Do you desire more fulfillment and exchange in your relationship? Are you wondering how to more fully appreciate others while still honoring yourself? We all know in our minds that it helps to be more open and receptive and fully present and forthcoming, but in the day to day exchange with people around us, these qualities often stay on the level of wishful thinking… How can we truly embody these Yin and Yang qualities so they flow naturally in us and we can get the full benefit from the many relationships in our lives?
The 16 Ways brings flow into all our relationships by tapping into the timeless principles of yin and yang, and grounding them in a thoroughly modern and immediately accessible approach to the movement arts, psychology, and bio-energetics. In this unique 2.5 hour workshop, Dylan and Kyung-sun will be focusing exclusively on the core dynamics of pure Yin and pure Yang. The central duality in any person’s life is the constant tension between ‘Self’ and ‘Other’. These two energetic poles can be seen as the quintessential Yin and Yang of consciousness. Yang energy is the center and moves outward from ‘Self’; Yin energy surrounds us and moves inward from ‘Other’. Our ability to be fully present with the energy of ‘Self’ and the energy of ‘Other,’ is our ability to fully answer the call of our consciousness. In our day-to-day lives, however, these polarities often block each other and result in a compromise—where partial ‘Self’ meets partial ‘Other’.
To be fully present with something is to devote one’s complete awareness to it. In this light, Yang Devotion entails a complete ‘showing up for’ and honouring of ‘Self’; it is ‘Agency’— the foundation of our ability to act. Yin Devotion entails being fully available in body-mind-spirit for the ‘Other’; this is ‘Communion’—the foundation for all relationship. It is ‘Self’ and ‘Other’, ‘Agency’ and ‘Communion,’ that form the sacred union of Yin and Yang.
In this workshop we will be exploring questions such as: ‘What does the full presence of ‘Self’ and ‘Other’ look and feel like? How can we shift the polarity of ‘Self’ and ‘Other’ from being in a state of conflict to a state of synergy. We will engage in a series of simple, full-body exercises, games, chanting, and partner exercises to unleash the abundance that naturally flows from a deeply embodied devotion to both ‘Self’ and ‘Other’.
“A truly fascinating, original and powerful system of combining sound, movement and energy.”
—Richard Gordon, Founder/Author of Quantum-Touch
“To put it as simply as I can, The 16 Ways movements and sequences gave me a clear experience of
being in the world with all of me...Deep inside, I felt like I had reached into each place and had gently uncovered every stone…seeing what was good, seeing what needed care, and knowing that I had
a non-cognitive, embodied approach to work with.”
—Alex Iglecia, founder, The Epic Workout
