Are you a community in search of a body-centered workshop?
Within the realm of social practices, HEALIVE. facilitates workshops designed as supportive circles where every voice is valued. Through these workshops, which prioritize self-expression, we collaboratively address the needs and aspirations of the community. Utilizing somatic techniques, our aim is to realize these objectives and to re-discover the potential of the body within the ethics of safety, care, and mutuality.

Speculatives of Touch for body artists
Inspired by performance methodologies, we embark on a journey to understand touch through various lenses. We delve into the intricacies of the sensing body, exploring the principle of synesthesia where the senses of touch and sight intertwine. Drawing insights from the realms of new materialism, phenomenology, architecture, quantum physics, and soma-aesthetics, we invite participants to explore the nuanced dimensions of tactile sensation and deepen their sensory awareness. By attuning to the body's signals through the nervous system, participants unlock a treasure trove of sensations that enrich their practice, reshaping their movement patterns and amplifying their presence.
The Ritual and The Ritualistic Body
As an artist-researcher, Can delves into the significance of our daily and cultural rituals, often marginalized by the constraints of the heteronormative system. Here, ritual serves as a vital link to reestablish connection with one's body and as a pathway to self-liberation amidst epistemic violence. Can's exploration of rituals as profound manifestations of life aims to redefine their practice and adapt them to individual needs. Within these workshops, the emphasis lies on the ecstatic, immanent, and sensorial dimensions of the body.
