The Movements of Life

WOMANHOOD

LIP Institute x Vivienne Lodder x Feadan McCall

Life is constantly moving:
from dependence to autonomy,
from connecting to letting go,
from discovering yourself to living yourself fully.

How do we stand in life as women?
In this year program, we set out to explore that together.

  • Arriving

  • Connecting

  • Breaking Free and Longing to Become

  • Adulthood

  • Ingetrating and letting go.

Your body is your most important guide in this: it often already knows what the mind is still trying to understand.
While connecting with our bodies, it becomes visible what your movement patterns are. Movements you only just now notice. By fully owning, inhabiting and playing with those qualities, space opens up: for something new, for choice, autonomy and creativity

This is the essence of our work. Insights can land in the body and with devotional practice uncover who you fully are becoming.
We draw inspiration from Wilfried Nelles' Life Integration Process, from the practices of Embodied Knowing, and from the book Liefde is als water, het kiest altijd voor de zee (Love is like water, it always chooses the sea).
We are working in 5 modules, from preconception to mature adulthood.

Who is this for?
For anyone who longs for more embodied resilience, expression and connection with themselves. For those curious about the natural movement of life, who don't just want to understand it, but above all want to experience it. No dance experience is needed - curiosity, an open attitude and the willingness to meet yourself are enough.

By Whom?
Feadan McCall and Viviënne Lodder bring together different perspectives and experiences: the language and expressive power of dance, the wisdom of the body, systemic work, and their own rich life and professional experience of the journey from girl to womanhood.
