Connection and presence

Biodanza Workshop 5 October

at Balanced Yoga – Canberra

An invitation to dance new stories of relating and move closer to the quality of connections that nourish, support and bring you joy.

Developing our ability to create healthy bonds and links with ourselves, others and life is at the heart of the Biodanza system.  Biodanza involves music, dance and experiential exercises that support the release and re-writing of your stories of relating within your body and this creates a lived sense of acceptance and possibility.

In this Biodanza workshop we will nourish the instinctual roots of relating. With subtle, progressive and powerful integrative dances and exercises we will offer the space to feel and express your capacity for fulfilling connections and presence.

When there are challenging events and moments in life it can feel easier to withdraw to feel safe. But what if connection could help us feel even more safe in the world? Imagine creating the connections that are positive eco-factors that help us thrive.

As influential psychologist Gabor Mate invites us to reflect “Safety is not the absence of threat but the presence of connection”  and as Rolando Toro, the Biodanza founder shared – “Our identity reveals itself in the presence of others”. We can learn and develop our ability to have this presence with ourselves and each other and that is what this workshop is designed to encourage and support.

We invite you to a journey towards this in two session of Biodanza in an afternoon to open new pathways for relationships and support.

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.
