Blind folded evening

An evening spent with a blind fold on your eyes.

How do you connect with the others, when you are blind folded? Is the connection different or is it the same?

All the participants of the workshop will be blind folded from the very beginning till the closing circle. Together we will explore different ways of meeting others. Meeting someone just by touch. Hearing someone’s story, without seeing them. Going for a dance with someone you don’t see throughout the dance.

Observing how my other senses do change, when I’m blind folded. How the sense of smell and hearing intensifies. Observing how much easier it is to turn off the mind, when you know it’s a safe space, and you are blind folded. These and many other observations might happen.

A journey inward and outward at the same time – connecting with the others without seeing them and noticing how different you feel.

Why are we doing that?

Because we believe that human connection is giving much more than any other, like f.e. wi-fi.
Because our neuronal system is much happier when we are connected.
Because there is a lack of connection in this world.

"Blind folded evening" is a part of a set of workshops called Human Connection. It is a set of workshops during which you will have an opportunity to connect with the others and with yourself. The lifestyle that a lot of us lead, “connected” with so many people online, leaving less and less time for present, deep and meaningful interactions, does not fulfil our need for human connection. Conversations, hugs, singing together, eye – gazing, moving as your body guides you, sharing touch and warmth, attentive listening – this is what we will explore together. Focus will be on different senses - sight, touch and hearing. Each workshop will be dedicated for a different focus.

What is the plan?

Every workshop will begin with an opening, introduction, meeting the others circle. Which will be followed by little grounding and arriving exercises, it might be a meditation, some movement, breathing or other practices to help participants to be present. The core part of the workshop will depend on each theme. At the end there will be a closing circle to close the workshop and share the experiences. Kārlis and Flora will take care of a safe and warm environment in which you can enjoy connecting with other humans.

Reviews from other events -

Eva Evaristo Valls Lozano “Space provided for warm connections, close encounters, easy going, and great atmosphere to open up. From games to moments of silence and deep connections. A great time and space to step out of the confort zone and to recognize, reflect and understand who we are in relation to others and ourselves. Sincerely recommend to try it at least once, you will probably crave more.’’

Emīls Alps “A great community with open-minded people that make you feel welcome at every event! I was concerned that I would not feel comfortable or open to anything at first, but the sincere attitude and great experiences have made me an avid fan of this community, the people and the events found here. I would really recommend everyone to take a leap of faith just as I did.”
