In a miraculous way the thoughts of the ´Concealed Words´ , already cited in the announcement, for me became truth: … Joy is an attribute of the soul and happiness activates the energy of a person. The mental charisma has an impact on the material realm and thus leads to awesome results…
In form and content the event was designed and interfused by the qualities of goodness, sincerity and loveliness which can not be done by human will. That this could become true is a testimony of the creative power of the women in charge oft he necessary preparations (Heidi, Daniela, Ulla, Barbara und Marianne).
For me as a participant it was not easy to make my choice out of the comprehensive offering.
A particular pleasure for me were the folk dances. Plenty of memories arose from the very first time with Friedel in the Demian Institute in the Netherlands.
Alfred`s speech `The Power oft he centre` turned out to be a magic moment! When an artist recognizes the artist in another person and values her highly for her oeuvre……/..when he is able to unfold the common ground and the differences between the artistic expression of dance and graphic representation…… Everybody who has witnessed this knows what I am talking about. Yes Friedel, I totally agree: just this lecture is worth the effort to become eighty years old.
We have been a fairly mixed group of 80-90 participants. There were younger and elder people from at least 4 nations. Nevertheless, again and again it was possible to experience oneself as a member of a harmonic entity within dance.
Furthermore the presentation of the new Website of the Fachverband by the project team was very interesting (Jeaneth, Mariëlle, Annemarie, Claudia, Ulrike) which faced up to the tremendous challenge going along with a new design. It is true: Only together we can manage to meet the demands of such a task. Goed dat er nu ook een Nederlandse en Engelse editie is!
What finally remains to be done is to gratefully congratulate on this enriching, inspiring event with such an excellent organization.
