Dance and movement retreat

For the second time, Lars is starting a retreat with the movement art Amerta-movement in a very special place: In Sardinia, in the village of Ovilo, where Angela Göser has created the perfect place for this work.

This fall: six days await you:

Amerta Movement is an approach to movement initiated by the Indonesian movement artist Suprapto Suryodarmo.

Rooted in Javanese philosophy and meditation, Amerta Movement is both improvisation in context and a movement practice that cultivates a specific attitude towards life. Amerta Movement is a path of receptivity and awareness. Amerta Movement

integrates all forms of movement (dance, fight, everyday life,...) and leads them back to their essential power current;

thus becoming an ongoing creative process.

The focus is always on the question: "What am I doing right now?"

This is how you get to the topics that move you the most.

This is a basic requirement for every creative person who is searching for their own form of expression and inner direction.

Everything is possible. Any expression, gestural, mimic, acoustic. The theme focuses and gives form to the expression.

The workshop is aimed at people of all ages who are interested in dance/movement, healing and spirituality. But also "theater people", dancers, shamans, physiotherapists, psychologists, freelance artists etc. and people who work professionally in these fields are very welcome.

Sardinia in October is like summer on the Baltic Sea, except that everything dances in this landscape, the huge rock formations and trees, the wind, the sea and us in the middle of it all.

We want to move / dance, experience culture and get to know the sacred springs.

You will be able to choose between two accommodation options during your stay:

At Angela's, a beautiful rustico in traditional Sardinian style awaits you. It offers one room with two beds and one room with a double bed. There is also a sofa in the kitchen. The house also has a beautiful veranda and a well-equipped kitchen. It is only 2 km from the venue. The use of a rental car at reasonable rates is worthwhile, starting at just 7 euros per day including fully comprehensive insurance.
For bookings beyond the retreat period, you should contact the provider directly. This has the advantage that the accommodation can be arranged if you want to stay longer. You always book directly with the provider.

Alternatively, you can opt for B&B Li Petri accommodation. Here you can expect a simple and clean single room. All rooms are located next to each other and have a shared terrace. The furnishings are traditionally rustic and very well-kept. Here, too, you should contact the provider directly if you wish to book beyond the retreat period in order to secure accommodation if you would like to stay longer. You always book directly with the provider.

Choose what suits your needs best!

You will be well looked after during your stay!

In the morning, our chef will provide you with everything you need. You are welcome to express your wishes. For those who like to be undisturbed in the morning, we will take care of you individually.

At lunchtime there is a light meal with salad, soup and cheese so that you are not too heavy after the break.

In the evening, there will be a warm meal prepared by our chef that also meets your wishes.

We have brought a cook with us who will cater to your needs.

Amerta Movement is an art of movement developed by Suprapto Suryodarmo that aims to create a unique connection between body, mind and soul. It combines elements from various movement traditions as well as spiritual and artistic aspects. At its heart is the idea of freedom from concepts and forms, with participants exploring their own authentic movements

.

The practice promotes presence, authenticity, flexibility, mindfulness, vitality, contact and sharing
. It integrates elements of performance, dance improvisation, meditation, shamanism, self-awareness and healing. Amerta Movement is practiced in a variety of settings, from sacred places to public spaces

.

A typical day of an Amerta Movement retreat might look like this:

10:00 am: Meeting and introduction

10:30 am: Start of the movement phase

12:30 p.m.: Lunch break and reflection

14:00: In-depth discussion of individual topics

16:30: Continuation of the activities

18:30: Dinner together and exchange of ideas

The landscape of Olvio in Sardinia offers a particularly inspiring environment for practicing Amerta Movement
. This practice is aimed at all those who strive for more life energy, vitality and mobility and who wish to deepen their awareness.

I can pick the participants up at Olbia airport at 2 pm and also in the evening between 7 and 8 pm and bring them to Aquileda. This flexibility allows participants to arrive comfortably, depending on their arrival time. Alternatively, participants can also hire a car at favorable conditions to be independent. As buses do not run, hiring a rental car or my personal pick-up is the best option for participants to get to their destination.
