'When you discover how to listen, a new world opens up'.
I love a good holiday! But when the days get busy again 95% of us tend to loose contact with the body again. This results in restlessness, mood-swings and a struggle to find important rejuvenating rest. As soon as we get busy we lower awareness of our bodily senses and easily start tensing up our neck, head and shoulders whilst pushing the boundaries of our well being.
In an increasingly artificial world the need of maintaining a natural connection with your body grows. Having receptive skills will increase your opportunity of utilising the 3 intelligence centres better. This course focusses on aligning and balancing your 3 intelligence centres being: The Heart, the Body and the Mind. Recognise the diversity of your deeper intelligence by tapping into your natural strengths and abilities to empower internal communication and grow your overall well being.

The body speaks
Allowing your body to speak seems awkward at first glance because the body may express itself naturally out of your comfort zone. We are so used to controlling our body from the head in western society that we get stuck in using our body as a slave, telling ‘it’ what to do. But what if our body knows better?! This course will move you into an embodied flow state and release control from your head over the body to open a doorway to: Changing your mindset at will, an ability to manage moods, empower your posture and alignment and find active relaxation.
What makes this course different?
When you're already engaged in yoga, sports, performing and/or forms of meditation, The Receptive Mind course complements these practices really well. The course offers embodied mindfulness exercises that reveal an exciting new approach to observing and centering yourself during work and leisure activities. For example: How you relate to what you do, is how you relate to yourself in the process. When working towards a goal from a place of frustration, you are teaching your body and heart frustration. The body has peptides that function like emotional neurotransmitters that literally store emotions in your body. 'How' you practise to start with becomes more important then 'what' you practise, and that is something I often miss in other teachings.
What to expect?
Live Q&A sessions, videos guiding experienced based exercises, printables and audio files along with a community of fellow students to share questions and ideas with makes this experience come alive at your own convenience.
Why do it?
Once the potential of inner communication is established through practise it allows the body to speak to you, your body will respond to your attention like a child that is seen, listened to, loved and come alive resulting in increased vitality, flexibility, spontaneity and inner joy. When you learn how to observe and practise attentive focus in the right way you start creating more and more moments of true presence growing your intuitive abilities and authenticity over time whilst leaving insecurities and irrational fears at bay. This I believe is what makes an incredible engaging and passionate Leader, performer, artist, and creator in life.
Your teacher
Hi I'm Roel Voorbij, a movement teacher, performer and personal coach. I studied physical acting at the University of the Arts Amsterdam. Currently coaching professionals from all walks of life and teaching at Sydney Australia's leading theatre schools (NIDA, ACA, SAS, The Hubstudio).
A letting go of any preconceived ideas you may have to rediscover yourself.
During my adolescent years I was hyper aware and very sensitive of my expressions and movements to the point that I almost couldn’t function normally when walking into a bar facing people I looked up to. Fighting with insecurities my hunger for more confidence, and freedom of expression brought me to theatre. With love for humour and creativity I confronted myself through being onstage. I learned embodying uncomfortable sensations and breathing through an occasional panic attack by embracing what was happening rather than denying it. I found relief and got to know and read myself better over time through tapping into my felt sense awareness. Nowadays I have the choice to respond rather then reacting from a place of restlessness or overwhelm. The somatic practises allow me to stay centred, change mood at will, release tension and recognise patterns and habits. I started seeing more people disconnected from their body having similar struggles and got inspired to become a teacher. This course is the continuation of a decade of teaching, exploring exercises that resonate both for myself, students and clients. I’m eager to share the profound results with you today and look forward to hearing more from you!
