It has been said that we are living at the beginning of the Age of Aquarius. Alternative New Age healing methods and various esoteric-spiritual paths define themselves as expressions of the dawning new era. Through worldwide networking people are able to gain access to different spiritual schools from both East and West. But what do “spirituality” and “mysticism” mean? How can we distinguish between the essential and the superficial? These questions have no simple answer. But through experience and discussion we are able to open a space to better understand different currents – from Zen to Sufism, from Channeling to Reiki.

El Haddawi is a school for Movement Concept®, dance, martial arts, and body work. It works at the interface between body work, performing arts, and spirituality. With methods based on work with the body, incorporating meditation and humour we approach mystic experience and understanding. In addition to workshops taught by Ingo Taleb Rashid and guest lecturers, the following activities are planned: an opening ceremony, various interactive lectures, and opportunities for music and dance improvisation.
We are pleased to be able to offer a unique festival concept which El Haddawi has instituted for many years. Both the participants and the invited teachers will take part in all workshops together throughout the Winter School. This creates a very personal and inspiring atmosphere which enhances the exchange between teachers and students.
