The concept of “Vivencia” refers to the “…intense perception of being alive, here and now. It is the intuition of the living moment” – Rolando Toro. There are five essential elements of life experience that contain the seeds of our potential for love, health, and happiness. These are the five lines of Vivencia, on which the dances/exercises are based and through which we express our innate potentials: Vitalityour vital impulse of life to face the world; our essential energy of movementSexualityto feel desire and pleasure from our own sensuality and natural instinctCreativityto awaken our source of spontaneity and renovation; to live with courage and creativity everydayAffectivitythe link with our instinct of respect, tenderness and solidarity; the communion of the heart between human beings and towards all lifeTranscendanceto go beyond our own ego to reach higher levels of integration within humanity, Nature and the Universe.Biodanza is a progressive experience to express all the lines of Vivencia and achieve greater levels of integration, within ourselves, our relationships and our community. |
