Unfolding with Life – January 2025

Friday 17 to Sunday 19

Let your dance light your way into the new year in a nourishing and enlivening weekend of Biodanza.

It is easy to fall into the habit of pushing ourselves and overthinking and doing.  This can leave us depleted and block our inner wayfinding, leaving us confused and uncertain.

Biodanza invites us to recover a healthy instinctual base that can guide us with more joy, ease, confidence and flow.

This weekend is a precious opportunity to take time to experience this process. To release outworn patterns and connect with the inklings, stirrings and calls of new possibilities.

There will be nourishing movement, joy, playfulness and also time and space for rest, sensitivity and inner listening.

This is a weekend to fill your cup full and align with the flow of life as you open into a new year.

Whether you’re new to Biodanza or have danced with us before, this workshop is a unique opportunity to be restored and enjoy exploring new depths of inner connection and wellbeing.

What is Biodanza?

Biodanza is a transformational dance system that enlivens our potential for feeling alive and through movement, dance and connection with ourselves and others. Biodanza invites states of vivencia ~ intensely lived moments of deep presence and expression of potential. Vivencias that arise in Biodanza support our growth, development and unfolding.

“Vivencia is a moment lived with great intensity by an individual in the here-now. Vivencias are a doorway though which we penetrate into the pure space of being, where time stops existing and we are here and now forever.” 

“.. vivencias generate an overall sensation of “feeling alive”, evoking the intense perception of

being oneself. The methodology of Biodanza gives priority to the vivencia over consciousness. The exercises of Biodanza have a vitalising effect and allow the expression of the potentials of identity.”

Prof Rolando Toro Araneda (Biodanza founder)
