Discovering Biodanza, in 2000, was like discovering an oasis, after many years of crawling in a desert.

Finally! A place where I could drink thirstily from the source of Life… and express from a renewable source of Joy!

At first, I sipped tentatively… with trepidation… just testing this new “miracle water”.
But, now, almost 10 years later, my thirst for rediscovering Life having been quenched, and the safety of my authentic self-expression having been re-established, I drink from its source, regularly, and (almost) without restraint!

Through my years of doing Biodanza, “Dancing with Life” - I have gently grown, blossomed, and flourished, in never-ending cycles of renewal and new self discovery.
In doing so, I have also found the exquisite bliss in “dancing my dance”… in a process that is surprisingly with “effortless ease”!

Continually “dancing my dance”, remains an incredibly powerful, yet soft and progressive, way of my coming to know - and become – my “Authentic” self… a self less bounded by norms, habits and attitudes that no longer serve or suit me… letting go of burdensome “baggage” to take pleasure in all aspects of Life, to rejoice with Life, and to allow myself to love all those that are part of Life, and in my life!

But, it is as a Biodanza Facilitator, that I am further enriched… I am constantly awed by the gracious blossoming of those that come to our classes; people who courageously find and “dance their dance”. Every week, I am honoured to witness the spontaneous joy, fun and laughter, the fluid new movements and the emergence of confidence, of people who embrace Biodanza and those within our weekly groups, in particular!

Through Biodanza I rediscovered my “Joie de Vivre”… as a Facilitator I am blessed to be part of the unfolding of the “Joie de Vivre” of others!
