Felix Metzger

Felix will be with us at Eutopia Gathering to guide us into a unique experience of movement, connection, and healing. Contact Beyond Contact (CBC) is more than technique – it is an embodied practice of mindful presence, physical expression, and healing contact. It blends Authentic Movement, Contact Improvisation, Passing Through, Qi Gong, Yoga, energy work, mindfulness, somatics, and the wisdom of Buddhism, Hinduism, and Taoism into a holistic integration of Body – Mind – Heart – Spirit. The body knows. Connection is the medicine. Presence is the dance. --- Felix Metzger, born and raised in Germany, moved to Athens after his Master degree in Sociology and immersions in different fields of art and activism.
