We are waiting for you to participate in our next workshop, where we will discover the world on the move with the accompaniment of gongs!
Experience harmony in movement and sound - join us on this exciting journey!
On the gongs, Andres Põhjala. The movement is supervised by Olga Kuvatova.
We move through life when we get into different situations, rooms, and groups. We always have our own energy with us, with which we enter the energy of the environment. Whether the environment is home, nature, city traffic, theater experience, language environment, country, music, good food, a painful tooth or sea water. We move through these environments in our own unique way, which we invented for ourselves by adapting to the environments around us, day by day, every moment we experience.
Flowing movement is a physical practice that combines movement, breath and awareness into a unified experience. Its purpose is to release the body from tensions and balance the energies. Flowing movement creates space for individual creativity and inner discovery. In practice, we focus on the connection of body and mind, offering participants the opportunity to find harmony with the world and a balance unique to themselves. It is open to all levels, allowing each participant to move to the rhythm of their body and discover their own unique inner flow.
Flowing movement accompanied by gongs is a captivating experience where harmonious movements merge with powerful sound waves. The movement is accompanied by the magical sound of the gongs, creating a deep connection between the body and the sounds. The vibrations of the gongs deepen the effects of movement, helping to release tension from the body and bringing about relaxation and inner balance. The practice allows you to immerse yourself in the flow of sounds, letting them guide your own movement, thereby creating and exploring a movement pattern unique to you.
This is the place where we focus all our attention within ourselves on the relationship between me and me, or how I perceive myself as moving in the environment of changing energies created by the sound of the gongs, moving in and out of these energies. Constantly staying in the winds of changing energies and taking responsibility for our movement.
The movement process is assembled from elements used in dance and movement therapy and combined with the sound of a gong. The purpose of flowing movement is to create an experience of movement here and now in the conditions and energies provided by the environment in a safe space, and to explore one's own inner sensations, feelings and thoughts, strengthening the connection between body and mind and cultivating an inner trusting and respectful relationship with oneself.
ABOUT GONGS:
The gong is an ancient and awe-inspiring instrument with a powerful and all-encompassing sound. Considered to be one of the oldest musical instruments in the world, this sacred instrument is known for its mystical sound and rich overtones. These sounds promote deep relaxation and help achieve a peaceful state of mind.
Two different gongs and a shaman's drum accompany us on this journey.
The sounds of the gong affect the brain, bringing it into a state of alpha and theta waves, which in turn supports the growth of creativity and strengthens the immune system. Our thoughts, feelings, emotions, words and actions are also vibrations that we emit. With the help of gong sounds, it is possible to organize, change and balance these vibrations
People who have participated in gong meditations and ceremonies often report feeling rested, refreshed, and inspired after a session. They experience new solutions to problems, find answers to questions, and experience inner peace, joy, bliss, and bursts of creativity.

FLOWING MOVEMENT INSTRUCTOR:
My name is Olga, I am a 41-year-old woman, mother of two adult children. I have an academic education in business management, I previously worked in both the public and private sectors - I was part of teams, I led teams, I trained people.
Today I am moving forward in the field of feelings instead. I am studying psychotherapist at the Private School of Transpersonal Psychology and Hypnotherapy, Tedlik Me, body psychotherapy at the Body Psychotherapy Institute, and dance and movement therapy at Tallinn University. I enjoy learning through experience.
Discovering and learning about my sensations and feelings has become for me the beginning of a journey from a burned-out state to a state of a person who feels the joy of life and creates with pleasure. I perceive it like learning a new language. Your body language. It's never too late 
It is a hugely enriching and world-widening experience.
Movement is something that gets my energy going and brings out all the sensations and feelings, allows me to experience and actively discover with curiosity. Today I feel that the experienced, the untested, the unperceived is taking new forms and wants to move forward in the world, which is why I want to share it with you.
On the gongs, Andres Põhjala
Holding a space with gong sounds and sending different practices is something very special to me. To feel the space and the people and to come fully into the moment. That's where the magic starts to happen, both for me and for the participants. I am no longer in charge at this moment and I am simply a mediator for this creation that is being born. I listen to intuition and higher consciousness to guide the hands holding my gong. I trust the moment, let the rational mind rest and the energy of the heart open. Joy and purity are born there.
