What’s on offer
This festival is your chance to reunite with the greater Biodanza community and explore diverse perspectives and styles from around the world. Here’s a glimpse of the amazing lineup:
- Miranda van Keulen (Amsterdam, The Netherlands): A pioneering force in Dutch Biodanza, Miranda brings over 20 years of expertise and deep passion for the dance of life.
- Natasha Kern (Slovenia): A trailblazer in her homeland, Natasha’s transformative energy and profound knowledge will inspire and uplift.
- Merijn Ousdheuse (The Netherlands): This year it’s double Dutch time, as also from the Netherlands we welcome yet another old friend of mine from back-in-the-day (early 2000’s). It’s not the first time that Merijn is at Leela at the Biodanza Festival. He’s a lovely, warm, beautiful guy.
- Milarepa (Dorset, UK): A festival favorite known for his incomparable energy and presence, Milarepa returns to light up the dance floor.
More incredible teachers are being added to the roster as we speak, promising an unforgettable celebration!

Why Biodanza
In our fast-paced world, it’s easy to feel fragmented and disconnected.
Biodanza is designed to bring integration to the human being, harmonizing our physiology, emotions, and sense of belonging.
Through the Dance of Life, we regulate our inner world, connect deeply with others, and touch the oneness that lies beyond.
Since 2006, this festival has been a sanctuary for Biodanza lovers to gather, celebrate, and grow. Osho Leela’s vibrant community and beautiful venue provide the perfect setting to experience the profound joy of dance and connection.

Facilitators
The Argonaut’s mission evolved many new great friendships all over the world. And from that playfull space, I invited Niraj to hold some lovely weekend vivencias in Slovenia.
The feeling of lightness, joyfulness and excitement are present in me when I think about arriving to Niraj’s festival in summer 2025. It will be 20 years of our friendship and 20 years of my work with biodanza groups. So you will be in experienced hearts and dive in the oceans of transformative vivencias.
My passion as biodanza teacher is creating the space in our body where love and all the juices of life can flow freely and in aboundance – to heel the person and a community as a whole.
Many years ago Niraj asked me to come and teach at his festival and yes, now is the time. A 4 days gathering in ‘an oasis of love in Dorset countryside’.
I am really looking forward to teach inspiring vivencia’s, work together with biodanza colleagues and of course meet and dance with people from all over…
A little more about me: I love the transformational forces of biodanza. Since 2004 I teach weekly classes twice a week around Amsterdam, Holland. And since 2009 I am co-director of the biodanzaschool Amsterdam. Let’s come together! Right now.. this summer of 2025.
Save the Date and Join Us!
