[this event was initially Sensual Somatic Sunday. I redesigned it to atune to what feels more true now]

News report after news report, it is becoming clearer that a whole world order is shattering. Things that had been stable for decades are no more. What it will bring over the longer term is unknown.

But for now, we are many to be deeply impacted. A lot of what's happening in the world is shaking our nervous systems daily, but also shattering world representations that were thought to be solid. We may well feel powerless. I often do!

Yet we have a choice.

I invite you to make space for all of that. Not so much to think about all what's happening — we're doing it already so much — but to let the bodies sense and the hearts feel. And nourish our need for connection with other humans.

I know for myself that there are things that can only be felt when I come together with others. Things that need more than one nervous systems to be welcomed and felt.

This Somatic Love Sunday is an invitation to connect with others in order to expand our capacity to feel what might be too much to feel in the everyday.

We will invite the medicines of movement/dance, touch and sharing words to support our beings in making (somatic) sense of a world we have a harder time to recognize.

And as Gabrielle Roth used to say: let's make our dance and our sweating a prayer.
I don't you, but I, for too long, believed that praying was about silently asking for something. I believe now that praying is about letting ourselves feel everything so that we can actually hear what our hearts truly want and let life feel us.

"When we open our eyes to what is happening, even when it breaks our hearts, we discover our true size; for our heart, when it breaks open, can hold the whole universe. We discover how speaking the truth of our anguish for the world brings down the walls between us, drawing us into deep solidarity. That solidarity, with our neighbors and all that lives, is all the more real for the uncertainty we face." — Johanna Macy

About The Relational Shift & Adrien

For the last 15 years I have dedicated my focus to facilitating a transformation to a more relational and connected world. I first did this through academic research and got a doctor title and a burn-out from it.

Since then I am fully dedicated to putting back aliveness at the centre of my life and what I do. I work as a facilitator, mentor, speaker and artist to support others in embracing aliveness and adopt a relational understanding of Life.
Doing so, we bring back a perception of ourselves and of the world that is more alive, sovereign, and, ultimately, magic.

This is The Relational Shift.

Through workshops, ceremonies, retreats and one-on-one sessions I work in a trauma-informed and critical way with the medicines of Movement, Eros, and Play.
