WORKSHOP NAME
Bonding and Depression – bonding as a bridge to belonging

Our ability to adapt to constantly changing circumstances depends heavily on the fact that someone is there for us who understands us and fulfils all our dreams. Who was able to receive all this ? The disappointment, the feeling of being left alone and the feeling of being separated casts a shadow on our adult love life, our partnership and our relationships. The early childhood bond during pregnancy, childbirth and in the months immediately after birth allows us to experience security, trust and closeness to the mother’s body. The bonding reflex is an essential support in rediscovering closeness to oneself and to others. Restore your natural ability to love and engage in relationships. The bonding reflex is a great help to rediscover the closeness within self and others. How connected am I within myself and others in relationship ? How do I feel about relationships ? Where do I lose energy ? How do I feel with closeness and distance ?

WORKSHOP NAME
Brain Body Balance® in person training

This 16 hour course is open to anyone. The goal of Brain Body Balance is to provide people with a toolbox of inner resources and simple, enjoyable movements they can use anytime, anywhere to improve their brain-body connections and awareness, their balance, coordination and mobility, and to move with ease and joy.
The course includes principles and techniques drawn from Brain Gym®, Movement Exploration, Qi Gong, body mapping and somatic practices as well as Dana Luebke’s extensive dance experience. It was developed working with seniors over 12 years. Participants will learn from exploring the architecture of the human body, from movement and somatic experiences and by learning specific exercises and techniques. The method has been used with success in community continuing education programs as well as private sessions and as a fall prevention program at a senior residence.

The workshop runs for the two days preceding the Brain Gym® Festival 2025, in Torre Pellice, 65 km from Turin, Italy.
