Welcome to beautiful Switzerland! This training is open for everyone and I will do my very best to please your language needs and facilitate the week both in English and German. If you have any questions regarding the registration please contact Sören , [email protected], and for where to stay and all local information Verena Schmid, [email protected].
Continue your Nia journey with the Nia Blue Belt: The Art of Communication where you will explore how to take the foundation of sensation and awareness you discovered in White Belt and expand it into deep relationship with the world around you.
FOCUS: Art of Communication
INTENT: Create intimacy through somatic relationships Embody the Foundation of Nia
Blue Belt, the second level of Nia education, explores how to create healthy relationships through body-centered communication.
This intensive introduces the next set of 13 Nia principles, which focus on the 4 realms of body, mind, emotions and spirit.
While the White Belt curriculum focuses entirely on awareness of physical sensation, Blue Belt applies these skills to explore internal sensations as perceived through - but distinct from - physical sensations in the body.
Blue Belt Principle #1: The Joy of Being in Relationship, integrates the sensation of Joy with awareness that Joy is something outside the self, which we can invite into our physical experience.
As a result, you'll begin to deepen your ability to listen with clarity and sustain awareness of details outside your body.

"My listening and communication skills have become so much more fine tuned with a heightened awareness brought to both. This has helped to improve my relationships with others, as well as given me a sense of relaxation and calmness never experienced before. I appreciate listening so much more!"
