Context

The necessity for this 3 day Seeds of Change bridgehouse came from seeing in previous festivals that people would have some processes and then did not have time to integrate them after the festival and a lot of the change that happened in the event gets lost by returning quickly to “normal” life and the same routines and habits. The opportunity came to create a space where people can take their experiences from the festival and ground them into reality by practising and experimenting in a team whilst being in a community environment.

The purpose for SOMOS is to provide a 5 body held space in which people can be in reality with where they are in their life and get tools and be a part of processes that will support them living their purpose and what they gained from the festival.

SOMOS is an Archiarchy Invention Centre, a place for adults to heal, discover and create from what is not yet possible, and grounded in radical responsibility. SOMOS holds transformational spaces for inner and outer regeneration. This year has been compact with trainings!

The 3 days will consist of 3 held process spaces per day from which you can choose or attend all of them. The spaces will largely depend on necessity, so make your proposals for what you want. We will more than likely cover themes such as radical relating, collaborative communication, experiments, processes that create and discover your own culture whilst supporting and communicating with others in their own culture. We will practise creating community and use non-hierarchical decision making. All of this will mean healing processes individually and collectively, so there will be space for that also.

Schedule

The first day starts 2nd and ends 4th December in the afternoon. You will be able to arrive from 3pm 1st December.

In between the held spaces there will be time for healing processes, experiments, building your own culture, practising any spaceholding that you might want to do when you leave.

Mareike Daniel - Feelings Practitioner, Possibilitator, Family Coach, Pollinator for Regenerative Culture

In my search for transformation I have found an abundance of possibilities and the practice of many helpful tools.

With consciousness comes clarity - I transform not to become someone else, but to be more and more myself. My being longs for this.

A daily practice of consciously living, in reality, here and now.

Anchored within my physical body, the earth under my feet, my heart alive with feelings and healing, my soul flourishes.

With clarity and gentleness I hold space for you to come as you are, to land in experiential reality, to feel and to be with what is.

And to create from there.

Maciej Tarnowski - Conscious Feeler, Possibilitator, Radiant Love, Man of Integrity, Aliveness Researcher, Time-bender.

I've been a programmer, a smart guy, an awkward person, a dancer. Currently I'm in a big liquid state about how to create what I want from my feelings and connect with my aliveness. How do I create what nourishes me and not what drains me. I realize how I often push myself to do something or pull away to avoid something else and how neither works for me. I also experience magic happening, again and again, when I stay in the place of presence - with no stories attached - and surrender to not knowing how it goes to create in a different way.

I also experience how valuable and important it is for my unfolding to have a space held by a person who is committed to me - without their agenda. That's what turns me on - to hold space from a place of love and commitment to empower you to discover, heal and transform. I care and am committed to holding alive spaces and to letting go of knowing how to get there.
