“Neo-Shamanism involves the revival of the ancient wisdom of Shamans, whose healing powers and human evolution stemmed from their integration with the forces of nature.” – Rolando Toro Araneda
Join us for a transformative workshop of Biodanza and Neoshamanism with Nenel Manuel Dias from Brazil. Immerse into dances and rituals nourished by the roots of ancient shamanic wisdom invoking sacred dances of transcendence and expansion of consciousness.
Nenel will invite us into a journey to access the primal energies of nature that awaken our essential nature and original links with life and love. This workshop includes sessions in nature and with live drumming.
This is a profound workshop and we recommend you have some Biodanza experience before coming.
