Our August 2025 Open Movalogue Call call began with a traditional introduction round where participants shared their intentions and connections, which opened a wide space of perspectives, insights and feelings.
After guiding us into some grounding and stillness Petra introduced the word "Control" for collective exploration. Jennifer picked it up and led into a 15-minute dance, starting from a lying position and slowly transitioning to a standing sculpture. Participants were invited to observe what emerged within their bodies and the space.
Here are the discoveries that emerged from our collective body about the word "Control":
A feeling of defiance against instructions was experienced as the opposite of control, leading to acceptance and a release from expectations.
The insight emerged that embracing and allowing everything to simply be, even amidst chaos, can paradoxically lead to inner calm and the release of unnecessary control.
Life was understood as a process requiring constant "letting go," acknowledging the inherent limits of control.
A total loss of control, such as temporarily losing the ability to speak, could surprisingly lead to profound peace and the realization that there is "nothing left to accomplish," as "everything has already been done".
Control was identified as an "illusion," superseded by a state of being "held in the space of freedom and order".
Letting go and allowing the body to guide oneself led to a deep release, fostering feelings of support, love, and rejuvenation.
The effort to be "different from who I am" was perceived as a form of control; letting go of this struggle led to self-acceptance, joy, and profound freedom.
The call's essence was a powerful, shared journey into deep connection, love, and the profound liberation found in letting go of control and embracing the present moment.
Join us in our next Open Movalogue Call on September 16th, at 10am EST / 4pm CEST / 10pm Singapore.
Open Movalogue Calls are following an open approach to co-create out of the present moment. In case you love to guide into a practice, share a story or point to a specific topic please let us know and prepare to join 30 minutes before the call starts.
Thank you for being a part of our story, and we look forward to keep on sharing.
