A rich programme of activities will be offered: from movement&posture development, and from TAI CHI to all dance styles – which can be danced in pairs or alone. Ms. Kaiser will also present rhythmic dances such as South American onces (bolero, salsa, samba and many more), and more classical forms such as swing and waltz. Tango won’t be an exception.
Groups and people with cognitive disabilities (accompanied by a chaperone) can sign up for special classes in the mornings by prior arrangement.

Everyone with a desire to learn more about Zen is welcome! Zen brought SILENCE to Posticum. Zen is a spiritual path, beyond dogma and philosophy.
“Zen is not a religion, Zen is not a school of philosophy, because it is not a theory. In fact the emphasis is on the order of life. What Zen teaches is precisely to be as broad as possible and as free as possible.”– Béla Hamvas
