Description
Biodanza is a system of a deep, transformative and delicate work on personal development and consciousness based on movement and dance. It integrates body, mind, emotions and spirit. It stimulates vitality, creativity, sensuality, sexuality and emotionality. It teaches openness, joy, building good relationships and express emotions.
Biodanza is a real meeting - with oneself, with others, with the group, with the community and with Life in all its manifestations. It allows you to connect deeper with yourself and with others and enjoy the joy of the pr. It deepens contact with being present in the body, with spirituality, widens the consciousness.
Biodanza is based on direct, personal experience - individually, in pairs, subgroups or in a group composed of all participants. During the course we use music, movement and dance in order to create harmony and intimacy in relationships.
This dance of the heart and freedom was born in South America in the 60s of the twentieth century. His father - Rolando Toro from Chile - is a psychologist, anthropologist, poet and artist. Biodanza is used as a method of personal development in more than 30 countries around the world.
This weekend will bring you alive to all aspects of your being. We will awaken the inner joy within us, and remember what it is to really be happy with our totality. With spell binding music we ascend from the primal energy bodies, and our instinctive nature to a space of grace and beautiful heart opening, and then finally into a feeling of connection with the divine and the cosmos.
Biodanza offers us second chances. It brings the opportunity to change Belief and heal Self Esteem. This weekend is an opportunity to become the person that you know you could be. To re-parent yourself, with the assistance of the group, to give yourself what you need right now and to give your child and adolescent the affirmation and love that might have been missing in the past.
We dance a lot, but Biodanza is more than dance. There are structures and therapeutic encounters that give you the opportunity to develop yourself and meet others. This happens in the context of a musical journey where we begin and end as a group, in a held space of love and respect. You can dive into your sensual self and the sea of divine love experienced though the dance. Your empowered thrives here, where there is reverence and respect for the sacred in you.
The process will simple and easy for anyone to follow. There is no need to have any prior dance experience. You just need to be a human being who is willing to be open and go on the guided journey.
We will use beautiful heart touching techniques to rekindle our inner innocence. In a light playful way we reconnect with the love of life. We dance to inspirational and soul uplifting music, meet each other in the beauty of the fully felt moment, and come to a point of timeless recognition of the divine in each other, through love and the pathway of the heart.
We reconnect with the body through free dance and simple guided structures so we can move with openness to the music and each other, and allow the energies to flow through us. All aspects of the human heart will be encountered. We will remember and deepen our capacity to love and be touched by life. Gently and with great beauty we will reconnect with the bliss of life; and see the beauty in ourselves and others.
We use some simple techniques of caress to induce a feeling of affection and being loved. The physical body responds to innocent caress on a cellular level and nourishes it to a point of restoration and regeneration.
We will unburden the heart and break down the defence we have built around it, but in an ecstatic and powerful way, so that the liberation of the heart becomes exhilarating and pleasurable.
In life we can become guarded and closed, to protect ourselves from the painful aspects of living. We can become numb and disconnected from our feelings to stop the pain. But when you put up a barrier to stop the world hurting you, then the deeper joys of life are also prevented from flowing through you.
We will connect with all aspects of our bodies including our sensual energies. This is done innocently and safely. There is the opportunity to go deeper into your sexual energy and experience it's many facets, the fire, the passion, the deeper letting go. You decide how deep you wish to go, there will be no expectation or pressure.
The journey will be brought to a fruition by raising the energies of the body to a place of divine recognition within yourself and the others in the group.
It is a wonderful and euphoric journey that is the opportunity of a lifetime. Come and join us to experience how life can really be when we open our hearts to the beauty of ourselves.
What is Biodanza?
Biodanza is a shamanic journey of personal transformation, set in a landscape of intense joyful emotion, dance and movement. It is easy to follow. There is no need to be a dancer. You only need a willingness to move your body and enter into connection with the music.
We begin simply with meeting, connecting with the group, using fun games to unwind, to let go and get to know each other. We move deeper into dance, feeling the passion of movement as an individual and as a shared experience. From that place we go yet deeper with structures of encounter and connection to heal, explore and express.
Biodanza is about experiencing moments in time that are exceptional. It can create a heightened state of joy, euphoria and bliss. It is about movement of the emotion, as much as movement of the body. There is the opportunity to feel and express a whole range of emotions, from your passion and sensuality, to your tremendous capacity to care and love.
Through effortless connection in a group dynamic we expand our sense of humanity. There is the opportunity to bond on a level of deep friendship and affection. You fall into the greater energy of the group. Your capacity to love and receive love grows.
It feels like life is worth living, the mundane has disappeared and you are truly excited and happy to be alive.
Biodanza can change beliefs and heal self-esteem. You don’t need to know how or why, or even what needs to change. It just happens, magically, through a commitment to the process. Just arrive willing to enter into the music and feel the feeling, through a connection to your inner self, and the heartfelt presence of your fellow dancers.
There is nothing forced, you will always be at choice as to whether you are involved in any part of the sessions.
The connection to the group is of greater significance than a connection to any single person in the space. Feelings of love in the heart can become a real experience and not just a concept. Our sensuality and our sexuality naturally opens in this environment but in such a way as to be just one part of the whole, complex being that is you.
Flowing through all of the Biodanza structures is a reverence for the other, and a deep sense of the sacred. It can be a direct experience of knowing yourself as a divine energetic being and seeing the divine in the other.
Through the use of our emotion, movement and by not speaking, we take things beyond conceptual understanding into a direct, lived experience.
It is a meditation in movement bringing you fully into the present moment. States of joy and happiness are experienced. There is a flow of energy and pleasure throughout the body.
It is a whole new dimension of heightened experience to be explored. Feelings of isolation and loneliness dissolve, you are no longer separate, you are connected with everyone and you are accepted and loved for just being you.
The Scientific Basis of Biodanza : Healing on a cellular level
Biodanza works at the cellular level, it has been shown to strengthen the immune system and reduce stress and anxiety. It improves self-esteem and strengthens your capacity to make healthy choices. It is a system of self-development that is orientated toward helping you feel happy, healthy and confidant.
Physical and emotional trauma lodges in the body. Many illnesses have an emotional and psychosomatic basis. Joy, happiness and well-being can also be deeply embedded at a cellular level by the very same biological processes. This is one of the paths by which Biodanza enhances your well-being. Music and exercises are used to evoke deep responses in the autonomic nervous system, the immune system and to imprint your cells with positive messages of affection, love and well-being.
Towards the end of a class profound states of relaxation are reached. The parasympathetic nervous system is activated, tension dissolves, breath deepens, peace pervades.
Rolando Toro, creator of Biodanza:
“Biodanza came out of a desire to be reborn from our broken gestures and our empty sterile structure of expression. It became a way to share together what was marvellous”
