Personal note:
The ritual of practicing alone was always an important part of my development. That's why i decided to create this course that focuses on intimacy of personal research rather than cold delivery of information. I will be practicing tasks next to you, so you can observe my process. I will be sharing my insights from the practice, so you can contemplate on a subject with me. I will be opening up my artistic flow as real as it is possible to inspire you to move, dance, dig deeper and enjoy it in full!
