Main activities Programme + Programme translation:
We will alternate between practicing dances and games, small theoretical units and interacting with and getting to know the local intentional community of the Ecovillage Sieben Linden. The participants will get to know a variety of traditional dances from various countries around Europe and Israel, experiencing directly the diversity of temperaments among the different cultures as part of Europe’s cultural heritage. Cooperative games, as opposed to most traditional games have neither winners nor losers. This permits all players to have fun, relax and enjoy themselves. This type of games can enrich everyone’s lives and be used at parties, meetings, to get to know each other in a group of unfamiliar people and many other ways. This workshop focuses especially on the community building aspects of both games and circle dances. Participants will experience how dancing and playing together brings people closer, bridges differences in background, age and culture and builds group spirit. Partly, the work will be done in smaller groups assembled according to participant’s interests. Here, Participants will prepare and practice facilitating a dance or game and teaching it to others. On the last day, the workshop participants and facilitators will host an afternoon/evening open to the local public offering the games and dances learned during the previous days for all to participate, a moment of celebration.

Wir werden: uns entspannen und sportlich betätigen (Nordic-Walking), die Unterschiede von passiver (z.B. Massagen, Sauna, Thermalbad) und aktiver Entspannung (z.B. Autogenes Training, Progressive Muskelentspannung, Yoga, Atemübungen, einfache Meditationsformen) kennen lernen und ausprobieren, Stressfaktoren und energiezehrende Elemente im Leben identifizieren, herausfinden wie ich mit ihnen umgehen kann, erfahren was Burnout ist und wie frau sich davor schützen kann, lernen wie frau eine gute Balance aus An- und Entspannung herstellen kann, gemeinsam reflektieren warum es wichtig ist das Thema unter weiblicher Sicht zu beleuchten, die Entwicklung der Frauenrollen in Deutschland an Schauplätzen in Nürnberg erfahren, im Niedrigseilgarten (evtl. auch Hochseilgarten) unsere Komfort- und Stresszonen neu ausloten, herausfinden was Ernährung mit Stress- und Burnout-Prävention zu tun hat, lernen wie ich Stress beim Einkauf und Kochen vermeiden kann und stattdessen meine Gesundheit fördere, uns bei allen diesen Punkten die kulturelle Vielfalt der multinationalen Gruppe bewusst machen und über unsere Herkunft und Lebensrealitäten erfahren, versuchen, durch eine andere kulturelle Brille als durch unsere eigene zu sehen, ein schönes Abschiedsfest am Ende der Woche miteinander feiern.
