Morning for Seniors - General Development Workshop

Morning for seniors "Calm, stability and gentleness" – General development workshops 16.10.26, 10:00 AM - free admission / registration by phone and email This is another meeting at the workshops for seniors Relaxation and music therapy workshops for seniors combining elements of relaxation, mindful movement, music therapy and active participation in creating sound. Their goal is to calm and reduce tension. The program includes gentle movement exercises inspired by the Chinese meditation-in-motion system Tai Chi. They are adapted to the abilities of the participants. Their essence is slow, fluid movement supporting body awareness, improving coordination and promoting relaxation. During the relaxation part of the classes, the instructor uses a set of instruments emitting gentle, harmonious sounds, noises and spatial reverberations. Tibetan bowls, bells, rain sticks, ocean drum and other instruments create an atmosphere conducive to calming and relaxation. The main part of the workshops is the active exploration and independent extraction by participants of sounds from original relaxation instruments and instruments used during musical improvisation. They inspire participants to creative activity engaging the senses of hearing, sight and touch. In the improvisation part, participants choose for their own practice instruments such as metallophone, Tibetan bowls and percussion instruments, which promote joint creation of live music. They develop creativity and build, through jointly producing sounds, a sense of shared energizing experience. What to bring to the workshops? A readiness to receive gentle sounds. If you want – a readiness to extract sounds from the instruments placed at your disposal. Don't play instruments? The essence of the workshops is hearing and feeling the impact of even single sounds.
