"Self-awareness helps us to live our life from a totally different standpoint than the conditioned one we usually move from. Our natural state of being is to be open, letting our energies flow freely in and out. When lived from awareness, our life becomes a flow, a dance, a melting.
Different exercises, active and guided meditations as well as communication exercises were interwoven to create a flow of inward and outward energy helping us reconnect with the joy of our true nature.
As the fragrance of our inner qualities is love, this course will also invited us to bring a quality of love into our actions.

Biodanza is the "Dance of Life" and classes are designed to create a space in which to connect with and express our potentials of health, wellbeing and happiness.
There are five essential elements of life experience that contain the seeds of our potential for love, health, and happiness:
| Vitality | Our vital impulse of life to face the world; our essential energy of movement |
| Sexuality | To feel desire and pleasure from our own sensuality and natural instinct |
| Creativity | To awaken our source of spontaneity and renovation; to live with courage and creativity everyday |
| Affectivity | The link with our instinct of respect, tenderness and solidarity; the communion of the heart between human beings and towards all life |
| Transcendance | To go beyond our own ego to reach higher |

It is the gate where cerebral nerves and finest nerve tract, veins, spinal cord and spinal fluid take their way from the foramen magnum. Nowadays the natural balance is in disorder. Moreover, the gross defective position leads to problems concerning the whole backbone. Repercussions with muscles, eyes, ears, jaw-bone, nerves, circulation system, organs of equilibrium and interior organs are effected by a mis-aligned atlas.

The alignments were a great success with one particular participant claiming it changed his life - we all saw how he could now almost touch his toes after 16 years of pain not being able to go past his knees.

The evening ended with some group Biodanza in blindfolds and when the group opened their eyes they were lead into a fruit ceremony which was dripping with chocolate, honey whipped cream and more this certainly set the tone for a real juicy night as the party continued on!
