Take the next step! Join the group!

The Level I program trains students in the principles of Spacial Dynamics®. For almost 40 years, this training has benefited adults in their personal and professional lives: businesspeople, teachers, therapists, artists, athletes, medical and social workers, counsellors, parents, grandparents, and many others have experienced a gain in their health, social life and individual development. Spacial Dynamics® can certainly be described as a forward-looking new social impulse.

The most important prerequisites for participation in this program include:

• The desire to move and develop; to take the next step.
• The desire and ability to implement and persevere through an individual program of study that includes practicing and developing skills, implementing creative projects, inner research, and experience.
• Interest and openness to actively explore the ideals of the multidimensional human being primarily through movement but also intellectually.

It is not necessary to be actively involved in sports to participate in the program. The participants come with very different experiences, abilities and from an age group between 20 and 80 years. They are all united by the desire to engage in space-based movement. Each person is encouraged to engage in the activities to the extent they wish to be challenged.

The goals of the Level I program are:

• To experience and improve the quality of their own movement.
• To develop a sense of movement and its effect on self and others;
• To gain an understanding of the anatomy of movement.
• To recognize the role of movement in spatial development from childhood into adulthood.
• To be able to experience, learn and apply the principles of Spacial Dynamics® in any activity;
• The ability to recognize, understand and correct problems due to incomplete or disturbed physical-spatial coordination.
• Improving presence in social situations, when presenting, speaking and working in leadership or public roles;
• The ability to teach and apply Spacial Dynamics principles in any activity - from individual exercises to group dynamic team building activities.
