Een workshop over gronden & creatieve expressie

De grond is niet van ons; wij zijn van de grond, een korreltje in een verzameling van fysieke elementen die door ieder wezen anders worden waargenomen. - Nikki Dekker

Laten we samen onze relatie tot de grond verkennen. Wat speelt zich allemaal af onder onze voeten? Wat horen we, voelen we, ruiken we? Wat gebeurt er wanneer we aarden?

We gaan die vragen verkennen in drie fasen. Reflectie - beweging - (creatieve) expressie. We keren in onszelf en dan weer naar buiten, met aandacht en liefde voor onze inherente speelsheid en dierlijkheid.

Voor wie? Zij die rust en inspiratie (willen) vinden in het aarden. Iedereen die nieuwsgierig is naar het leven onder de oppervlakte.

Meebrengen: blinddoek (vrijblijvend); jouw vertrouwde knutsel-, teken-, verf-, … spullen

Max aantal deelnemers: 10 (Deze workshop heeft momenteel zijn maximum aantal deelnemers bereikt.)

In this workshop people will be invited to share something about their trans body and relationship to it. It will be a space where people can be naked or maybe just take off a sock or two. There is no expectation to take of any clothing at all. Having run spaces like this in the past, the positive impact has been great to see. People have understood their body in a new way and been able to see their own experiences and questions reflected in others. It's a way of showing honest representation of trans bodies we still miss in society.

Bring along: a towel or other item you can sit on so we don't have bare bums on the seating!

Max amount of participants: 10

14:30 - 15:30

Content over form // somatic yoga as an invitation to self-knowledge

In this workshop, we start from a simple question: What if you let your body guide you?

We live in a society that is mostly focused on form. How things look, how things “should” be, how we are “supposed” to move or exist. What if we choose content instead? The ingredient, the inner movement. What is truly happening inside your body, what wants to be felt?

In this session, we invite you to connect with your physical intelligence. To listen to your own boundaries, your own feel-good, your own intuition. We create a space together where you can get more familiar with what feels true for you: where you might want to stretch a little more, where you might be pushing unnecessarily, and where it can simply be soft and enough.

Somatic yoga offers you skills and freedom to move in ways that really suit you, instead of trying to fit fixed forms or expectations. Coming from a background as an Ashtanga yogi, I know how rigid practice can be. Somatic yoga invites you to let go of these shapes and move at your own rhythm as an echo, or alliteration, to this society.

This workshop is an invitation to become curious about yourself. To get to know your own body as a place of knowledge, joy, and wisdom.

Bring along: yoga mat and other props to make you feel comfortable, bottle of water.

Consent is so much more than just saying yes and no to things. It begins one step earlier: knowing what you want and don't want! How does (not) wanting something feel in your body? In this gentle, body-based workshop, we explore how to recognize and reconnect with our inner ‘yes’ and ‘no’. Many of us — especially those in queer and marginalized communities — have been taught to override our instincts and ignore our body’s signals.

Here we will try and reconnect with the communication style of our bodies. Through guided reflection and somatic exercises, we’ll begin to tune in to the subtle ways our bodies communicate what feels right or wrong for us. You'll be invited to notice sensations, emotions, images, or colors that arise in response to certain stimuli — and to explore your personal boundaries in a safe, affirming space. We will slow down to feel and build a better connection with ourselves.

This workshop is trauma-informed, queer-centered, and consent-based. Everything is an invitation — nothing is mandatory. You are welcome exactly as you are.

No previous experience with somatic work needed.

Bring along: yoga mat or something to sit on comfortably, journal or notebook if you have one, pen, object that has important value for you, bottle of water.

Max amount of participants: 12

We kennen allemaal discriminatie, maar wat kwalificeert het recht als discriminatie? En wanneer spreken we van intersectionele discriminatie?

In deze workshop maak je kennis met de basisbegrippen van onze Belgische anti-discriminatiewetgeving. Aan de hand van diverse voorbeelden en casussen leer je de verschillende vormen van discriminatie en discriminatiegronden herkennen en onderscheiden. Vervolgens gaan we dieper in op intersectionele theorie en - discriminatie. Wat is het, waar komt het vandaan en hoe kwalificeert het Belgische recht dit? Je komt het allemaal te weten in deze workshop!

Meenemen: pen en papier.
