​What greater purpose do we have in life than to live it fully?

To live our selves entirely, to trust and follow the path as it unfolds,

feeling each moment and encounter,

learning and growing through every challenge,

giving and receiving in the generous flow of love.

If life is a dance... let's dance!

This group is aimed at those who wish to deepen their practice of movement meditation and grow within a community of practice.

On this eight-month journey, you will find your very own way to, through somatic and expressive movement:
- unblock the physical, emotional, and mental bodies
- drink from the "source" of wisdom inside
- exercise flexibility and resilience in the nervous system
- reclaim authenticity and safety in human connection
- overcome fears and dismantle patterns
- be alive, connected, inspired... and at the service of something bigger than you

In these eight months we will go through eight lunar cycles, 214 days, 5136 hours... and a handful of significant events. During this time, you will be part of a "clan," who will deeply know and accompany you. Together we will root in the relationship with dance, with the body, with each other, and with the vital web that connects us to everything. Together we will expand, die and rebirth. Together we will learn and grow.

From this time, you will take with you tools for nervous system regulation, authentic communication, emotional intelligence, body-mind alignment, art-life process... and, eventually, friends for life.

Program

 

 

​"A deeply transformative and creative experience."

Diana Duthweller

​​​​​

Our in-depth journey into dance-life consists of two weekend workshops and seven exploration and integration labs, totaling 60 hours of full presence in the body, soul and human connection.

Weekends (included)

The first weekend will be an introduction to the dance-life approach. The second one marks the entry into a new stage of embracing dance and relating to our body and our story. Click the links below for more information. These two workshops will be non-residential and open to the general public – this means that others outside of this ongoing group may also participate.

Dates:
• Free Your Dance* - 25, 26 & 27 October
• Deepen Your Dance - 24, 25 & 26 January
* those who have participated in a previous edition of the Free Your Dance workshop/course should also attend this one (as it is always different) but will receive a €60 discount on the overall cost of the ongoing group (see pricing below).

Times:
• Friday 6pm - 9pm
• Saturday 11am - 6pm
• Sunday 11am - 5pm

Monthly Labs (included)

Once a month, the group will meet for more contained and focused work. The labs are closed to this ongoing group only. In some, the exploration will be initially proposed and guided by Constança, while in others, the proposals and guiding thread will emerge from the group. We will work on, among other things, proprioception (the ability to feel oneself), expression & creativity, bonding & authentic relating, nervous system & trauma renegotiation, improvisation and composition in dance… and whatever arises from our curiosity and needs!

Dates:
• 27 Nov, 18 Dec, 26 Feb, 26 Mar, 30 Apr, 28 May, 25 Jun

Times:
• One Wednesday per month, from 6.30pm to 9.30pm
