Love & Sexuality in Relations
"I have phrases and whole pages memorized, but nothing can be told of love."
Rumi
Sexuality represents the primordial energy pattern of power, beauty, enthusiasm and passion.
It lives through the original thirst of pleasure and well-being of our species.
Its translated by the impulse to dive deep into the world of sensations. It is
guided by the compass that lives in our heart, connecting us with the need and
the desire to give and receive love. So the first step is the recognize that
love is an art, just like life is an art. Learning how to love is like learning
to play violin or learn how to paint.
"Oh world, when I die, there is one word I that I want you to keep from me in your
silence: I loved you!” Tagore
The desire to love, is perhaps the strongest impulse of human creatures. It is his
most fundamental passion, the motive that unites the human race, the clan, the
family, the society.
For the integrated human, bathed in the waters of this archetype, emerges the
vision that all things bind together in a beautiful, coherent and mysterious
way.
This creature naturally has an empathy for the world around him. We are encrusted in
a Western culture that values the principle of performance excessively, blind
to the functions of life, we urgently need an ecstatic incandescent fire, we
need exuberance, we must surrender to the arms of life instead of trying to
control and consume.
"Seeing the World in a Grain of Sand
Heaven on a wild flower
Have infinite in the palm of the hand
and eternity in an hour. "
William Blake
Our biological architecture places relationships at the epicenter of our life, it
is not a luxury, it is a fundamental necessity for human being. At the same
time, having a life partner seem like true Homeric adventures. How to be
authentically myself without losing myself in the relationship? How to find
individual and collective nourishing spaces? How to deal harmoniously with the
challenges that arise, such as the arrival of children? We are in the
search of answers to all these questions while the inevitable psychological
projections occur as the relationship progresses.
“Nothing is meaningful except surrendering to Love. Do it” Rumi

About Biodanza
Biodanza means Dance of Life. It is a system that integrates music, movement
and authentic relating to create experiences of intense awareness of being
alive in the here-and-now. These experiences are known as "vivencias"
(experiences).”Vivencias” are portals that allow access to primal emotions and
help the most natural expression of one's true self emerge through movement.
Its grounded on psychological / philosophy studies and based on anthropology of
dance, and traditional rituals of the celebration of life, Biodanza stimulates
community bounds, awakens to consciousness for universal solidarity, helps
participants to recover their joy and vitality, and celebrate the sacredness of
life. No dance experience is necessary.
