We are Here! We’re Whole! We are Enough!
Hm, or sometimes not?
How to re-store the primal states of Oneness, Wholeness and Sufficiency.
How to remember your genuine presence over and over again
and integrate it into your daily life?
I invite you to the Authentic Presence Practice.
…from established movement patterns into spontaneity,
from dance of opposites into oneness,
through pain into (self)healing,
from captivity to freedom,
from dispersion to wholeness.
…….. <3
Through immersion to sensuality of the body,
comprehensive sensation, we meet qualities as
RELAXATION, LIGHTNESS
SPONTANEITY and SPACIOUSNESS,
FLUIDITY and ATTENTIVE LISTENING -
AUTHENTIC PRESENCE.
…….. <3
Meetings are spontaneous mix and match of known and unknown,
laboratory of the psychosomatic spiritual techniques.
Meetings are open to anyone, who wants to listen to your body more attentively and release physical, emotional, spiritual or collective bounds, address probable pains and heightened
the quality of the INNER SELF CONNECTION.
Meet unknown parts of yourself and integrate.
As this meeting are not performative nature, dance background is not needed. Movement, dance and voice are tools to deepen inner connection.

to your NATURAL state
of your BEING

“I adore wilderness, dancing, my son and doughter, creativity and traveling. For me, creativity is a never-ending process that changes its art forms and expressions. It travels through the physical and spiritual worlds, creating us, tearing us apart, and re-creating us over and over again.”

ALIVENESS - body rhythm
TANDAVA- dance of unity
PAIN- self-healing
ZERO POINT- reset
MANDORLA- dance of opposites
EARTH- immersion
THE OTHER- listening
ALIVENESS - body rhythm
Recognizing aliveness itself, what is it anyway? What is this for you? Exploring the energy impulse that flows through our body. An impulse associated with elements of nature such as earth, air, fire and water on the physical and metaphysical. Recognize the blueprint of your impulse through tone, color, rhythm of movement and voice. The physical body connects us to the energetical body, which expresses the aliveliness of our being. Traveling through movement energetically embodies the source energy we carry with us. What does our source energy communicate, where does it lead us, how does it manifest in our lives? This energy is unique and incomparable to others.
TANDAVA- dance of unity
Encounter with the practice of Kashmiri Shaivism, the oldest form of tantra. The Dance of Oneness connects us to the body of the Whole, which we are a part of. We encounter the original Oneness, the intrinsic quality of Fusion. Through sailing in space without end and limitations, we experience ourselves as free beings without limits. The memory of this original state helps us keep the world in balance, between inside and outside, chaos-order. The top experience of tantrika is awakened Spontaneity, where eny response to reality is perfectly aligned with the flow of Life. This spontaneity is intimately linked to untouched Innocence.
PAIN- self-healing
Our BODY is a collection of bodies, physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, collective, light, astral… The physical body is connected to all bodies at once and physical pain can be the application of many other trapped frustrations that we experience in many layers. Immersion in the painful parts of ourselves allows us access to insights into the content of pain. Developing intuition and compassion for your body opens up the potential of an inner healer. Self-healing through the sensations of the body, developing the potential to travel between bodies. Understanding the whole, aligning all bodies into a multidimensional BODY. The voice as a vibration is a healer as it addresses us along with the movement. Voice-Movement in harmony. Integrity-healing.
ZERO POINT- reset
”O” is a symbol for NOTHING and EVERYTHING at the same time. Everything flows there and everything originates from there. It is a ubiquitous state that accompanies us at all times. Returning to this point with consciousness connects us to wholeness and oneness at the same time. The point of ZERO is also the disappearance of oneself, a complete re-set, where we must be ready to lose everything - to gain everything. You don’t even know if you’ll ever come back at all. Strengthens our Courage, Trust and Surrender.
MANDORLA- dance of opposites
We live in Duality, in a world of opposites. We are a net between the male and female principle, Life and Death pulsate in us, sadness-joy, laughter-cry, the world outside-the world inside, black&white, warm-cold, open-closed, loving-hostile, order-chaos. Constantly, without ceasing, the world in this material world moves in opposing principles. Sometimes we ourselves are a picture of the internal struggle between opposites. Can we dance them and allow them to take us into the experience of Oneness? Can we be a battleground between opposites and not fight against it? Consciously give up the fight where you are acting as a warrior. It is the core of the Koan. And therefore a powerful spiritual experience.
EARTH- immersion
The Earth carries and supports us. It has the power to feed and protect us, to embrace and love us… and if she wants to burn us or flush away !. The immersion in the Earth is an encounter with the primary -Prima matter, whose intrinsic quality is love and support, complete trust. If we can find trust in Life, then we become part of Abundance. The survival fear, which is very strong in us, prevents us from contacting Abundance. Because we fear Death, we do not understand that Life already takes care of itself. In appearance and disappearance. We have no control over life, we can only surrender to it. Surrender to Earth is surrender to the Life that lives us. Rebirth is always waiting for us.
ABUNDANCE-integration
Time to celebrate everything you have experienced. Integrate. Do we allow ourselves to just let all experiences work for themselves, without our interference? Losing control over what will be created, is it worth it, is it rewarding, does it make sense, is it useful? It doesn’t matter actually, because it’s not in our power to evaluate our experiences. Let us experience the UNKNOWN without the need to know. It is a masterpiece because it addresses the existential fear that is built into us. In this way we come into contact with ABUNDANCE.
THE OTHER- listening
We are social beings as we respond strongly to the world outside of us. This world co-creates us. Contact with the outside world is defined primarily by relationships with other beings. How do we meet fully, fully present and genuine? Do we put on a mask in front of others? what kind of? How we unconditionally support each other and be supported. Through meeting another, we can fully embody and consolidate our all-presence. How we preserve our authentic energy and nature and at the same time meet each other in this Present-Pristine state. Do we have an ear to hear each other in our differentness?
2.cycle : 13th of November 2021.-7th of February 2022
4.cycle : 11nd of April - 30th of May 2022
JOYFUL BODY: play
WILD BODY: surprise
EMOTIONAL BODY: feel
COMPASSIONATE BODY: listen
NON-DUAL BODY: split
COLLECTIVE BODY: connect
HOLISTIC BODY: align
JOYFUL BODY: play
Playfulness and joy are primal states of our being. To be the ultimately joyful, why not? What prevents us from not being joyful? Find a playful way to reclaim them, to win them back. Where do we feel joy in the body? Allowing ourselves to feel the flow of all the living energies flowing through us. How do we feel sexual energy in itself? Do we allow it to move and dance, to express? The awakening and interweaving of all alive in us. Let’s allow ourselves to be joyful.
WILD BODY: surprise
The wildness within us is all that is unvisited and unexplored. Let us allow ourselves to peer a little over the edge of the known and take a leap into the unknown. The unknown places inside us, the strange energies, the never-perceived feelings, the misunderstood reactions. Let's translate these perceptions into movement and voice. Let us surrender to this current that we do not know where it leads us. The process requires courage and perseverance. We would rather turn back, where we are in the comfort zone, in the known space. Or? are we not at least a little curious? Sometimes contradictory situations provoke a struggle.
EMOTIONAL BODY: feel
What do you feel? Letting feelings, sensations, emotional states flow from one into the other... Through movement and voice we embody them, let them overwhelm us, let them do with us what they will. Sometimes one emotion hides another one. Let us become aware of the hiding places. Such processes can be shocking and painful. We let the body heal us through the dance. Let our dance embody our states as much as possible so that we can transform them. At the end we are overwhelmed with joy, because we have allowed ourselves to feel all that would otherwise frighten us.
COMPASSIONATE BODY: listen
Feel yourself. To feel yourself, in all that you are, beyond pleasure and pain. Diving into the flesh of the feelings and letting them dance out, expressing them with the voice. Compassion for ourselves enables us to have compassion for others. That prepares us to be able to listen to somebody else's feelings at the body level. To teach the body to empathise beyond words. Our bodies are immensely fluid to feel everything around us. But they need to have an experience on their own skin in order to open the capacity for compassion toward the other.
NON-DUAL BODY : split
We are at once nondual and dual. We are separate from the world, we are not separate from the world. Exploring both states and their interplay. Separateness is the greatest wound of human experience. We will descend into it and experience how we ourselves feel it through movement-voice dimensions. We will feel it best in contact with the other, play it out and let it take us as it wills. Sometimes to the depths, sometimes to the heights. We will get in touch to the deep level of lonelyness
COLLECTIVE BODY: connect
Sometimes we don't recognise whether the stories are ours or whether they are collective, or how much of the story is collective and how much is personal. Is there anything personal about my existence? We will connect into the collective body and from there we will look at our personal story. Maybe suddenly it won't be the same anymore? Where is the power of the collective? Recognising the collective body connects us in a web. From there empathy arises. What is the fully autonomous core in me? How do I meet this quality in movement?
HOLISTIC BODY: align
We are a collection of bodies, physical, mental, emotional, collective, luminous, wild… They wander within us, meet, contradict, undermine each other? How do we reconcile them when each has its own way, rhythm, content, world? The dance of bodies, allowing the diversity of movement to each one individually. Finding the moment when they are alined. Then we are whole in the sense that everything in us is working towards the same goal. The goal is to be real, authentic and present.
TESTEMONIALS:
“Last year I did something really special for myself: I came to Athentic BODY Presence meetings every Monday! And even if I was tired from the day, I always left flowing and full of strength and inspiration. Urška masterfully creates a sacred space, fragrant and full of music. It leads you very unobtrusively to get in touch with your body and even feel the emotions, tensions, blockages, needs, distresses, and longings that lie buried deep within us. Attending the workshops helped me break away from the mental acrobatics buzzing in my head and connect with my authenticity. I warmly recommend it to anyone looking for contact with themselves and their body. Thank you, Urška! “Ana, aromatherapist
“Every meeting with Urša is something special, something different, unforgettable. It is a special feeling when you realize that you are everything and you are nothing at the same time, when you see your inner strength that has been forgotten or undiscovered. When you realize how beautiful it is to be alone, together at the same time. When you realize that you have to love yourself, when you feel sadness, joy, happiness and love mother earth, when you see your other, unknown side of yourself, when you can be what you are, without prejudices, beliefs and judgments, when you realize that it is enough just to be - here and now. When the heart speaks, when you start listening to your inner voice, and you realize how beautiful it is just to be. “Ana, defectologist, therapist
“Authentic BODY Presence... it would be difficult to categorize meetings - it’s not only exercise, it’s not only therapy, it’s not only deep time for oneself, it’s not only meeting with a related purpose of growth and self-healing, it’s not only community, it’s not only gentle touch, nether just connecting with your body. But it's all of that at the same time, spiced with the smell of a red mushroom and the sounds of a shamanic drum. It seems that Urša drives us through the wilderness of the soul instinctively. But at the end still or because of that everyone always comes home. Magical. ” Marša, NVC leader, pedagogue, translator
“I found in the dance process with Urša a space to explore forgotten places of myself through movement.
It has been the best to brake the cocoon after isolation and the lack of dancing due to the lockdown.”Davide, ILM therapist, contact dancer
