Holistic Dance Advanced Teachers Training (with Certificate)
withSabine Parzer and Guestteachers
Level of specialization
In the Holistic Dance Embodiment Training we deepen the holistic pedagogical and artistic skills we learned in the Teachers Training and expand them by focusing on these 6 global themes:
-
Nature
-
Touch
-
Archetypes
-
Communication
-
Intimacy
-
Healing
The awareness of connectivity of local and global topics such as body, psyche, art, sustainability, healing and spirituality allows us to deepen our knowledge on the somatic, energetic, spiritual, artistic and professional level.
For participants who, after a completion of the Teachers Training, wish to continue to explore embodiment, wholeness, sustainability and healing and integrate the explorations into their personal and professional practice.
​
