“Matter is never without spirit.
Spirit is never without matter.”
_Rudolf Steiner
Sometimes what we call "reality" is only the thinnest layer of perception — a habitual rhythm we’ve come to accept as the whole dance. But just beneath this lies another world subtle, alive, waiting to awaken. Through movement and presence, we begin to tune into this world and through our dances become aware that this “other” is not separate. All worlds flow in the same stream of life.
In Biodanza, we awaken these worlds through what Rudolf Steiner calls the “supersensory” ways of knowing — drawing on intuition, felt resonance, awe, and connection. These are not fantasies or escapes from reality, but doorways into its fullness. The body remembers what the mind forgets: that life is more than what can be measured, and that perception is an act of participation.
When we dance, we loosen the grip of the known and soften into the mystery of what is always already here. A touch, a glance, a gesture becomes a revelation — supersensory, not because it is otherworldly, but because it is more deeply of this world. In that moment, we are not just dancing — we are in the flow of life itself.
_Christos Daskalakos
