“Late summer is the point of transition from Yang into Yin — between the phase of expansive growth that dominates spring and summer, and the more inward, cooler and mysterious period of autumn and winter. It is a time when time itself seems to stand still, and activities unfold effortlessly, almost as if in a dream. Between the extremes comes a period of unity, harmony and the middle way.”
— Paul Pitchford

Let’s meet at the end of summer to celebrate its abundance and immerse ourselves in the qualities this season has brought us. Let’s invite them into the dance, allowing them to find their own rhythm and shape through the body, silence and connection.

Late Summer Silent Jam is a contact improvisation jam and an invitation to mindfully explore our inner landscape, as well as the shared space we will create together during this gathering.
This will not be a workshop, but a living laboratory co-created by each and every participant.

We will begin with a short circle, where we will talk through the structure and framework of our gathering. Then, together, we will enter Silence and give ourselves some solo time — for individual practice, listening to the needs of the body, and meeting the Silence within.
From there, the space will open into a two-hour contact improvisation jam in Silence.
After the jam, there will be time to gently come out of the process, return to words, and meet once again in a circle.

See you in Silence

Gosia

Gosia about herself:
Silence nourishes me. It allows me to connect to the part within which is the most alive but often difficult to grasp in the daily multitude of stimuli and thoughts.
For a long time, I equated the possibility of experiencing Silence with seclusion, withdrawing from the word I live every day. Since I began to practice and experience being in Silence with others, it has changed my perception of relationships. I see great value in being together without words, I want to eplore this, create supportive conditions for it and invite others to this experience. In the city and in everyday life.
The inspiration for this gathering came from participating in events centered around Silence and Contact Improvisation practice: Contact Silence Retrests (Italy) and New Year Contemplative Silent Retreat (Czech Republic).
