“Eroticism is the master key that opens the door to the pleasure of living.”
Verónica Toro & Raúl Terren

Our invitation is to sensitise our life with pleasure, joy, and ecstasy.
Eroticism is the master key that opens the door to the pleasure of living. Eroticism is not sexuality. It is deeper and more fundamental. We are talking about being connected with the potential of life and the pleasure of living it.
There exists an energy of intimate connection — an energy formed in the nucleus of chaos in the beginnings of time; it organizes atoms, molecules, and life.
Eros is born from this energy; its primordial function is to pulsate with life.
As Rolando said: “Erotic energy is the cosmic energy that generates life.”
In its most enchanting expression, Eros is manifested in the state of falling in love.
Eroticism calls upon sensuality to strengthen the desire to live and enjoy life.
Octavio Paz – admirable poet – affirms wisely that love can only be kept awake and linked to sexuality thanks to eroticism.
Sexuality without eroticism is a mechanical act with no creativity.
In this sense, the first flight towards happiness is to eroticise our life, to sensitise our life with pleasure, joy, and ecstasy.
From there, there can be Life!
Essential Eroticism proposes to deepen your access to plenitude of existence through dances, ceremonies and rituals of encounter where Eros manifests itself with all its sensuality, tenderness and enchantment.

A Biodanza Marathon
A four day Biodanza event is known as a Biodanza marathon. It is designed to give you a deep experience of vivencia – an experience lived fully. This deepens your ability to reach this state in weekly classes and eventually in life itself. And it can be a life changing transformation all by itself.
We recommend anyone undertaking Biodanza on a regular basis to include a Biodanza Marathon as part of their development in Biodanza on an annual basis.

We have a super venue – the Black Mountain Hotel. A hidden gem in the Free State and about four to five hours from Jo’burg!
