Events @ CONOS
Between Earth & Sky
Friday 30th October, 18:00 - 21:00
Experience meditation in a completely different way.
This is a guided movement meditation to LIVE music. With Ashkan ONP playing instruments from Persia and words from Vivian Choi, sound, words, rhythms and beats will take you through a series of landscapes. You will explore the language of the body through the inspiration of live, improvised music and the spoken word.
It is a journey, through body memory, to awaken intuitive movement, focusing it into pure presence and deep listening. To give space to the guidance of your body and initiate the fall of walls that may have been built up against trusting yourself.
Everything is done with eyes closed.
If you find this difficult, you should bring a scarf / sleeping mask that you can use to cover your eyes.
How you look and your ability to see, is irrelevant.
This practice is about feeling, moving, listening inwards. The workings of the mind can therefore be silenced during the process.
The entire journey will be facilitated, a guided meditation. We begin and end lying down. To close off the session, we have the time where anyone who wants to share anything from their experience will have the space to speak. This is not mandatory.
No dance or movement experience necessary.
Sometimes the body understands what the mind can not.

Breathwork & Bioenergetics
Friday 27th November, 17:00 - 20:00
Feeling tired or stressed out?
Curious to explore deeper dimensions of your body and mind?
Looking to unleash more of your creative potential?
The powerful techniques of Breathwork and Bioenergetics are here offered together in a single workshop, in a safe and supportive small-group setting, guided by a clinical psychologist.
What is bioenergetics?
The bioenergetic exercises were developed by Dr. Alexander Lowen based on the bodypsychotherapeutic tradition initiated by Dr. Wilhelm Reich in the 1930s. These exercises are simple and gentle ways to release long held tension patterns in the body to allow our life force to flow more easily through us again. These exercises also promote deep relaxation and groundin in the nervous system, improving sleep and reducing the effects of trauma.
What is breathwork?
The breathwork you will experience in this workshop is gentler and simplified version of the holotropic breathwork technique developed by Dr. Stanislav Gro in the 1970s.
It consists of continuous, deep, rhythmic breathing over an extended period of time, lying down on your back, accompanied by an evocative musical journey. This floods the body with rejuvenating vital energy – called chi in Chinese medicine and prana in the yoga tradition. The influx of energy can bring unconscious tension patterns to the surface, as well as allows or the liberating release of stored emotions. It also creates a deeply concentrated state which facilitates access to important memories, transformative insights and creativeimagination.
