The Maui Tango Intensive 2010
This 2 week Tango intensive on Maui Feb. 15th Š 28th 2010 is a total immersion course into Argentinean Tango. It is for people of all ages who havenÕt danced tango in any significant way before but are attracted to it and want to explore this wonderful exciting, passionate and challenging dance.
The dancing and teaching of Tango will be taught by world class dancers and teachers Natalia Hills and Gabriel Misse who are world class Argentinean professional tango dancers, performers and instructors.
There will be 4 hours of dance time a day and most of the rest of the time will be free for the participants to explore the wonderful island of Maui. There will be interviews about your progress in the dance and also some group sessions where we will explore with each other how learning the dance of Tango effects
your inner and outer experience. Learning the dance of Tango is not easy and it can bring up all kinds of issues ranging from dealing with your inner critic to gender specific issues like merging, autonomy, letting go into the lead of someone or taking a strong lead etc.etc. So this is not only a dance experience but also an exploration into your inner world and how you deal with the above mentioned issues. By understanding how you learn and solving the issues that might arise out of learning the dance of Tango we hope to accelerate the learning process.
Next to the dance sessions there will be plenty of time to have a vacation, explore the island and hang loose (Hawaiian expression), surf, windsurf, swim, dive, hike, or do nothing hanging out at the beach.
There will also be a daily Yoga class available for all in order to balance the Tango movements and training.

This event will be filmed for use in a future documentary about Tango. So by applying for the Maui Tango Intensive you agree that your process and your dancing might find its way onto the screen for other people to see and 
hopefully be inspired by.

will need a car, which you need to rent on your own (it might be less expensive to rent a car together with others).

The Diamond Path
a weekend introduction with Gawain
|
. |
Tango as a Door to Presence
with Gawain Bantle
Oct. 8th - 12th 2010
|
The Diamond Path is an orientation towards our life and living, that uses the spiritual discipline of inquiry, among other methods, as a means to align with our true nature and to fulfill the promise and potential of that nature in the way we live and experience our life.
This workshop is an introduction into the work presented by Gawain Bantle. It will give you an overview of the methods used in how to process your experience of life so that it reflects and expresses the wisdom of your True Nature.
Your true nature is who you really are. It is that aspect of you, mostly hidden to most people, that is connected to the deep web of intelligence, openness, love, strength and will, to name just a few of its qualities, that informs every atom and molecule of the universe. Knowing oneself as that deeply transforms how we live life and how we deal with all its challenges and manifestations.
These weekends are meant as an introduction into this path of inner work.

This retreat will give you the opportunity to explore the essence of Tango as it manifests in relationship with another and yourself. Tango forces everyone who dances it to be in the present since it is an improvised dance that can be very complex. Because of the need to pay absolute attention to your partner and yourself, it facilitates the development of Presence and Awareness as well as exposing barriers to these qualities. When you are fully present with your partner, it is possible to experience qualities of Being such as Intimacy, Openness, Flow, Love, Strength and Joy, to name just a few.
In this workshop Jeanne Hay and Gawain Bantle will use inquiry, meditation, and of course, lots of Tango to help create a field of Awareness and Presence. No prior dance experience is needed and you need not come with a partner.
Place: Bad Wildungen / Haus Ebersberg
When: Oct. 8th., 18.30 h - Oct. 12th, 14.00

The Art of Presence: Private Sessions
Gawain's private session work is about allowing your Soul to unfold and grow into its natural state. His intention is to help you open a path to your own knowing, feeing and sensing so that you can consciously cooperate with what really wants to flow and be expressed by your Being into your life. What is it that really brings you lasting happiness and satisfaction and what doesnÕt? Why do we so often seem stuck in behavioral patterns that donÕt seem to bring us any real satisfaction and joy? We will explore all areas of life; be it job related, relationship, spirituality, sexuality etc. and investigate what it is that your deeper Being really desires. There is a holy desire burning in our hearts, an ecstatic force and energy that, when awakened and encouraged, can direct our lives in such a way that over time we will start to embody and live who and what we really are.
Sessions are $85 per hour.
