- KATIE STEVENS offers DOAIST EXERCISES FOR HEALTH & LONGEVITY, plus head and facial exercises entitled RESTORING THE LOOK OF YOUTH. This Chinese method, from the Huashan Mountains School, is based on stimulation of the Xiadan, the internal reproductive system; the resulting increase in the secretion of sex hormones is said to influence the healthy function of all the body's organs. When it comes to staying young, this make sense! (Note: These guys were monks.)

TaKeTiNa-Rhythm-Workshop “Adventure Rhythm”
TaKeTiNa is a unique process capable of activating human and musical potential through rhythm. It conveys rhythm in a way that people can absorb, understand, and learn in the most natural manner.
TaKeTiNa guides its participants directly into the experience of primal rhythmic movements that are anchored in the sensory system of every human being. In TaKeTiNa, the body is the main instrument. The experience is therefore direct, intense and lasting.
We recommend booking both workshops, but it is also possible to take just one. Cost: Two workshops, 50€, one workshop, 30€. Please book before June 5th.
The two one day workshops take place on Sunday, 28th june and Sunday, 19th July from 10:30 to 1:00 and 4:00 to 6:30 pm. Multilingual info, 619 622 044 or email: ankesiebenhuener@gmail.com, Tel 667 701 378 –
