Deepen Your Dance
w/ Constança Morais
24 to 26 January - Centro Upaya
For a moment stop trying. For a moment let it go.
Can you feel life’s impulse guiding? Can you trust that vital flow?
This is an in-depth dive into the dance-life approach developed by Constança Morais, aimed at those who have already participated in any of the past editions of the "Free Your Dance" introductory course, or for those who regularly attend the Corpo Livre sessions.
In Free Your Dance we explored how to unlock the various bodies (physical, emotional and mental) through dance. In Deepen Your Dance, we contemplate what happens when we have attained a new level of availability, presence and trust to follow the path that the body opens for us.
For a moment stop searching. For a moment let it be.
Can you honor what is moving? Can you dance truth's poetry?
We will tune in to the subtle language of the body and let ourselves be danced, in that state of surrender, by our life themes. When we are in a deep state of presence, dance gifts us hidden treasures and reveals memories that are ready to be met in the freshness and redemption of the present moment, full of possible futures.
Let us allow ourselves to be found by consciousness... by the deep peace in the felt knowing of our body-nature-spirit... and make it our home.
