HAFIZ - Because Of Our Wisdom
Are you hungry to get to know yourself better too? And ready to travel far deep in your body to find love?
In this beautiful poem, Hafiz is inviting us to cherish, respect, release and love all passions of our body without any shame.
That inspired me and my partner Goran to prepare soft & easy movement sessions to guide you deeper in your relations and to increase playful intimacy with your chosen, beloved and most intimate partner.
We followed the deeper yearning on how to nurture our partnership by playing, moving, conversing deeply and dancing.
We’ll walk you through four archetypal dynamics that accompany long-term relationships and guide you through its developmental phases by offering you time to truly feel and listen to each other and awaken spontaneity.
Deeper Relations/Session#1- Open your senses and dive into your passionate Lover
Deeper Relations/Session#2 - Walk mindfully next to your partner and Praise your Companionship
Deeper Relations/Session#3 - Awaken your Eternal Child to celebrate your intimate “Peter Pania”
Deeper Relations/Session#4 - Train your Shape-shifting skills to learn wise navigation in times of crisis
Open your senses and dive into your passionate Lover
In this session we’ll indulge profoundly to awaken your senses, deepen the trust between you and create sacred space to awaken your divine sensuality. Dress up romantically, we'll prepare 3-4 most delicious foods or meals to arouse your taste, collect sacred objects, pick up some flowers and candles and get ready for this ecstatic immersion.
Walk mindfully next to your partner and Praise your Companionship
In this session we’ll put in motion loyalty, reliability, sincerity and lasting bondage. We’ll train how to maintain your integrity and devotion. We’ll guide you how to consciously dance with your lifetime buddy, playmate, protector and freely express with your complement.
Awaken your Eternal Child to celebrate your intimate “Peter Pania”
In this session we’ll play out innocent, youthful and imaginitive movement games. We’ll lough, we’ll express vulnerability, we’ll dream big to arouse your playmate . We’ll encourage self-trust deeply enough that you’ll learn the power of play. Play is an act of trust and vulnerability and essential tool in improvisation. In the Enlightened Partnership you are not afraid of being discovered, looking silly or being vulnerable so you are able to enter the intuitive world of play. Innocent play will connect the two of you to your heart, so your motivations will rise heart-centered rather than ego centered.
Train your Shape-shifting skills to learn wise navigation in times of crisis
In this session we’ll focus on acceptance of “here and now” reality within a relationship and awaken your mindful reactivity in critical times of shape-shifting reality, which is inescapable part of every relationship. Through gentle body contact moves, we’ll train our flexibility, expression of formlessness and ability to emphatically indulge into another skin, to completely transmute or take on another form. Skill that is so much appreciated when we need to compromise within our intimacy on daily basis. We’ll explore the dream world, the intuition and other magical realms as part of the formless. The Shape-shifter uses this tool to become whatever is necessary for the moment.
The sessions are facilitated by Sandra and Goran, dancers and life partners raising a family with three children.

Love & Gratitude
Sandra & Goran
It will trigger your passions, by offering you a safe container to truly open each other's senses, awaken your spontaneity, deepen the trust between the two of you and create sacred space to explore your divine sensuality.
You’ll kiss, you’ll laugh, you’ll nurture your needs and indulge in comforts of your body.
We're going to use principles and exercises taken from the practice of contact improvisation and movement meditation to engage with your partner in an entirely different way than you are probably used to.
This sensual movement can be done by “any- body” regardless of your dancing background.

We seek out intimacy, because we are born strangers to ourselves. When we are born, we don't yet know ourselves, we don’t know our habits, likes or dislikes....We need relationships to test our capacity to love, to endure, to care, to nurture and to understand better how we feel about human beings. We can’t figure out our inner motivations without having someone next to us. So we need each other as a means to get to know our own inner nature.
In everyday hectic life, we usually ran out of energy to really dedicate to our partner in a holistic way that embraces body-mind & spirit. The longing for closeness and intimacy is a very human drive but it's amazing how life tends to rob us and take our inspiration and energy for our most important relationships.
The relationship with you is unforgettable for me personally. Your sensitivity to me was fabulous and very helpful. You have shown us exemplary partnership behavior on stage. Thanks for remembering. You are a great example of the right partnership. Thank you and i love you and appreciate.
