DANCE: flow...slow...glow

“And the trees dance in the wind

- not because it looks good for us

- but because they are alive."

_Rolando Toro Araneda

The quality of our movements has a direct impact on the existential dimension of our dance. For example, to be fluid means involving the whole body in sensitive, gliding movements that evoke a subtle tactile connection with the air around us. Slowing down—decelerating movement—leads to organic harmonisation. In this slowing, we awaken not only a deep interiority—a connection with the sensations and feelings emanating from our body—but also a sense of cosmic integration that opens the way to a vivencia of ecstasy.

When we are connected to our fluidity, rigidity dissolves, allowing us to access feelings of flexibility and resilience. Through these dances, we learn how to conserve our resources and energies, engaging with life not as a battle of resistance but as a flowing encounter. To give way is a profound strength, and fluidity offers pathways to move around life’s obstacles without losing vitality, passion, or determination.

Fluidity is a quality of the element of water, which alchemically represents dissolution. Psychologically, the dances of fluidity help us find the power to resolve emotions and feelings that would best dissolve—creating a solution, both literally and metaphorically.
