.

Integration – As we think that your experiences should show lasting effects and real change of behaviour, every set of experiential and expressive methods will be followed by acts of reflection. Creative writing, talking, storytelling and meaningful
sharing in the group. Words in one or the other way, as words still are the best way of mental conservation. We will also use enhanced wording techniques like neuro-nudging – hourly repeated customised wordings with eye/ear contact as well as “useful prayers” combinations of customised questions and wishes to be repeatedly said or sung.

Storytelling – gathering of the curious nomads

In old ages, before photos, radio or electricity people gathered in a warm place when ancient vagabonds returned from their journeys to listen to their stories.

storytelling
Stories about never seen lands, wars, mystic animals, new solutions, surprising weather conditions, adventures and knowledge that these travellers have learnt on their trips. The reason of the journeys might have been similar to the ones we have today: seeking for new opportunities, exploring untouched places, learning about the world, bringing messages to far away places, looking for new home, fulfilling an adventurous heart wishes, searching for remedies, gods, survival tools, or hoping to find connections to other humans.

In these program series we will invite travellers who are happy to share their meaningful stories, so we can learn and get to know about places and happenings that we have never known before. We will listen and ask questions, talk and discuss about all the stories that are ready to be shared.

Our aspiration is to challenge ourselves and learn from each others without the sparks of instagram photos and filters. Without the „branding” of a nomad influancer. Lets try to do the old-fashioned way of communication: storytelling.

Our first gathering will be on
12th November, 2024
Camino Art House

After the storytelling we invite you for a simple vegan dinner and some drinks

Gathering of travellers

Rage Club – Access the power of your inner strength

Rage? Anger? Why should I get voluntarily in touch with those negative seen feelings?

Rage Club
When hearing of them, most people think of aggression, violence, arguments and destruction. Well… with rage you can either built or destroy a house. Lots of us have known rage as an emotion against someone or something which can be very painful.

Others have learned to repress this feeling and therefore can not use it for it´s purposes. Anger is an innate life force, belonging naturally to your body. If you learn to use it consciously, it can be your superpower and you will be able to:

– say clearly YES, NO and STOP
– set boundaries: I want this! I don´t want this!
– step out of your comfort zone
– begin and stop things or get them done
– take a stand for yourself and speak up no matter what is wanted from you
– get clarity

Does that sound like something you want to experience?

Then be there with us and feel your own energy running through your body. Come and do experiments in a powerful place of nature and protected by a team.

SCHEDULE:
9th April, 2022
11:00-13:30 Introduction to feelings. Work, connect with your anger!

13:30-14:30 Lunch

14:30-17:00 Experiments of the conscious use of anger.

PRICE:
15-20 € – lunch is included. Please choose the price that fits for you the best!

PLACE:
Camino Art House, Vega de San Mateo

Our instructor:
Carola Brauner after being a high school teacher for many years, Carola discovered the immense power of feelings in the concept of Possibility Management. She got fascinated right away, because she learnt that there are so much more important topics than normal school subjects. After attending many trainings and courses of Possibility Management, Carola started to deliver her own trainings in order to empower people in their personal growth. She especially likes to deliver rage clubs, because rage is the main feeling to make any kind of change in life.

We will move and dance in the safety and beauty of the valley, connecting to ourselves, and to our surroundings. In Authentic Movement we move with our eyes closed, always taken care of by a partner, and let our truest dance express itself without pressure, without going after it, it appears when we sink into ourselves.
Nature will always hold us with her earthy smells, poetry, silence, sounds and open arms. Welcome to a different dance, your truest dance, to a deep connection with nature and therefore: yourself. No previous experience nor being a dancer necessary.
