Theresa
Strasser

My name is Theresa Strasser and I am interested in bringing people closer to nature and to themselves. Specifically, this means that I work with groups on the mountain pasture on the subject of meaning in work. Up there, people experience the beauty, simplicity and tranquillity of nature. They get closer to themselves and to other people and learn to orient themselves towards what is their own.

What we do…

… give expression to our inner language
… strengthen access to our own intuition
… make the implicit explicit
… connect with unconscious knowledge and make it conscious. connect with unconscious knowledge and make it more conscious

What you need is curiosity for…

… a deeper connection with your body
… a form of intelligence called ‘not-knowing’
… familiarisation with mindfulness-based practices
… an authentic expression of yourself

What to bring…

… comfortable clothes
… tea or water
… a yoga mat
… anything that helps you to relax even more

The basic elements in each workshop are: Physical exercise, mindfulness practice, movement in stillness and music, different types of communication and feedback. In the workshops, we deepen our awareness of different areas of the body and use the language of the body for different communication formats.

Language of instruction: German & English

Seminar „contemplative movement – silence & movement”

I work with the acceptance of not knowing, stillness & movement.

You feel chronic pain or difficulties in your body for a longer period?  You feel tired from your all day life? You don´t know exactly what for you should stand up for every day? You kind of lost the sense for this period of life? Your feeling of yourself and who you are  is getting less?

This seminar is used to thrive you back into your body language. Your language of the body has a whole experience of life within. This wisdom is within yourself. In the seminar we connect to our own rhythm of life. It is a practice where you get to know yourself through moving your body.

Slide 1

Proseminar "The Inner Work of Social Justice - Mindfulness-Based-Student-Training"
Experiencing body awareness in a new way: Theresa Strasser's ‘Movement Meditation’ gave me a profound experience that changed my view of non-verbal forms of expression for good. Her calm presence and the special atmosphere of the room created a protected setting in which I was able to fully engage in the exercise.

Slide 2

Body awareness and non-verbal communication: The power of the ‘Stuck Position’ exercise: The ‘Stuck Position’ partner exercise was a challenge for me at first - but with every movement, my body became more expressive and intuitive. What was particularly fascinating was that my partner interpreted exactly what I wanted to express without words. This experience was not only a deep reflection of my inner conflict, but also a decisive step towards greater body awareness and authenticity. I would take part again at any time!

Slide 3

Theresa Strasser's bodymind workshop in Salzburg was a profound experience. As soon as I entered the room, I could feel the carefully designed atmosphere - soft lighting, cosy quiet corners and small creative details made the room an oasis of calm.

The ‘guiding body part’, where I let myself be guided without thinking, was particularly moving. My body took control, my head was allowed to let go. The dance that followed was an intense and transformative experience - with every movement I became freer, until not only my body but also my inner self was dancing. Sharing this dance with a partner allowed me to recognise my healthy boundaries, while the meditations between sessions gently guided me back to my centre again and again.

It was a magical evening full of appreciation, movement and deep letting go - more of this please!
