Description
Biodanza School – Open Weekend
The Biodanza School offers immersive Biodanza retreat weekends in Australia designed to deepen your experience of the dance of life, connection, and self-discovery. These residential weekends combine movement, reflection, and community in a supportive retreat environment.
You don’t need to be enrolled in the Biodanza School to attend. You do however need Biodanza experience of classes and workshops. This is for people who want to deepen their journey of development through Biodanza in a dedicated dance retreat and workshop learning space.
If you’re unsure whether this is the right experience for you, please contact kate@biocentrica.com.au.
“A Biodanza session is an invitation to participate in the cosmic dance. Our proposition, is not only to dance, but also to activate, through specific dances, affective and communication potentials connecting us with ourselves, with our fellow human beings and with nature.”
Professor Rolando Toro Araneda
