A WATER AND LAND IMMERSION THROUGH
LIQUID-BODY PRACTICE AND SOMATICS

21, 22, 23 April / BRUSSELS

This aquatic immersion is also particularly designed for those with some experience in freediving. Freedivers, aquatic body-workers and anyone passionate about water will be invited and guided to expand their perception towards gravity and the art of freefalling at all times. In the Liquid-Body perspective we conceive falling not as a physical action, but rather, as a state of consciousness, whether one is undergoing a freefalling experience into the depths of the ocean or simply walking down the street. The experience of falling is revealing and may be utterly empowering and transformative. Yet it is by becoming acquainted with our concealed resistances and fears of falling that we may become able to recycle those paralyzing falling experiences into a portal of unimaginable possibilities.

"The bad news is you're falling endlessly, nothing to hang on to, no parachute. The good news is, there's no ground." — Chögyam Trungpa

These sessions are carried out in an indoors studio. We will dive into the exceedingly subtle liquid universe inside our bodies to rescue a lost connection with our inner waters. We will metaphorically navigate through our inner ocean while being confronted by gravity, acknowledging its inescapable presence at the same time. We will explore and amplify those subtle inner impulses and bodily motions that oftentimes are dismissed or obfuscated by excessive unconscious tensions and/or muscular exertions. Participants will be introduced to the principles of non-resistance through the 3 archetypes of the water: wave, spiral and sphere. We provide fertile ground for experiences to facilitate the embodiment of our original liquid nature. In the end, we will integrate the water and land practices into one larger context where our most casual expressions, attitudes and gestures may become naturally more aligned with the way the water behaves and flows effortlessly.

Land Session / Waters from Within

Liquid Body is a holistic movement practice, philosophy in flow, that invites each of us to get in touch with our ancestral aquatic roots. In the early embryonic stages, the human body is essentially made up of fluids. We are originally liquid beings and the water, this indispensable element for the creation of all living forms, represents the maternal feminine archetype. Getting in touch with this oceanic legacy of our waters from within has the power to stimulate individual and collective healing processes through liberation of a myriad of dysfunctions, inner blockages and unnecessary burden we tend to store and carry in our bodies. In the Liquid-Body perspective, the body gesture is seen as a reflection and expressions of inner states, therefore inhabiting a liquid body arises as a consequence of a plastic, resilient and adaptable nervous system, the cultivation of a bodily living process that is ever-evolving in continuous transformation.

Bruno Caverna is a pioneer in the development of body-mind integrative practices authentically supported by more than 35 years of dedicated studies in various body-mind disciplines such as Capoeira, Acrobatics, Contemporary Dance, Contact-improvisation, Taiji, Russian Systema, Watsu, Breath-Work and Freediving. In 2012 Bruno created the Play-Fight and Liquid-Body practices and in 2016 he changed the focus of his professional perspective by founding Formless Arts, a philosophical umbrella that sustains the physical practices and theoretical studies. Formless Arts overall's aim is to provide a mosaic-like container for those earnest to be committed to the path of self-knowledge through the contemplation of movement, breath and awareness. Since then Bruno has been certifying facilitators, organizing his own events, educational courses and collaborating at inter-disciplinary festivals. The newest chapter in Bruno's professional trajectory is about to be launched, the Formless Arts Practitioner Training Program offered and spread in 6 modules along the year Bruno started exploring Freediving in 2018 and under the guidance of Andreas Pepper Bruno had a mind-blowing experience as he saw the ocean as a portal for inner dimensions. Ever since he has been completely hooked and fascinated by the feelings and states the deep waters may provide and open up. Recently Bruno has also certified as an instructor of the Buteyko method and Oxygen Advantage, a further dive into the fascinating world of the breath.
