DE+EN | 5-day workshop c.a.r.e
Practices of Imagination and Expression
This module invites participants into a living exploration of creativity as an embodied, transformational, and practical focus. It aims to provide somatic, concrete examples and address a wide range of topics. Participants will be given concrete tools and experiential practices to deepen the connection between perception, movement, and expression—with direct reference to areas such as communication, leadership, education, therapy and artistic practice.
We explore vital questions such as:
How do we create our lives, our movements, and our environments with greater ease? How do we manage to remain both stable and flexible in changing circumstances, depending on what is needed? By experiencing themselves as fully alive in their bodies—with agency, presence and awareness—participants cultivate the inner conditions necessary to be creative and courageous within complex systems. This module supports professionals in offering holistic, embodied support to their clients, patients, students and teams—while staying grounded, inspired and creatively resourced themselves.
Key Topics of the module
- Creativity as a transformational process
- From inspiration to creative expression
- Somatic tools for imagination and movement
- Creativity in leadership, therapy and education
- Stability and flexibility in changing environments
- Perception, movement and expressive integration
- Agency and aliveness in the creative self
- Holistic support in professional practice
- Sustaining creativity in complex systems
This workshop is also a module of the professional training c.a.r.e - Creativity, Attachment, Resiliencem Education

C.A.R.E. – Creativity, Attachment, Resilience, Education
c.a.r.e. stands for Creativity, Attachment, Resilience, and Education. Cultivating care for oneself and others forms a vital foundation for relationships—both with ourselves and those around us.
Our training program equips participants with key insights from neuroscience, pedagogy, psychology, and somatics, focusing on the core of human coexistence: human development. These principles are designed to support professionals in therapeutic, educational, and social fields, while also offering tools for personal growth.
The c.a.r.e. Approach
The c.a.r.e. Program is designed to deepen self-awareness and strengthen personal resilience—essential steps toward fostering supportive relationships with others. Rather than reliving retraumatizing memories, C.A.R.E. helps participants understand how past experiences shape the nervous system and self-perception.
Through targeted work on early childhood reflexes, embryonic development, and self-regulation, the program helps repattern dysfunctional survival strategies while building new resources for stability, flexibility and well-being. C.A.R.E. integrates innovative somatic practices with neuroscientific research, attachment theory, and developmental psychology.
Who Benefits from c.a.r.e.?
This program serves a dual purpose:
- Enhancing professional skills in resource-oriented, attachment-based support.
- Encouraging self-reflection to recognize and transform personal patterns.
By exploring the connections between movement and nonverbal interaction, C.A.R.E. empowers participants to apply these principles in both their personal and professional lives.
200 UE / 6 modules / 4 somatic methods / 3 instructors

A somatic approach can provide effective and simple support for babies, children and adolescents who are facing challenges in learning, development or emotional regulation, whether big or small. This programme will support you to integrate somatic approaches into your practice, providing a combination of body awareness and embodiment training with practical somatic exercises and approaches appropriate to specific client groups.
