DETECT Training - Day 1

Today was the first full day of the project.

In Part I of the training today we began by an exercise which involved a non-verbal exploration the room to the sound of music. The exercise begins by small moves and through the influence of the music it becomes more energetic.

The next exercise involved exploring our body by having to focus on just one body part at a time. After which more exercises followed.

Today was about connection. During morning we focused on connections with ourselves, during afternoon it was about connection with the others. During whole day we lived strong feelings, connections, harmonies and disharmonies.

We had a chance to discover what means to connect to each other through touch instead of words. Some of us needed to cross their comfort zone by letting other participants to come closer than they would usually accept.

We enjoyed the mixture of different art activities : drawing and dancing, and finished our day by group discussions about our desires and hopes for this training.

We look forward for Day 2 full of shared sweat
