Chrysalis awakening and archetypes of transformation

Biodanza Workshop 31 August

at Balanced Yoga – Canberra

When the moment arrives to welcome a new stage an extraordinary stirring of vital energy takes place.  The impulse that the caterpillar feels to move out of its formlessness and into a shape to fly can also be awoken within us. It is an archetypal movement – found in nature and in all of us. In this Biodanza afternoon workshop, we will welcome this archetype, its stage and movements in dances.

Dancing the arising, the phoenix, the eternal return that happens every day when the sun rises and that lives within us all as a potential for when the conditions are ripe. Tapping into this rhythm of seasons and cycles. Welcoming the rhythms that regulate our energy, vitality and way through the world.

Our ancestors danced their dances across the world inspired by the organic movements of life. Today in Biodanza we continue the dances of humans across the earth to access the living knowledge inside our cells. Life is not in libraries, it is in us and dancing is a way to bring it out. We did not dance alone in the past and it’s good to be able to dance together now in this modern world so concerned with the individual. Together we can support each other through the cycles of the years and our lives and celebrate emergence and the eternal return of life in each other.

We invite you to a journey of discovery in 2 session of Biodanza. A journey to open what is ready to emerge for you in your life.

Some testimonials

“Have you ever danced until you flew? Danced so hard, so fast, so freely that you reach a level of overwhelming, ecstatic joy? If you haven’t you should – it can change your life.”  Mike Aldridge on Biodanza, Namaste magazine

“Can two and a half hours really make a difference to how you feel about your body? My experience is it can. … I sashayed over to my car, a big grin inside and out, feeling as if I had shifted and shaken loose something critical and controlling within. I realised how seldom I listen to my body’s wisdom and how often I override its needs and pleasures. If I am to learn to truly love myself, what better place to start than with my body?”    Rosemary Miller, Movement into life, Odyssey

“I’m feeling wonderfully relaxed and uplifted… I feel good and strangely optimistic about everything”    Geoff Dalglish, Grab a Partner, Mens Health

About Biodanza

Biodanza is a transformational dance practice. First developed in South America it is now loved around the world. In Biodanza dance is not about learning steps – it’s about moving experiences with uplifting music that awaken your potentials for health and wellbeing. Biodanza is a system of human development through dance, music and social connection based on life, the arts and the human sciences of psychology, philosophy, physiology and biology.

About Biodanza workshops

Doing more than one session of Biodanza in a progression allows for an amplification of the effect of the dances. Taking time out from your regular daily life creates space for you to immerse deeply into the proposals and explore more dimensions through the process. Most of the process of Biodanza happens in a regular, weekly group. If you can’t make a weekly class, a workshop like this can be an alternative to keep exploring through Biodanza. It is also a way to develop your experience if you are interested in doing weekends of Biodanza or facilitator training.
