Autonomy And Connectedness from A Neuroscientific Perspective
Prof. Dr. Joachim Bauer (DE)
Human newborns are precious beings provided with the full human dignity. They experience feelings, e. g. satisfaction or pain. However, they cannot (yet) call a "Self" their own. The brain region where the "Self Networks" will develop along the first months of life is biologically still immature at birth. So, how does the "Self" find its way into the infantile brain? The "Self" owes its emergence resonances happening between the infant and his or her attachment figures. Interpersonal resonances are not only of significance for the emergence of the "Self", but also for its preservation througout life.8 pm - 9.30 pm

Program for the 2nd festival day
8 am - 9 am
The Poetry of Inner Movement
SHIBASHI and Trauma-Sensitive Qi Gong to start the morning
Paki E. Heisserer (CH)Paki E. Heisserer leads through a series of 18 movements to support inner and outer balance. They are linked with the 5 elements for neutralizing the 5 organ energies from the holistic health system of Qi Gong and also with aspects from SOMATIC EXPERIENCING (SE) by Peter A. Levine.
The name "SHIBASHI" consists of the two syllables "SHI" and "BA". "SHI" is another spelling for "QI" and already in ancient China it meant on the one hand the number 10 and on the other hand it comprised several modern terms into one: "air, breath, vapor, vitality, life energy, spirit". "BA" also means "and, more" and stands for the (female) number eight - which in Taoist symbol systems is an image of cosmic wholeness. Loosely translated, therefore, the name SHIBASHI means something like "the 18 qi exercises" or "the life force that flows in wholeness".10 am - 1 pm and 3 pm - 6.15 pm
Me - You - We in Life and in Spiritual Development
Marianne Bentzen (DK)Life requires a delicate skill of us. At the beginning of our lives, everything that we do is in the body, with the body – and done with others. Somehow, out of that process we develop a sense of ‘me’. Also, everything that the others do becomes part of how we expect the world to be in the future. This back-and-forth dialogue of me and you allows us to develop a sense of being-together, a sense of shared flow or WE – US. This We/Us feeling determines how love affairs develop, how culture develops and also how deeper spiritual meetings develop.
On this day, we will learn and practice some of the early steps in this developmental process, take a quick look at the cultural aspect and try one of the spiritual practices that rest on it.8 pm - 9.30 pm

On the fourth day we will look at how the different approaches and perspectives of the three speakers can be combined with each other. This happens in the spirit of the Open Space idea with complementary ideas and also by means of practical and playful discovery between the lecturers and the audience. The fourth day of the festival is always a day of surprise and integration - and an important completion of the three approaches to the title theme. The aim is to network knowledge that has already been presented or brought in in order to pass it on with a visionary attitude.
The Education Festival is part of the culture of the summer festivals, which have enriched the music, film and theatre sectors enormously since the 1970s. Education was long forgotten and continued to take place in a rather joyless environment. This is where the idea of the education festival as a supplement to the festival culture and the field of learning comes in. First and foremost, education should be fun and be characterized by motivation, curiosity and the spirit of discovery. Voilà!
