lisa firer 2024Stillness is what creates love. Movement is what creates life.

To be still, yet still moving—that is everything! - Do Hyun Choe Japanese Master

Biodanza, mindfulness and somatic movement are blended together in this weekend of dance, meditation and nourishing mindful movement.

Biodanza: an integrative system that combines movement and music in a group setting to support human flourishing.

Mindfulness: the awareness that is revealed when we pay attention in the present moment with openness, curiosity and non-judgement.

Somatic movement: Gentle conscious moving from the inside out to sense and feel the body-mind.

In movement and stillness, we will explore embodiment, self-expression and self-compassion. If you need to move, feel more connected and at ease in your body, cultivate vitality, connection and joy, this is the weekend for you. No experience is needed; all bodies are welcome!
