And there is more to see:

 

Welcome to the Soul Motion Institute

The Soul Motion Institute is a place for people who want to give the power of dance more space in their personal and professional lives. The dance meditation method Soul Motion forms the content and structural framework for our offerings. We bring a solid background in dance therapy, sports pedagogy, dance training, meditation, voice work and music.

Values that are paramount to us as humans and in our work with the Institute are: clarity, transparency and sincerity. We want to cultivate curiosity and courage together with our participants and help them to find and open their own doors for more balance, fulfillment and contentment.

Our offers are aimed at people who want to set out on a path. The path inward to their own depth and creativity and from there into the encounter with others. People who are committed to their own personal growth.

We see ourselves as a team that is complemented by international guests. Thus, diversity is also felt in the quality of the teaching and our trainees are accompanied on several levels.

The training attracts people with different professions and from several countries around the world. Participants report that the training has started a process for them that now accompanies them in their further life and keeps them awake for the paths they want to take.

We look forward to the journey together.

Best regards,
Doreen Tönjes & Edgar Spieker

The Soul Motion Training

Soul Motion is a dance meditation method that offers a new way to connect with your body, awaken your creativity, and access greater depth in life. The world’s most experienced Soul Motion teachers and trainers have come together in the Soul Motion Institute to create offerings for people who wish to deepen their own Soul Motion path and those who want to teach Soul Motion themselves. After completing the foundational module “Foundations,” the path is open to the year-long intensive program “Soul Motion Mastery”. The training concludes with the certificate "Authorized Soul Motion Teacher (SMI)". Our trainings are recognized as professional further education measures by the Lower Saxony Agency for Adult and Further Education (AEWB). Our offerings are closed group trainings for our Soul Motion trainees, not public workshops.

Our offers are not public workshops, but are aimed exclusively at our trainees. Regular workshops for everyone can be found on the independent websites of Doreen Tönjes (www.doreentoenjes.de) and Edgar Spieker (www.edgarspieker.de).
