Seeing my old friends gave me a high
With the new ones, I’ve been a bit shy
With “Tunnel of Love” I felt a shift
In the evening, I received a gift
I broke down, so my room mates held me
They are the sweetest souls that can be
In the first days, I had so much pain
But then I chose to not use my cane
I just knew, I had to go “all in”
Leave the pain, and feel what was within
I have some stuff I have to let go
“It’s Now or Never” to let things flow
The teachers encouraged me to strive
With dances that made me feel alive
My shaking started and set me free
Freeleasing some of that energy
Energy of what I mostly fear
It fades away when I have you near
Seeing kindness in all your faces
I thank you for all your embraces
With seeing Orion up above
I got the vision to “rise in love”
And on my journey in the new year
The memories from this, I’ll keep dear

In Dharma Mountain we started the New Year 2019 with our traditional Biodanza New Years Retreat that Unni Heim facilitated for the 8th time! The dancing and the rituals created a loving atmosphere and a great frame to let go, to heal and to start afresh into the New. Like the journey of these things began for our participant Kikki who wrote this beautiful poem on New Year’s Eve, and shared it with us on the last morning of the retreat.
