Biodanza & neo-shamanism
Unni Heim
Living Ecstasy
“Everything is alive. Become the dance of life, and enter the origin of wisdom, pleasure (placebo & healing), love and ecstatic harmony.”
Unni
It is with great joy that I invite you to this biodanza weekend workshop at Dharma Mountain.
Humanity has taken steps away from the matrix of life and our natural roots. To live in disconnect from our inner wisdom has almost become a norm.
However, we are all already whole. We are all already connected. The key is just to remember it again.
In our core we all have an inner wise man/woman connected to our intuition; a part of us that can vision beyond the structures, a part of us that is eternal, a part of us guided by love.
This part of us can archetypically be called or our Inner Shaman or Inner Healer, whose wisdom springs from integration & unity with the forces of nature. Nature has its own codes of insight waiting for us to come back to.
Immerse into dances and rituals nourished by the roots of ancient wisdom invoking sacred dances of transcendence and expansion of consciousness.
Welcome remembrance, regeneration, healing & love.
– Biodanza vivencias indoors & maybe one outside
– Drumming
– Voice
– Sun-rise salutation by the river (for those of you that are early birds)
– Bonfire if the weather allows it
– Ceremonies/rituals
All the core powers of biodanza will help us on this path:
– the power of the group,
– the power of music,
– the power of integrated movements,
– the power of contact & caress,
– the power of trance & regression &
– vivencias of all the 5 lines we dance in biodanza. The line of transcendence plays a central role.
Our aim is to generate integration, new foundations and health.

Who can join:
Our approach is gentle and non-cathartic /non-pushy, yet this is a profound workshop so we take for granted that you already have a basic understanding of biodanza and the powers we use as tools.
It is for you that feels the calling to connect deeper to the mystery of life and the primordial/ancestral/eternal wisdom.
You need to have a healthy relation with self-regulation/containment. You do not have any psychotic tendencies. You also need to be drug free.
Dharma Mountain
I have had the pleasure of holding more than 30 workshops, courses and retreats at Dharma Mountain over the past 15 years. It is a true pleasure to invite you to spend 3 magical days at this beautiful place. Situated by a small lake, surrounded by grasslands, forests and rivers, and surrounded by tall, majestic mountains, Dharma Mountain is a place for deep inner connection and restoration. The aesthetic expression of the place, with flowers, art and natural beauty, gives us the perfect setting to immerse ourselves in both nature and ourselves.
Food
The food served here is absolutely delicious – made with love and care. Dharma Mountain serves locally sourced vegetarian food. They can offer adaptations for those who need gluten-free, lactose-free or vegan options.
Accommodation
You can choose whether you want to stay in a cabin (either single room, double room, in the attic).
Most cabins have two bedrooms with space for two people (one cabin is much larger and has 3 bedrooms). In addition, all cabins have a sleeping loft.
All cabins also have a bathroom with sink, shower and toilet, as well as a kitchen.
