Deepening Sexuality and Affectivity

Friday, September 29, 2023 - Sunday, October 1, 2023

Sexuality is the most powerful energy in the Human Body/Mind. You know this in your own experience! Sexual attraction happens instantly, whereas the mental/ emotional level, getting to know or understand someone takes ages. Sexuality is also the most repressed energy in all major religions. As a result, culturally there are so many taboos…what is  OK, what is not etc. More recently, this repression has loosened. However, it has been ‘muddied’  by digital pornography. This has had the effect of ‘hardening’ the psyche, making people more distanced, imagining that it can replace real connection with other human beings! When sexuality is devoid of affectivity it becomes mechanical, robotic, maybe even abusive. This is the arena of sadomasochism etc. That happens when people are so distanced from love and tenderness, that they need pain to enter the arena.
This weekend retreat has been designed to expand and deepen your ability to explore your sexual nature within an affective and safe environment. .The weekend was originally planned just for Biodanza Facilitators and SUS’s (the first time it’s ever been proposed in the UK).
Several Facilitators will be attending, but not enough to make this project financially possible, especially as Melanie is flying in from Vienna, Austria.
It is now open to those with OVER 1 year of regular weekly classes and/or attending a Biodanza school for over 1 year.
This weekend will be facilitated by Melanie Delval (Director of the school of Vienna, Austria) and Altair de Almeida (Co-Director of the London school). In total they have been immersed in Biodanza for 55 years and training Biodanza Facilitators for 35 years.
Here’s a video Melanie made for this weekend
And here’s a video of me interviewing her about this weekend: https://youtu.be/MspcNoM3YNY
