Libido Fundamentals - Open Floor Embodied Dance - 4-day Summer Retreat

Libido Fundamentals - OpenFloor EmbodiedDANCE - 4-day Summer Residential Retreat

Where dance meets tantra & tantra meets dance!

Open yourself up to the passion, lust and love for life in all areas of your life!

Dancing and practicing with the movement of sexual energy within the broader definition of ‘Libido’ as life force, birth place of creativity, vitality, presence and aliveness.
During these 4-days there is plenty of time to relax and thrive in the benevolence of continuous dancing, moving, experiencing and relaxing in being together in a closed group, at  a beautiful venue in the middle of nature with an atmosphere of lightness, space and tranquility.

OUR CREATIVE SEXUAL ENERGY is an essential part of the body’s natural expression and movement potential.  Libido Fundamentals touches the universal elements which relate to sense, move and increase the capacity to fully embody this life force in all areas of your life. 

From the first cells that evolve us into being, to the deep surrender of our last exhale, a lifespan is infused with libido.
Dance can awaken this potent energy in ways that can be electrifying, joyful, overwhelming, frightening, mystifying, and everything in between. We can access this vital energy of eros in a multitude of ways — in moments of deep play or quiet meditation, a tender touch, a provocative piece of art, a sexy song, a mature gaze, the soothing voice of a poet, the sacred words of a mystic. When this energy is acknowledged, supported and expressed authentically, the potential for healing is immense and empowering. We honor the whole self.

Through Open Floor conscious dance we create an safe, sexual positive environment to engage in this complex, mysterious and in-depth investigation with curiosity, mindfulness and compassion. We seek to understand how sexuality is shaped by culture, narratives, and social conditioning, and we explore ways to liberate ourselves as we move towards erotic wholeness. Because sexuality is so often underground, ignored, or unconsciously acted out, the exploration of this territory tends to be intense, liberating, intimate and powerful. The potential pleasure and beauty of this journey is well worth the challenges and the risks.

WHAT HAPPENS IN A WORKSHOP?
We explore this lively, sometimes latent energy of libido with curiosity and mindfulness using the Open Floor Core Movement Resources.
We open up physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual terrain of sexuality, libido and life force.
Next to intensive movement practice this workshop also offers related exercises, sharing’s, enquiries and specific information to deepen and integrate your experience. There is no explicit sexual content or exercises.

WHO IS IT FOR?
Libido programs are open to all adults regardless of gender identity, gender expression, biological sex, sexual orientation, or relationship status. We strive to co-create an environment that is inclusive, curious and expansive, and honors the experiences each person brings into the room.

For participation you need some experience with dance forms such as OpenFloor, 5Rhythms, MovementMedicine, Biodanza, etc. to deepen your experience. 
Libido Fundamentals counts as a pre-requisite for the Open Floor Teacher Training.
