Free Your Dance!
w/ Constança Morais 
25 to 27 October - Lisbon

As our presence deepens

our consciousness and agency expands

we dare to go to disowned parts and avoided places inside

 unneeded layers flesh off

we let go of control and inner conflict

we become more wholesome and attuned with life's movement

we become more free

​

 

​'Truth will set you free', is written in that big book that us humans have been carrying and fighting over for so long. Simple as it is (we immediately recognize our essence when we touch it). Complex as it is (there are so many layers…). 

 

This course is an introduction to Constança's life-dance approach - a movement practice that unlocks your physical, emotional and mental bodies, supporting the unfolding of your human evolutionary processes. 

​

It is an invitation to come to your senses and root in the intelligence of your animal nature, which will guide you through a new understanding on the subtleties and power of life's energy and how it is revealed in your bodies and all your relations.

​

it is simple

the challenge is in keeping it simple

​

​

In this weekend you will dance a lot, connect to yourself and others and gain insights on how to:

- use movement as a tool to resource yourself and reach an embodied state of presence and peace; 

- dance the integration between paradoxes, bringing softness and adaptability to places of inner rigidity and conflict;

- cultivate awareness in the patterns that shape your inner and outer worlds;

- embrace what is alive in each moment (including the painful, the heavy and the frightening), breathe with it as it transforms and direct its energy to honor and serve life;

- find pleasure, lightness, fun and beauty in the midst of the troubled times we're living 

​

Hopefully, by the end, you will feel inspired and able to sustain a movement practice that support your personal life processes.

​

Everyone is welcome! Although no specific experience with dance or self-inquiry is required, you do need to be available to show up in front of others, dismantle old narratives and beliefs and expand the limits of your comfort zone.
