Spring Awakening 
March 19th - 21st
Friday evening-Sunday evening
including Sumarah meditation with Beate Stühm

Awakening to ourselves, body and spirit, awakening to spring. The new life of the trees and the ebb and flow of the sea invites us to shed our winter ‘skin’ and re-discover our vitality.

Sumarah is a Javanese form of meditation. It means to surrender, to let go of fighting in our lives. It is a practice of receiving, accepting and becoming more aware, this leads to a deep relaxation of the body, mind and emotions. Each day there will be a guided Special Meditation, a time of sitting together and receiving guidance, daily meditation is continued in our every day life. No experience of meditation is necessary.

Sumarah meditation has a close affinity to, and provides a clear support for this approach to movement practice. No financial remuneration is received for Sumarah guidance, necessary expenses will be covered by the workshop fee.

Beate Stühm is a movement artist, who trained with Anna Halprin and Suprapto Suryodarmo. She has practised Sumarah Meditation since 1987, with Pak Wondo in Java and Laura Romano in Europe. She was a member of the Sumarah Meditation Guidance Training (2003-2005) led by Laura Romano.
