Core Connexion Certification Training
Movement, Creativity, Expression, and Healing
 
 
It is our intention as artists, teachers and therapists to invite a "healing dream" for our society and for our earth. We want to support the health and creativity of the individual and society. The CC teaching is interdisciplinary, experiential and experimental. In this training we combine dance, body awareness, music, rhythm and creative process to connect to our aliveness , the core that lives in everything. We explore the ways of creative facilitation and leadership. The theoretical emphasis of Core Connexion is based on the expressive arts, and somatic, developmental and depth psychology and ecology. The approach can be used for personal, communal and global growth and change, and be applied for different kinds of emotional and psychological projects and problems.

a) Work with individuals or groups and want to integrate their own learning into their work of holding space for the healing process
b) Work in healing, education, and the arts
c) Want to bring dance into their communities
d) Love to dance, play, and learn together with others
