TRAINING: Living Aligned With Your Cycle by Nicola Machalova

Language: English
Location: Kunstinstituut Melly, third-floor exhibition space.

This workshop will be interactive and full of essential information. It will involve sharing, exercising, breathing, and discussing. We will talk about our cycle and its four phases (menstruation, pre-ovulation, ovulation, pre-menstruation). All information and physical-mental exercising will be focused on the deeper understanding of the different qualities and powers in each phase. How to live more aligned with your cycle and how to even enjoy its variability? How to plan and operate through your monthly schedule in alignment with these phases and how can this approach contribute to a healthier mechanism? Understanding and connecting with your cycle means accepting and loving all facets of being a woman.

This training is conducted in groups of a maximum of 10 participants and is free to attend (reservation required)

TRAININGS is a new hands-on workshops series taking place as part of our year-long exhibition 84 STEPS. Here, Kunstinstituut Melly transforms its third-floor gallery into a dynamic space presenting artworks and installations all of which embody the theme of mental health and accessibility. For the whole year, the exhibition 84 STEPS will be activated through 60-minute therapeutic TRAININGS, which will take place on the weekends and will be led by a diverse group of (health)care practitioners.

These TRAININGS make room for the art installations of 84 STEPS to be transformed into spaces of restorative activation. Here, the relation of physical architectures, social structures, and experiences of personal and social health are explored in workshops such as aromatherapy, meditation, and dance. Audience engagement, community care and active participation are the focus. We invite you to engage, exchange, and to move your body and mind with us in these weekly TRAININGS programs. To participate in one or more TRAININGS please sign-up here.

The TRAININGS are scheduled throughout the year based on three thematic clusters:

Self-Care (June - September 2021)
Medicine, Madness, and Magic (October - December 2021)
Care for Justice (January - March 2022)
