In this class, you will be guided through a still and gentle dynamic qi gong practice.

The session is focused on developing energized equanimity, providing a proper boost of energy for the day ahead.

Step into the empowering circle of "Jaya Men: Sacred Brotherhood Activation," a unique 90-minute experience at the Bali Spirit Festival dedicated to the awakening and strengthening of the masculine divine. This workshop is an invitation for men to come together in brotherhood, sharing and activating their inner power through power activations, truth sharing, trust exercises, and ancient wisdom. Engage in rituals that honor and uplift the sacred masculine, fostering a space of support, courage, and unity. Embrace this opportunity to deepen connections, explore the essence of manhood, and activate a shared journey towards personal and collective empowerment. Join us in redefining strength through vulnerability and purpose through unity.

Contact is a transformational dance and healing practice that weaves together Contact Improvisation, Authentic Movement, and Energy Work, infused with elements of Yoga and Chi Kung. Using embodied awareness, CBC invites us into deeper connection—with ourselves, our dance partners, and the greater collective—through touch, presence, and the language of movement.

This practice goes beyond the physical. We explore the energetic and psychosocial layers of connection through exercises that awaken deep listening, emotional intelligence, and authentic expression.

In this workshop, you will be guided through explorations of:

Deep listening to your body and to others

Leading and following / taking and being taken

Honoring your boundaries: knowing your Yes and your No

Moving as part of a unified group field

The power of witnessing and being witnessed

And much more...

Each session is held with the intention to create a safe, supportive space for authentic movement, self-discovery, and relational exploration. CBC integrates body, mind, heart, and spirit, opening the door to dance as a path of healing, creativity, and community.

Whether dancing solo or in contact with others, you’re invited to move from a place that is true, intuitive, and non-performative. Come as you are, and discover new ways to express, connect, and belong.

This approach to Qi Gong is in marrying the body awareness, sensitivity, power and structural alignment of the martial tradition, with health and greater spiritual openings.
 
The present-day tendency to live more in the head space makes the practice of qi gong even more valuable for body/mind connection. Other benefits include integration of the movements of the physical system into one harmonious unit, grounding into the earth energy, awareness and correction of old mind and trauma patterns, and safely building internal strength.

The mental aspect of this training is stepping into a state of calm, relaxation and stillness. Qi will move when the mind is still.

The old paradigm of masculinity demanded men to suppress their emotions in order to be STRONG and to think and act decisively. This old “He Man” was an insensitive brute, immune to his emotions. Disconnected from himself and from others.

I am inviting a “New H.E. man”, a Healthy Expressed man! A man lit with ALIVENESS, sensitive, caring and CONNECTED. Able to EXPRESS his feelings responsibly and to efficiently manage, MOVE and USE this energy as a potent SUPERPOWER to drive his desires, dreams, and destiny forward.

LET’S reframe and RECLAIM our relationship to EMOTIONS!

An interactive workshop for men only.
