Tree of Desires -a Biodanza exploration
Its roots plunge into the land of instinct.
Its trunk rooted into the power of action.
Its branches unfold in the infinite universe of encounters, promises, imagination, possibilities, and dreams.
It’s seasons alter between presence and absence,
Between what is being offered and what is momentarily gone.
Its abundant fruits have the flavor of fulfillment and pleasure.
It is the alliance between the forces of the depths of need and the promises of life.
Such is “THE TREE OF DESIRES” workshop. Exciting, no?
To support our growth, however, we need to know how to:
•Make the difference between needing, desiring and dreaming.
•Identify the nature and dynamics of our desires.
•Make the difference between expressing a desire and realizing it.
•Make the difference between the satisfaction of a passing whim and achieving a deep aspiration.
•Recognize our contradictions and our paradoxes.
•Learn to choose which desire resides deep within our instinct.
The objective is to awaken our potentials of realization.
…to stimulate our courage, our daring, our passion so that we may at the same time make clear choices when possible and surrender to the unknown.
Dancing our desire, we may free all its vitality and all the poetry of living. We learn how to cherish our own fruit.
Each participant will be invited to filling up his/her/their “Tree of Desires”, identifying the central ones. These will generate the “Star of Desire” and the dances will be proposed in order to “incorporate” their specific energy.
Rolando Toro says, “when I dance it, I become my desire”.
Come join us in APRIL 2026 for a long weekend of dreaming and dancing.
