The Poetry of Human Encounter: An Introduction to Biodanza

October 10 @ 7:00 pm 9:30 pm

New World Ritual & Dance Facilitator

Biodanza is a form of human development that uses dance, music, movement and ritual to embody the deep humanity we wish to root in our selves and our community. It is an antidote to the less than kind, less than healthy, culture that we presently live in. Biodanza is an invitation for each individual to cultivate “Vivencia” – the experience of being fully and joyfully alive in the moment with our community. Biodanza encourages us to rekindle our connection to self, others and the world through dancing the simple and beautiful gestures of everyday life, including circles, walking, taking hands, encounters, hugs, touch, caress, witnessing, rhythm and joy. From the state of awareness experienced in Vivencia, we can weave dances of simple and profound presence. In Vivencia, we can open ourselves to passionate and blissful dialogues of sacredness, humility, and humanity. In the moving poetry of our encounters, we can rediscover the joy and profound grace of being alive… together! Biodanza is not about any form of proficiency. It is a personal and cultural transformative practice for everyone who yearns to really live. Biodanza is for proficient dancers and people who still think they cannot dance. 

Come dance with us!

$20.00 – $35.00 $35 full price, $20 for those aged 35 or younger.

Biodanza is an invitation to cultivate the experience of “Vivencia” — the ability to be profoundly present to experiencing life in each moment.

Biodanza encourages us to explore the gestures and embodied vocabulary of Vivencia, letting us rekindle our connection to self, others, and the world. Biodanza uses the simple and beautiful movements of everyday living, including circles, taking hands, encounters, hugs, touch, caress, witnessing, rhythm, and joy. In service to the experience of Vivencia, we weave dances of simple and profound presence. We open ourselves to passionate and blissful dialogues of sacredness, humility, and humanity. In the moving poetry of dance, we rediscover the joy and profound grace of being alive… together! Biodanza is not about any form of proficiency. It is a personal and cultural transformative practice using dance and ritual for everyone who yearns to really live. Biodanza is for proficient dancers and people who still think they cannot dance. 

Biodanza was created in the 1960s by the Chilean anthropologist and psychologist Rolando Toro Araneda. The Biodanza system is now found in 54 countries, including Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Czech Republic, Ecuador, France, Germany, Israel, India, Italy, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Uruguay, Venezuela, Australia, Japan, South Africa, United States, Ireland and Russia.
