- WHO I AM NOW, how do I possibly feel the presence of the WARRIOR and of the ANGEL in me?- How do I experience this fundamental polarity of the human behaviour: do I feel easily CONNECTED to one side of the polarity or to both sides?
- Am I satisfied with my present EMOTIONAL BALANCE, or would I like to improve it?
* If any of these questions resonates in you, this workshop is an opportunity to sense and express through movement and dances these two fundamental ARCHETYPES of MANKIND: as archetypes, uncounscious patterns of behaviour, the Warrior and the Angel can have an impact on our emotional life, if we are not aware of their presence!
* They are in fact universal behavior patterns: we could say that they are the psychological counterpart of the instincts, like a "DNA of the human soul". We recognize them in dreams, in the artistic images and in the story patterns that arise in similar ways in all human societies.
* For example the archetype of the Warrior is functioning in us and is evident when we are: determined, achievement-oriented, focused, demonstrating a winning attitude, motivating others to achieve their goals. And the archetype of the Angel when we are sensitive, empathic, protective, when we love support humans in need and see the best in people.
* There are plenty of “Warriors” and “Angels” in the Arts (paintings, myths, fairy tales, movies…), and we can easily study them from a cultural point of view. The invitation of Biodanza is to take a further step and TRY TO DANCE THEM, in order to feel, express and embody their qualities.
* The creator of the Biodanza system, Rolando Toro Araneda, had in fact already in the 70ies accepted and developed the vision of the eminent psychologist Carl Gustav Jung, who first investigate and identified many archetypes. Jung saw that, as innate patterns, archetypes ARE INEXTRICABLY LINKED TO THE BODY: body and psyche are not split but rather exist on an intertwined continuum, and we can both represent archetypes as mental images AND FEEL, SENSE them in MOTION. While dancing we can intuitively connect with our most resonating archetypal pattern of the moment, play with it, and try to integrate it with its opposite… While experimenting in motion, we can slightly adjust our patterns of behaviour and ENRICH OUR IDENTITY…
* That’s why we are inviting you to a day of EXPERENTIAL LEARNING where we will talk and dance, shifting from UNDERSTANDING into INTUITION and into EMBODYMENT.
DURING THE WORKSHOP WE WILL:
1) Brefly explain the Junghian theory of the archetypes, and how Jung's though has been traslated by the Biodanza system in an extensive set of archetypal dances;
2) Introduce the Warrior and the Angel, as brilliantely described by junghian author Carol S. Pearson in her book “Awakening the Heros Within”;
3) Explore the Warrior in us - 1st session of Biodanza;
4) Share a convivial lunch, and allow some time for resting;
5) Explore the Angel in us - 2nd session of Biodanza;
4) Take the time for final sharings.
* Biodanza approach to movement is experiential and non-technical, and dance background is not needed: the workshop is an invitation to unleash differents aspects of our identity, and to AWAKE our INNER STRENGHT of WARRIORS while STAYING in our HEARTS of ANGELS!
