Biodanza Festival

4th – 7th August

14th International Biodanza Festival with Niraj and friends

 

It is with great joy that we can announce the resumption of high summer festivities at our beloved Osho Leela.

After 2 years plus of isolation and separation it is finally time to gather again in the Dorset countryside and recover our essential humanity. Contact, caresses, embraces, movement, dance, expression, feeling, emotion, community, love, eroticism, playfulness and fun. As humans we are diminished by a lack of any of these. When all are taken away simultaneously we suffer greatly. So come and replenish yourself at the home of soul revival in the UK, the incomparable Osho Leela.

Superb food, fresh air, beautiful people, amazing music in wall to wall vivencias and of course, a wild dress-up party night, will make this event the highlight of your summer!

So book now!

Using the medium of Biodanza, a series of dance, movements and exercises that create space for a deep experience within oneself and with others. Each workshop is led as a vivencia, a space in which words are dropped and the deep wisdom of the body is entered.

Lenny Lencina
Lenny Lencina
Lenny is a Biodanza facilitator and director of the Ayün School of Biodanza in Spain. Many times he had the feeling that the simplicity of existence is being ignored. The greatness of life dwells in those small subtle and almost invaluable moments but all the wonder of existence is hidden here. He feels that nothing extraordinary has to happen to take you to that place of greatness as it’s alive in each one of us. Just stop and breathe to appreciate its great beauty. Will you join me in this subtle dance?
