Dance Oracle - part 1
2025-05-16 - 2025-05-18 | Schloss Hohenfels, Schloss Hohenfels 1, Hohenfels, 78355, Germany
Dance Oracle

Part 1: Presence, Golden Key, Power Dances
The world with all its phenomena is a great mystery. We cannot comprehend it. But we can ask questions and dance. The dance oracle offers a special opportunity to do so. We playfully combine body awareness with creative expression and gain the freedom to dance with what is. By connecting with what moves us in our hearts we allow the “dance of life” to unfold. In this way the dance becomes the mirror of our heart.
The Dance Oracle can be practiced on its own or serve as a foundation for subsequent courses. You can practise The Dance Oracle for yourself, as a dance meditation, to promote your emotional balance and mental calmness, or use it when you want answers to your questions. Later on, you can also use The Dance Oracle to offer support to other people.
We dance with what is: We focus our attention on body awareness and the breath. Listening to the cycle of the breath, we invite our body to move freely, carried by the flow of the breath. Everything that arises in the awareness of body perceptions, thoughts and feelings can flow into the dance. The synchronization of breath, movement and mind sets an alchemical process in motion. We become calmer, more balanced and more present. In dancing with what moves us we remain the witness to what is and stay free. Judgements, preferences, attachments and aversions may fall away. We are empty and fulfilled in equal measure. Everything that emerges nourishes the dance and this in turn nourishes us. At this point we are in touch with the origin of dance.

Seminar times: Fr. 7-8.30/9 pm, Sa. 9-12. 3-5 and 7-9 pm, Sun 9-12am
Seminar fee: 380 Euro with registration till 14.4.25, after that 430 Euro (accommodation and food not included). If you decide to directly register for the entire dance oracle part 1-4 course, you receive 120 Euro discount.
For accommodation in the castle and its neighbouring buildings please contact Schloss Hohenfels directly: +49 7557 929190, info@schloss-hohenfels.de. All meals are prepared with organic local products. If you choose an accommodation outside of the castle you can choose to sign up with Schloss Hohenfels for sharing meals with us.

Dance Oracle - Part 3
2024-09-20 - 2024-09-22 | Schloss Hohenfels, Schloss Hohenfels 1, Hohenfels, 78355, Germany
The teachings “Dance Oracle 1 & 2” precede this training. Now we apply what we have learned in relation to and in service to a fellow human being. We don’t know what moves this person. We step empty in front of him or her and let the dance take shape in dedication to this person. By the person receiving the dance, this is often experienced as a mirror reflection of their soul. Known or unknown aspects come to light. A dance dedication usually has a healing effect on the person receiving it. They experience (sometimes unveiling) recognition and validation.
When different people dance for one person, different aspects come to light. In addition to what arises due to resonance fields that have a healing effect on everyone involved, both the dancer and the person being danced for, gain insights into spiritual laws and benefit personally, mentally and emotionally from such a dance dedication.

Prerequisite for this seminar is the participation in the “Dance Oracle, Part 1” or a previous individual introduction by Paramjyoti, live or online. Book now >>
We dance in dedication to a theme: We dedicate our dance to a specific topic. This can have a personal or a collective motif. For example, we dance with something that is currently causing us difficulties in our lives. Or we dedicate our dance as a prayer to a collective theme, such as “world peace”.
What we have learned in “Dance Oracle 1” serves as an attunement and basis. With an open mind, we dedicate ourselves to our chosen theme and allow the dance to take shape. This “coming into connection” nourishes us personally, encourages mutual support and strengthens our group and has a positive and transformative effect on the collective field around us. The dance starts to unfold.

Dance Oracle - Part 1
2024-05-10 - 2024-05-12 | Schloss Hohenfels, Schloss Hohenfels 1, Hohenfels, 78355, Germany
The world with all its phenomena is a great mystery. We cannot comprehend it. But we can ask questions and dance. The dance oracle offers a special opportunity to do so. We playfully combine body awareness with creative expression and gain the freedom to dance with what is. By connecting with what moves us in our hearts we allow the “dance of life” to unfold. In this way the dance becomes the mirror of our heart.
The Dance Oracle can be practiced on its own or serve as a foundation for subsequent courses. You can practise The Dance Oracle for yourself, as a dance meditation, to promote your emotional balance and mental calmness, or use it when you want answers to your questions. Later on, you can also use The Dance Oracle to offer support to other people.
We dance with what is: We focus our attention on body awareness and the breath. Listening to the cycle of the breath, we invite our body to move freely, carried by the flow of the breath. Everything that arises in the awareness of body perceptions, thoughts and feelings can flow into the dance. The synchronization of breath, movement and mind sets an alchemical process in motion. We become calmer, more balanced and more present. In dancing with what moves us we remain the witness to what is and stay free. Judgements, preferences, attachments and aversions may fall away. We are empty and fulfilled in equal measure. Everything that emerges nourishes the dance and this in turn nourishes us. At this point we are in touch with the origin of dance.
Seminar times: Fr. 10am-1pm, 4-5pm, 7– 9 pm, Sa. 9-12. 3-5 and/or 7-9 pm, Sun 9-12am. Afternoon and evening times might be adjusted, according to the the gourds needs.
Seminar fee: 380 Euro with registration till 4.2.24, after that 430 Euro (accommodation and food not included.
For accommodation in the castle and its neighbouring buildings please contact Schloss Hohenfels directly: +49 7557 929190, info@schloss-hohenfels.de. Breakfast is included.
