SUMMARY:Biodanza School of Australia - 1 Biodanza: Definition and Theoretical Model
DESCRIPTION:This first module of the Human Development Course open to everyone – which is also the first part of the Biodanza Facilitator Training – offers a comprehensive understanding of the Biodanza system.  It will be presented by internationally renowned Biodanza instructors Irene Franco and José Neves (vice-president of the International Biodanza Federation). \nA few sentences from Rolando Toro Araneda\, creator of Biodanza\, extracted from this first module workbook are part of his invitation to (re)connect to oneself\, to others and to the vast mystery of life: \n“What we need to live is a feeling of intimacy\, of transcendence\, of joyful connection and of stimulating happiness.” \n“Faced with the abyss created by human contradictions\, I felt a desire to conquer paradise\, a shared paradise.  I could not conceive of a solitary evolution.  I wanted to find the source of original love.” \n“To celebrate the presence of the other\, exalting it in the essential charm of the encounter is\, perhaps\, the only healthy possibility.” \n“Vivencias are a doorway through which we enter the pure space of being\, where time ceases to exist and where we are here and now\, forever.” \nWe look forward to share and enjoy with you the beauty of our humanity.

SUMMARY:EXISTENTIAL CREATIVITY - THE INFINITE PROJECT
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to one of several workshops by internationally respected Biodanza Teachers coming from Europe to Australia!\nThis is a very special opportunity for those curious and open to Biodanza and also those who have been coming for many years. There are no steps required … just a willingness to show up and be celebrated as yourself! \nThe THEME will follow this invitation …\nAs one creates a universe\, one creates existence. Existential creativity reflects humanity’s unique search for purpose and meaning and the need to confront essential questions as the three main consummatory options: What do I want to do? Where do I want to live? Who do I want to live with? \nIn order to embrace our lives as our very own\, to free ourselves from social expectations or habit\, we may need to exercise invention. Only creatively can we envision new paths or interpret familiar aspects of life in new ways\, making our life a work of art. \nTicket: https://www.trybooking.com/DIJGF\nFb event: https://www.facebook.com/share/1Cdq8sCTyb/ \nABOUT OUR FACILITATORS \nIrene Sofia Franco and José Neves are Biodanza Didactic Teachers in Oeiras\, Portugal\, and Directors of the Algarve Biodanza SRT School (Portugal)\, providing training in 20 countries around the world. \nPassionate about life\, dance\, music\, nature\, travel and art\, they have immersed themselves deeply in various areas and approaches to human development. \nFrom the colourful complexity of India to the profound complexity of the Amazon rainforest and its traditions\, all of this has inspired and fuelled the growth of their work with Biodanza\, namely with Biodanza and Neo-Shamanism (an extension of which they are trainers\, as well as the Minotaur Project Extension). \nThey have been a couple for almost 40 years and parents for 23 years. \nThey have been developing various Biodanza workshops on relationships\, such as ‘The field between us’\, ‘Passion\, Love and Intimacy’\, ‘Biodanza for couples’\, as well as Biodanza and Neo-Shamanism: ‘Light and Shadow’\, ‘Ecstasy Laboratory’ and ‘Dances of Ecstasy’ and “The Prayer of the Body” (Biodanza\, Music\, Voice and Percussion).\nIrene Franco actively participated in the creation and consolidation of the ‘Portuguese Association of Biodanza Facilitators’ and José Neves is the former president of the ‘International Biodanza Federation’.\nAs an expression of her creativity\, Irene Franco restores and paints antique furniture\, and José Neves enjoys drawing and writing\, having already published three books.

SUMMARY:THE HUMAN COMMUNITY - OUR ECOLOGICAL HOME (session 2)
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to this mini workshop\, which is open to new and long time Biodanza participants..  The two sessions are unique on the same extensive theme. You are welcome to join us for session 1 in the morning in Brunswick Heads (NSW) but it is not a prerequisite. \nThe THEME is one of Love and connection as the keys which unite us to our human loving geometry. The biological drive for cooperation\, integration and solidarity derives from the conservation instincts of the species. In human beings\, it manifests in altruistic feelings that are in the genesis of love. \nIn the synchronised pulsation of moving bodies\, love takes shape\, revealing the unity that lives in us\, a living force that generates us\, supports us\, and transforms us. \nAll information & Tickets: https://www.trybooking.com/DIJGC\nFb event: https://www.facebook.com/share/17cjPKsnQm/ \nABOUT OUR FACILITATORS \nIrene Sofia Franco and José Neves are Biodanza Didactic Teachers in Oeiras\, Portugal\, and Directors of the Algarve Biodanza SRT School (Portugal)\, providing training in 20 countries around the world. \nPassionate about life\, dance\, music\, nature\, travel and art\, they have immersed themselves deeply in various areas and approaches to human development. \nFrom the colourful complexity of India to the profound complexity of the Amazon rainforest and its traditions\, all of this has inspired and fuelled the growth of their work with Biodanza\, namely with Biodanza and Neo-Shamanism (an extension of which they are trainers\, as well as the Minotaur Project Extension). \nThey have been a couple for almost 40 years and parents for 23 years. \nThey have been developing various Biodanza workshops on relationships\, such as ‘The field between us’\, ‘Passion\, Love and Intimacy’\, ‘Biodanza for couples’\, as well as Biodanza and Neo-Shamanism: ‘Light and Shadow’\, ‘Ecstasy Laboratory’ and ‘Dances of Ecstasy’ and “The Prayer of the Body” (Biodanza\, Music\, Voice and Percussion). \nIrene Franco actively participated in the creation and consolidation of the ‘Portuguese Association of Biodanza Facilitators’ and José Neves is the former president of the ‘International Biodanza Federation’. \nAs an expression of her creativity\, Irene Franco restores and paints antique furniture\, and José Neves enjoys drawing and writing\, having already published three books.

SUMMARY:Biodanza and Creativity
DESCRIPTION:A Biodanza and Creativity weekend workshop merges all the wonderful elements of a regular Biodanza session with many different forms of creative play.\n\nWhat can you expect from this workshop?\nA Biodanza and Creativity session can be a first step or a deepening of yourself toward authentic\, profound contact with your own identity and latent creative capacities. Your creative energy can then ripple into your life\, being expressed in everyday activities\, in solving problems and dreaming your life into existence or in enjoyable moments of art.\nThis workshop creates a supportive space for the expression of your natural\, innocent creative impulses\, enabling your creativity to emerge and potential restrictions of your creativity to be freed.\n\nHow does Rolando Toro\, creator of Biodanza\, see Creativity?\nCreativity is at the core of the evolution of the Universe – in constant change and creation. Human creativity could be considered an extension of those same Universal forces. In human beings we experience it as an impulse of innovation\, inspiring us to transform our reality and experience of our life. When we create something\, it is an expression of the Universe and Life living through Us. We are at the same time the Message\, the Creature and the Creator.\n\nFormat of the weekend\nThe weekend workshop is composed of four sessions of approximately 2 hours each\, two sessions per day. There will be a break in between those sessions to eat together\, connect and rest.\nEach session starts with specific Biodanza dances which are designed to take you into a relaxed state of sensitive perception and inspire your creative potential. It then unfolds with an invitation to spontaneously and informally express yourself through experiences that use various forms of artistic expression.\nAlthough this workshop is not residential\, we encourage you to find space to stay connected to yourself as much as possible during the weekend.

In 2000 this love for dance culminated with the discovery of Biodanza\, which invites participants to “be danced” by life\, from an intimate feeling of being fully alive in the moment.\nAfter a few years of facilitating Biodanza in Europe\, Catherine initiated the Biodanza movement in Australia in 2007 and the Biodanza School of Australia in 2011.\nCatherine also offers various therapeutic modalities including Clinical Hypnotherapy\, Voice Dialogue\, Energetic Treatments\, Meditation and Cranio-Sacral therapy.\nMore about Catherine\nhttps://biodanza.com.au/facilitators/catherine/\nMore about Biodanza on our national website: https://biodanza.com.au\n\nA special word from Catherine\nI am happy and excited to offer this workshop of Biodanza and Creativity to you in Canberra.
