YOGA & CREATIVITY June 15 - 18, 2020 at Malmö Folkhögskola, South of Sweden.
Led by Liz Nilsson (artist and yoga teacher: www.liznilsson.com ) and Ingrid Banheden Breisner( writer and yoga teacher: www.banhedenbreisner.se)
This 4-day course is taking place in Malmö, south of Sweden, in the beautiful setting of Malmö FolkHögskola. (www.malmofolkhogskola.se). The school is on the outskirts of Malmö and used to be a farm. It has managed to retain the atmosphere and aesthetics of the countryside although it is in an urban setting. Each day we will start 8.30am and finish 6pm. For those that need accommodation we are happy to recommend places in the city of Malmö.
Each day begins with a yoga session where the body is woken up at its own pace. This is followed by a delicious vegetarian breakfast prepared by the chefs at the school. We will then continue with creative workshops which include creative writing and artistic expressions through colour, shape and form, all to release our inner creativity. We use unpretentious techniques such as flow drawing and simple block printing where breathing and repetition play a central role. A late lunch will be served in the afternoon and the day ends with a calmer yoga session such as Yin Yoga or Yoga Nidra. The course will give lots of opportunities to exchange ideas and experiences, and enjoy chats with common-minded fellow participants in a relaxed atmosphere.
Liz and Ingrid have combined their knowledge and developed a special pedagogy where they use yoga, meditation and creativity in words and image, colour and form. These forms of expression support and develop each other and help us to open up to what we have within us, but do not always release.
The use of a creative diary is particular to Liz and Ingrid’s way of working. The participant receives this diary at the beginning of the course, and it is used as a working document throughout the course. Afterwards, this diary is a great source of inspiration for participants to come back to, in order to continue with this method on your own.
We will guide each person individually through the week's activities. The only thing you need to bring with you to this course is an openness to experiment with both yoga and different forms of creative expression without any pressure that there will be a result to show to someone else. This course is entirely about your personal process.
We wish you a very warm welcome to days filled with yoga, meditation, mindfulness and creativity.
WHEN: 15 - 18 June 2020. ( We start Monday 15 June, 10.00 and finish Thursday 18th June 15.30.)
