Courage - Mut

Sunday, 3rd -  Friday, 8th of March 2019

We are pleased to announce the 19th El Haddawi Winter School. It will take place from Sunday, 3rd to Friday, 8th March 2019 at the island convent "Abtei Frauenwörth" on Lake Chiemsee in Bavaria, Germany.

Courage – what does it entail nowadays? How can I live in accordance with my own beliefs? What frightens me? What encourages me? Do I have enough self-confidence and determination to stand up for myself and my values?

Especially in times of political tensions and upheaval it is worth pondering on these questions. People living in privileged parts of the world have the luxury of being able to choose between many different ways of life. If we want to continue living in a liberal and openminded atmosphere, courage is essential. If we believe in empathy rather than hatred, then courage is required.

Art and spirituality have always had the potential of being a counteracting remedy against radicalism and bias.

Together with our guest teachers, we will seek to find out how courage, determination and creativity can enrich our lives. Techniques and methods from dance, theater and meditation will help us to explore the connection between spirituality, art and political and social responsibility.

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 introduced many years ago. 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.
