TESTIMONIALS FROM PREVIOUS GRAVITY WORKSHOP ///
"The more that I do this, the more I realize it's what I need to be doing. It's fascinating. It stays with me while we dancing, but also while I'm driving home, while I'm talking to friends and family. I really appreciate the writing exercise, I thought I wouldn't like it. I've reached something else. Not just in the jamming but in more guided movement classes, which are so valuable. Thank you for this!"
- SERGIO
"I'm really grateful for all of you. I love the Constellation of people that happens when you put people in a container like this. I see all of you much better than I saw you when we walked in. It's beautiful. You guys are all really beautiful human beings. It's a reminder to me. Stuff comes up and we are starting to feel. I can see myself in your experience. What a good investment. I'm so glad that I'm here. I'm buzzing with love. Thank you."
- LAWRENCE
"I really enjoyed the feminine softness, the contrast in the teaching versus more dynamic masculine approach, were harmonized. It was really interesting watching my own responses, to push myself, or go with my own rhythm. Adjusting, but listening as well. I felt resistance the first two days and now I don't want to go home. Now I feel more comfortable, playful and relaxed."
- TAURI
"I feel like I got to explore some of my emotional landscape through movement. To put it into words, to share it. I can see it unfolding in my body this week. Getting to explore that with other people. To just be here, with whatever is happening. It's all ok. There's a lot of possibility."
- NATHANIA
"I started dancing Contact a year ago, never danced it before. I had a lot of resistance and I learned how to not push myself. I'm happy I was challenged. Great 4 days. I got out of my shell."
- ALEX
