Workshops & Trainings


In my workshops and trainings I bring together aspects from different body-oriented-approaches with tools from creative writing. These are spaces to move - write - breathe - write - stretch - write - feel - write - speak - write… and then write and write and write…
The aim is to explore and dare to try out different possible paths to move closer to and find expression for what is important to you: To find words and images that resonates with you. To feel at home in your body and to feel at home in your writing.

 

Happy Body, Creative Mind


What/Why: This short weekly training is a playful movement exploration to wake up the mind and the body and to experience the world with all our senses. Combining mindful movement and breathing exercises – sometimes with short reflections in writing and scribbles, sometimes with music, sometimes in quiet.

Where: Online over Zoom (immediately after - at 8:45 you are then very welcome to join me for Connection Monologues - 15 minutes Free-writing if you like)

Cost: 6 € per training - or 20 € for four trainings to be paid via Banktransfer (DE33 1005 0000 6015 6717 40) or over Paypal (info@hannanordqvist.com)

 

Writing in movement


What/Why: Sometimes we have no idea what to write. It feels like a blockage, a fog or complete emptiness in our heads. What is it that blocks us in that moment? Is it a sort of traffic jamin our brain or a collection of tensions in the body that blocks the free movement of getting the writing onto the page? How much control do we actually have over the words that we bring to the paper, and what happens, when we consciously allow ourselves to let go of the control for a moment?

This workshop is about exploring how we can find new inspiration, arrive at what we want to express, and deal with creative blocks through a mindful play with words, sounds, language, images and movement.

Write, Breathe, Sleep

Embodiment challenge to reconnect to yourself and what is important to you.


What/Why:  In this challenge am asking you to take 30 minutes per day for 5 days in a row, to do a couple of small writing- and breathing exercises together with me. I have consciously chosen a time late in the evening (Berlin-time), as a possibility to end the day in this way – reminding ourselves where we are and what is important to us, before letting sleep do the rest of the work digesting what has happened during day and finding unconscious paths and surprising solutions to the challenges we are facing. Or even if you choose to stay up later, giving yourself the possibility to use this half hour to consciously reconnect to yourself before going on with other evening activities. 

When: Check out the calendar for upcoming dates. 

Where: Online over Zoom. 

Cost: Pay 50 Euros get 25 Euros back if you show up for all five days. 

Digital Embodied-writing Space


What/why: 1,5 hour encouragement to write about anything close to your heart. Starting with a short set of movement and creative writing exercises to warm up for a longer stretch of focused writing. Shake, stretch, brainstorm and let your words flow onto the page. 

When: Check out the calendar for upcoming dates

Where: Online over Zoom.  

Cost: the first time free, after that 10 Euros per meeting. 

Connection Monologue


What/why: 15 Minutes silent writing online every morning - to collect your thoughts for the day or get a start with whatever you are working on. The aims:

  • to have a set daily time for a short writing in order to digest and have clarity for feelings and thoughts (-inspiration from „morning pages“ in Julia Camerons „Artists Way)
  • to have a peaceful shared room where it is possible to feel the connection to others, while journaling or working on whatever is important to you.

At the end of the writing you are welcome to join me for a very brief silent „freestyle“ stretch or shake-out to let go of any built up „writing tension or simply wave goodbye. 

When: every day except Sunday 8:45-9:00 am Berlin time

Where: Online over Zoom. 

Cost: Free and open for all.
