‘Follow your bliss’ — Joseph Campbell
Alex Svoboda, the founder of freedomDANCE, is inviting old and new friends to celebrate 10 years of our love affair with Sundance at Bliss, our next retreat.
DESCRPTION
This retreat will be about the unique benefits of our practice that refreshes, brings vitality and unites the physical, mental and emotional aspects of our being.
Some people perfect their bodies working out at the gym.
Some meet with business and life coaches thinking through the decisions and designing plans. Some hide away from the world to meditate and calm down their exhausted mind.
Some work through their emotional challenges meeting with therapists.
And what we do is dance!
We are outside of the paradigm that forces us to focus on one thing at a time, whether it’s the body, mind, or heart. We have found a practice that works with everything in one go:
• The body gets a deepest workout. Even serious athletes who come to our classes notice that the dance gets to the muscles that they did not even know.
• Our mind gets an opportunity to rest truly deeply, and we connect with its intuitive side, the place of insights.
• All our emotions, including those that are normally suppressed, find their complete expression and release through our creative movement.
When we dive into dance meditation, our splitting into multiple parts just goes away completely. The dance restores and enriches the wholeness of our lived experience. And that is bliss. Once we get to know or refresh the sensation of bliss on the dance floor, it is easier for us to notice it in our normal lives and follow it.
PRE-REQUISITES
There are no formal pre-requisites. However, we highly recommend that you have at least 10 hours of practice and get to know Alex’s style at least in one of his events before coming to this retreat.
