1st Celtic Encounter of Biodanza in Ireland with Brendan McManus, Claire Lewis and Richard Golsworthy

Biodanza is a beautiful system of human integration, bringing together all the dimensions of the human person: vitality, creativity, sexuality, affectivity and transcendence. The location for this encounter, Ireland, is a place of rich Celtic heritage, including powerful places like the nearby Tara, Seat of the High Kings of Ireland.

This holiday aimed to harness the passion of the celtic past and fuse this with the dynamism of the Celtic Biodanza school, which has grown rapidly in the last four years under the direction of Claire Lewis. Richard Golsworthy and Brendan McManus were the tutor-teachers for the Celtic school, graduating in 2006, and both teach classes in Edinburgh and Dublin respectively.
