Theme: Opening the Chest & Shoulders - A New State of energy

Level: Open to all levels except absolute beginners

Location: Weteringschans

Some of the negative side effects of using a computer are that we find ourselves with frozen shoulders, sore forearms, and injured wrists. This workshop targets these issues with a special sequence of postures that opens the chest and shoulders, as well as the entire body. This induces an emotional sense of release, brings the mind into stillness, and the body into a new state of energy. This movement workshop is both challenging and very healing.

Date & time: Saturday 14:00 – 16:00:

Theme: The Healing Power of Forgiveness

Level: Open to all levels

Location: Weteringschans

Forgiveness is perhaps the most powerful and yet forgotten tool we have for healing ourselves. To forgive another heals oneself, just as anger toward another poisons oneself. Anger and resentment destroy our lives. For the body to heal, often times what is most vital is to heal the broken heart or spirit. Failure to forgive affects our stress level, power to heal the body, discernment, and all of our relationships. The first part of this seminar is a powerful lecture on forgiving others; the second part will address forgiving oneself. Max has taken the message of forgiveness around the world to a people of many faiths and nationalities.

This session includes:

· Lecture and writing

· Visualisations

· Simple breathing exercises

· Questions and answers

Date & time: Sunday 10:00 – 12:00:

Theme:Some Doors Open Only from the Inside

Level: Open to all levels

Location: Prinseneiland

"Genuinely life-changing."

"Turning point in my life."

"Major breakthrough."

"Highly valued catalyst in my therapy process."

Just a few of numerous comments of people having experienced a session of powerful breathwork with Max Strom. There’s a time for talking, and there’s a time to let our breath work for us and go beyond what we can rationally grasp to release our congested emotions from stress, depression, anxiety, or PTS. Emotions affect our breathing, for example: crying and laughing. But did you know that changing the pattern of our breathing influences our emotions?

An innovative method, simple techniques, and incredible results. The practices you will learn in this workshop take you to a calm and inspired state with new depths of insight. This workshop will include lecture, standing and seated breathing exercises. (not advised if you are pregnant)
