OŚRODEK TU I TERAZ / WARSZTATY / February 2020 / 14.02.20 - 16.02.20

Biodanza means Dance of Life. It is a dance of heart and freedom from South America. It's a system that integrates music and movem It makes a way to feel happy, healthy and more confident, with strengthened self-esteem, also improving the ability to make choices.

Our life is happier the better we have contact with our Inner Child. It is the Inner Child who embodies everything that is associated with energy, vitality, joy of life, fulfillment and spontaneity. It is a child's part of our personality, personifying joy and creativity. The level of our satisfaction with life depends on its condition.

Although we are adults, our Inner Child is still within us. Everyone has Inner Child in them, regardless of how old they are. The inner child is you, when you enjoy a visit to a new place, when you go to your favourite cafe for a delicacy or when you are exploring a new book in the bookstore. It is the joy of skiing, singing your favourite songs, taking a beautiful photo or receiving a gift. The Inner Child is someone in us who trusts, unconditionally loves, feels deep joy. The Inner Child would like to tell you that only selfless love will give you true freedom.

"We Can Only Learn To Love By Loving" Rumi

The Inner Child who’s accompanying us on our Journey of Life, tells us what is really good for us - through our dreams or a voice that appears in our mind at times when we need inspiration or we get excited about things which are important to us. Working with the Inner Child, his rebirth - may be the missing link that helps us to move forward.

The Inner Child is such a primary creative energy that when we are adults allows us to make the most of our potential. Sometimes simple experiences bring the greatest joy, and listening to your Inner Child allows you to get the most out of life.

"To live is not necessary. Necessary is to create." Fernando Pessoa

To create and to love are two of the most natural functions of the Human Creation, and these two things are as fundamental as feeding, loving or communing with the divinity. During this workshop we want to wake up dormant potentials or celebrate and expand them, if they are already living in you.

“Biodanza represents the primordial energy pattern of deep connection and freedom of expression, beauty, enthusiasm and passion. It lives through the original thirst that our species has of health, love, pleasure and well-being. It is translated by the impulse to dive deep into the world of sensations. It is guided by the compass that lives in our heart, connecting us with the need and the desire to give and receive love. It teaches us to recognize that love is an art, just as life.” (Cristiano Martins)

Life as the most Sacred of manifestations constantly asks us to reborn and become whole in a complete lovingness at every moment of our lives. The first step to take in this experiential Journey is to recognize that love is an art. In the same sense in which life in entire its splendor is an art. If we want to learn how to love, we should do the same things we do when we want to learn any other form of art, such as music or sculpture.

Biodanza is a delicate but deeply transforming work on consciousness which awakens for universal solidarity, based on working with the body, body movement and dancing.

• Integrates body, mind, emotions and soul.
• Arouses vitality, creativity, sensuality and emotionality.
• Teaches openness, joy, building good relationships and expressing emotions.

Feeling the connection with your body, emotions and energy, makes the transformation occur. These experiences are called "vivencias". They allow access to our primal emotions and help with the most natural expression of true self to emerge through movement.

Biodanza also strengthens the "lineas de vivencia", which are lines of vitality within five specific areas: vitality, sexuality, creativity, affection and transcendence.

Biodanza is based on psychological and philosophical research, dance anthropology and traditional rituals. One of the teachers explains the origin of the word "biodanza" from the Greek bios meaning life, and from the Spanish danza which means dance.

Workshop is based on personal, direct experience - individually, in pairs, subgroups or in a group of all participants. There is music, movement and dance to enable the creation of harmony and closeness in interpersonal relations.

Rolando Toro Biodanza System is a method that works on every human being’s potential.

It reveals various possibilities and forms of expression to us. It is based on the positive resources of each of us, according to the author's method - the creator of the system, prof. Rolando Toro. Her father is a psychologist, anthropologist, poet and artist from Chile. And since the 1960s, system itself has been distributed in over 30 countries around the world as a method of personal development.

„A man doesn’t live to dance, but dances to live happier”

Biodanza draws our attention into building relationships and bonds between people through eye contact. An eye contact is considered as the fundamental base of a beautiful and meaningful communication without words. This also helps to open the heart, transform person's needs and desires and to be ready for new experiences.
