Soul Motion training
Teaching a practice of conscious movement is a journey, a commitment, a passion, a struggle, a privilege, a gift, a responsibility. If you want to take on this journey, here you can find all the info.
The training to become a Soul Motion teacher created by ConsciousDanceItaly is divided into three parts.
THE FOUNDATIONS
THE EMBODIMENT
THE TEACHING
+ONLINE TEMATIC CLASSES
Soul Motion is a somatic and spiritual practice. It has no therapeutic purposes and does not work directly on shadows, emotions or traumas.
The peculiarity of this training is that there will be teachers of all the ConsciousDance practices, not only Soul Motion teachers.
LANGUAGE: Italian and English.
THE FOUNDATIONS
This intensive workshop is the first step to go deeper into the practice and is a necessary step to access the teacher training. It is open to both those who know the practice and those who want to deepen it. For those who have already done Foundation abroad, it is not necessary to repeat the seminar.
In these days, the foundations, the bases of the practice, will be studied, moved, danced, felt.
The 4 Landscapes lead us to explore intimate dance, dance for two, group dance and the dance of infinity. The journey that makes us cross all these territories inside and outside of us is a real odyssey or perhaps simply, the dance of life.
I'm One (intimate dance).
I'm One with (two-person dance).
I'm One will all (group dance).
I'm one with all One (infinity dance).
In addition to the 4 Landscapes, we will explore the three platforms that form the basis of this practice: Pause Presence
Echo inspiration
Orbit Orientation.
THE EMBODIMENT
In this second step, we explore the connection between our life and the elements of Soul Motion. How they move, how they move us, how they open us to listening, to change, to recognizing our creative power in dance and in our daily life. Which are ultimately the same thing. Because the separation between these spaces is only in our imagination.
In this first part we practice Embodiment and awareness, we learn to stay in the truth of what happens in our body. And we learn to listen to it, to read it, to welcome it. As it is, without wanting to fix or change it.
And since we are not alone on this earth, we also learn to show ourselves as we are and to nurture authentic relationships. It is a physical, somatic exploration, which starts from the body and then enters all the spaces of our being: spiritual, psychological, somatic, emotional, relational.
At the end of this journey each participant will present a project. For those who are not interested in teaching, it is possible to end their journey here.
THE TEACHING
This last part focuses on teaching Soul Motion maps, on building the journey: of a class, of a day, of a workshop. On the language that invites and welcomes, rather than directs and forces.
On taking risks and having the courage to be ourselves, every time we teach. On creating safe spaces, in which each dancer is free to explore while being in tune with their own feelings.
The greatest inspiration of a Soul Motion teacher will not be the notions of this training, but the small big things that happen in everyday life. Life itself will be the raw material on which to build each class.
And it is a practice to cultivate awareness in life to then bring it into our classes.
At the end of this course, each participant will teach a short class. Those who have already attended part 1 and 2 abroad can access part 3. In this training, there are some modules that are also open to those who do not participate in the entire course. And there will be thematic online meetings on some more technical skills, they will be scheduled in the evening and recorded. Those who are already certified and want to refresh can send a request and will be welcome at very discounted prices. The locations will be mainly in Northern Italy, but some will be defined later. The training has a limited number of places.
