In the darkest time of the year, Ya'Acov & Susannah invite you to join them at the beautiful Kientalerhof seminar house in Switzerland to reflect on and process the past 12 months. Supported by the wonderful surroundings, we will follow the energy of the season, let go, allow things to be, and see in the darkness of winter what wants to be seen. We will attune ourselves to the silent wisdom of our cells and perceive what longs to emerge through us in the coming year. We will sow the seeds of these dreams in the fertile soil of dance and bring them to life through movement, art, and ritual.
We will share our stories around the warming fire. With the focused discipline of Movement Medicine practice, we will dance and embody prayers for ourselves, for our relationships, and for the larger web to which we belong. This seminar is an invitation to return to your roots, to nurture what connects you, and to ignite the sparks of hope and inspiration.
This year, we are delighted to welcome Reuben Darling Khan and Haein Cho back to our program, where they will perform music. Reuben will share his work on the foundations of well-being. Haein Cho will lead morning yoga and a cacao ceremony as part of our Solstice Dreaming program.
"For Susannah and me, this is always a special time of year. An opportunity to reflect, let go, and give thanks for the past year. We focus on what truly matters, sharpen our intentions, and create space for the dreams of a new cycle. We find the process of dancing into the landscape of a new year to be deeply moving and effective."
