Why Choose this training

Feedback:
"I've discovered that what I learned in this training is incredibly universal, simple, and straightforward, making it accessible to anyone. I appreciate that it's deeply connected to the body, dance, and movement, but it doesn't require any prior knowledge or ability to move or dance to engage in the process, especially with the support of a coach... I'm incredibly grateful for the depth of our group's work. I feel we were all compelled to dig deeper and truly understand the material, not just superficially." (Joanna Duraj) 
Feedback:
"The basic training felt very much like my personal journey. Through the training, sensing my own body, and going through sessions, I experienced beautiful realizations and understood my body's messages in a poetic way, leading to many "aha!" moments. This process shifted my perception of my body, mind, and existence, integrating my physical presence into my everyday reality... (Anna Andreou) |
How the Training Works
Prepare your path: certain requirements must be met before registration. (See requirements above)
Take the first step: registration opens the door to your participation. (Register here)
Ensure clarity and trust: before starting your training, you and the Academy will sign a mutual agreement that provides security, commitment, and a clear framework for your journey.
Create your own journey: each module can be booked individually. (Book via the Academy)
Choose the payment that suits you best: pay per module, in installments, or in full. (See payments below)
Start where you are: you may begin with any module, with the Foundation Module offering strong support for your first steps. (See calendar)
Learn in the way that fits your life: all modules are hybrid—join us onsite at Zentrum Paradies or live via Zoom from wherever you are.
Grow together: for the online modules Somatic Touch and Healing Dance with Partner, you’ll need a study partner.
Your partner joins free of charge, without committing to the full training—what matters is their presence and commitment during the module.
Deepen your practice: weekly class modules include guided homework assignments to help you embody what you learn.
Reflect and integrate: after each module, you’ll write a short feedback paper (1–3 pages) to anchor your insights.
Celebrate your progress: certification is awarded when you attend at least 80% of the classes and complete all homework and feedback.
Stay flexible: if you miss a class, you can make it up the following year or with video recordings and reflection tasks. (Note: not all classes are recorded)
Commit to transformation: the full training journey amounts to 250 hours of guided learning, embodied practice, and personal growth.

Feedback
"Attending this training I found myself not only in a very safe space, but also in an trustful and "wertschätzende" athmosphere, which made it possible to enter an deep and mindful process. I found myself in a state where an intensive re-learning process could happen. I learned to trust in the selforganisation-processes of my body by being mindfully & friendly. By trusting and sensing I got more easy & effortless in movement, and a deeper understanding of what my body is asking for & what it needs."
( Anna Demmelbauer )
"I'm incredibly happy looking back on this journey. The learning environment with Dieter and Julia was incredibly nourishing. It provided also a safe environment ,where I had the space to organize and express my thoughts without interruption . This is clearly part of the method, and I always felt comfortable sharing exactly what was there for me, without needing to translate it into some "acceptable" language. Exchanging ideas and sharing challenges has truly enriched me. This has been a stark contrast to other training environments I've experienced, which didn't feel safe or nourishing. It's wonderful to experience this level of interaction, and it has definitely set a high standard for my other interactions. I now know it's possible to interact in such a meaningful way."
