FIVE MOVES® · Workshops for Companies

Change begins in the body.Not in the head.

One day with your leadership team. No slides. No empathy exercises. We work where change actually happens: in the nervous system. When you look in the mirror afterwards, your eyes are alive again.

The honest question

Your last team-building cost 50K. Did a single nervous system change since then?

Empathy trainings, mindset workshops, resilience days. Colourful cards, good intentions, nice memories. Three weeks later everything is back where it was. Because the brain understands what it should do. But the body still does what it knows.

Polyvagal research · Porges, Damasio, van der Kolk, Nature 2025

Prosocial behaviour is decided by the nervous system. Not by resolution. Skip that, and you're back in the old game.

The difference

Two worlds. One actually works.

The head world

  • Insights via slides. Discussion. Reflection.
  • Behaviour change through resolutions and commitment templates.
  • Effect: understood, yes. Changed, rarely.

What AI will do better tomorrow than any facilitator.

The body world

  • Locate blocks physically, in the room, in the body.
  • Behaviour change through nervous-system reorganisation.
  • Effect: experienced, not explained. It stays.

No AI can touch a body.

The method

Five Moves. One session per person.

In the workshop every participant goes through the complete sequence. The mind doesn't need to be taught. The body already knows the way.

Move 01

Sense

Find the desired feeling. Locate the block in the body.

Move 02

Crack

Open the protective layer. Safe, controlled.

Move 03

Allow

Triple yes. Body, feeling, mind aligned.

Move 04

Activate

Transform the block. The body does the work.

Move 05

Free

Anchor. 40 days of app-guided practice after the workshop.

What actually stays

Find a place inside the change. One that doesn't fall away.

I won't promise things will go back to calm. The world stays restless. But your body can learn to have a place inside that restlessness. That is something different from resilience training. That is the prerequisite for it.

For the individual

  • You feel again where you stand. Not in your head. In your body.
  • You can decide without collapsing in the process.
  • Your no has a location. Your yes an address.
  • You recognise stress before it takes you over.

For the team

  • A shared language for states: where it sits, how tight it is.
  • Conflict becomes information.
  • Pace from clarity. Decisions get a location.
  • Safety even when the outside is tipping.

What stays

  • A method everyone can apply themselves.
  • 40 days of app guidance afterwards. Daily micro-practice.
  • A body memory that doesn't fade in three weeks.

When it fits

Six situations where this actually lands.

If you recognise yourselves in one of these, a FIVE MOVES workshop is probably not a nice-to-have. It's the answer to the question you're already asking.

01

Restructuring is underway.

People are on the outside, the body is on the inside. Nobody says it. Everyone feels it.

02

Leadership transition.

Trust doesn't live in PowerPoint. It lives in the nervous system. That's where we work.

03

M&A or succession.

What's meant to grow together has to first feel if it's allowed to. Before culture forms.

04

Burnout signals accumulate.

More resilience training doesn't help. We work upstream, before resilience is even needed.

05

AI shifts your identity.

Who do you remain when your tool becomes replaceable. The body has the answer.

06

Conflicts keep repeating.

The patterns sit in the body. They can only be resolved there.

Format

Clearly structured. Tailored to your reality.

Duration

1 day

7 to 8 hours with breaks. Optional follow-up session after 4 weeks.

Group

max. 8

Small groups, so every participant gets their own session. Larger formats on request with co-facilitator.

Location

With you

Across Switzerland and EU, a room with space to lie down. Alternatively: our studio in Sursee.

Investment

approx. CHF 5'000

Travel costs by effort. Binding quote after initial call.

The science

Nobel-prize research. Not esoterics.

The method stands on four decades of research. Polyvagal theory (Stephen Porges) on nervous-system safety. Memory reconsolidation (Karim Nader, Eric Kandel) on how memories can actually be rewritten. Somatic markers (Antonio Damasio) on the body's role in anchoring decisions. Trauma research (Bessel van der Kolk) on the necessity of the body in any healing process.

A 2025 Nature publication shows: prosocial behaviour in teams is regulated by the vagus nerve, not by cognitive training. That is exactly where FIVE MOVES works.

Who facilitates

Andy Dittrich. Founder and lead facilitator.

Andy knows both worlds. Executive MBA, years as CEO and board member, most recently Head of Learning & Development at HOLCIM EMEA. Then the shift: away from talking, towards the body. Today he works with leadership teams, HR departments and organisations across Switzerland and EU.

His approach in the workshop: clear, direct, without esoteric vocabulary. When something works, it works because it lands in the nervous system. When it doesn't work, he says so.

Frequently asked

Answers, short and clear.

What is a FIVE MOVES workshop?

A 1-day workshop for leadership teams and HR. Every participant experiences a complete body-based FIVE MOVES session. The method works with the nervous system, not the head. Grounded in polyvagal theory (Stephen Porges), memory reconsolidation (Karim Nader, Eric Kandel), and somatic trauma research (Bessel van der Kolk).

What does a FIVE MOVES workshop for companies cost?

Approx. CHF 5'000 for a 1-day workshop with up to 8 people, travel costs not included. Binding quote after a 30-minute initial call with Andy.

How many people fit in one workshop?

Maximum 8 people per workshop. Small groups are required so every participant gets their own complete session. Larger formats on request with co-facilitator.

What's the difference to empathy or resilience workshops?

Classical workshops work cognitively: slides, discussion, reflection. Behaviour shifts through resolutions and lasts three weeks. FIVE MOVES works in the nervous system: change through somatic reorganisation. What's stored in the body, stays.

Where do the workshops take place?

On-site at the client across Switzerland and the EU. Or in our studio in Sursee. Prerequisite at the client location: a room with space for every participant to lie down.

What remains after the workshop?

Three things: a method everyone can apply themselves; 40 days of app guidance with daily micro-practice; a body memory that does not fade in three weeks.
