“re-Sourcing Lineages” in Vienna and streamed.
This workshop brings into dialogue the practices of two teachers rooted in distinct lineages of embodied knowledge. Malcolm Manning and Sarah Tulivu.

During this workshop, we will inquire from our different perspectives into how attention shapes movement, and how movement can refine attention, how structure can support flow and how flow can reveal structure; and above all how, through an open-hearted presence we can cultivate new capacities to meet life’s challenges.
