Share a favorite 'improv epiphany'

I guess my whole 2 years when I was part of the international cross culture theatre workshop "Human Beings" (http://www.humanbeings.it/english/index.htm) in Perugia, Italy, were an epiphany! We were meeting twice a week for an evening and it was amazing how people were slowly but steadily unreavelling themselves.

More about you: (Short Bio or any other details you'd like people to know)

I am a European Nomad. The meaning of my last name is traveler. In Czech the "poutnik" were old wise men, who traveled collecting and sharing stories.

I do process design & facilitation work for social innovation in English, German and Italian. My inquiry is all about how to innovate naturally: How can we design spaces, initiatives, communities etc. by surfacing and building what is authentic, meaningful and sustainable, and letting go of what is not serving anymore? And how to do that integrally - through mind, body, spirit and shadow work - and joyfully, using all our intelligences and talents.

I am facinated by the work with improv theatre and conflict resolution/reconciliation work. I would love to get into this kind of work!

I would like to design participatory processes blending my passions for improv based body work, story, cooking etc.

I need help with...

... not sure yet. I am exploring how to do the blending. I think I'd like to be in touch with like-minded people with different backgrounds to share and who knows, do stuff together?
