HEALING DANCE
Big health problems came in my life. The story is too long to write in this article and very personally and may be you are not so interested in these details. Then I had the feeling that I had to go away for a few days with my husband and on the map we choose. Now afterwards we know that we did not choose, but that it had to be. We believe that we are guided and that things are happening when it is time. We came in a little place in the South of Germany and met there during a walk a woman who invited to partecipate in a weekend nature and dance. This was my second birthday. The birthday of the dance who is filling now my life. The voice I heart nearly death that I don't had to die then I had another mission, was the missions of the dance. I did a lot of trainings/formation with several teachers in Holland and Germany: Sacre dance. Natural dance with gestuality and meditations in movement, Bachflowerdances and so on. During my stay in Holland I partecipate in courses from a psychiatre who connect dancetherapy with meditation, visualisation and meditative dances.  You will ask what is she doing with all these. At
this moment I work with people in training courses: one basis year in
Bachflowerdances and then you can go deeper in it the year after. I will
explain more about BACHFLOWERDANCES. Anastasia Geng, now
after an ictus in bed unable to walk (she is now 80 years old) is a woman of
the Baltic republics. She came after the second world war to Germany. There
she was teaching the folk dances of the Baltic republics who are connected
most of them with flowers, trees. The story tell that the persons of the
Baltic Republics survived the repression of the Russians due to their dances
and love to nature. The last 15 years she became messages in dreams and
through sensations and so little by little BACHFLOWERS were connected
with MUSIC OF THE BALTIC REPUBLICS. I worked a
lot with Anastasia, she was one of my first teachers. Now I am teaching
Bachflowerdances in Brazil, Italy and Holland. Did now research to go deeper
into it. So I start teach the Bachflowerdance from Anastasia., then I look the
quality of the soul of the Bachflower. For what it is used: example to make it
easier,; quality of the soul for person who need ELM: responsibility.
Personality: altruistic, he is identifying himself too much with his roll .
Emotional state: nervous breakdown, momentary feelings of inadequate. So I
work with GESTUALITY on the momentary emotional state, then coming again to
the dance of Anastasia and then going at least to another dance who is
bringing everything in the positive state. During the work I connect too
sound, colours and crystals. This is my personal research. It is very
fascinating and I hope to share it in the future with a lot of persons to let
them use this around the world for finding release and help.
An editor asked me to write a book on the spirituality and dance. The book came out in February 2001. The spirituality and healing in the meditative dances. Not only healing dances I am dancing and teaching, but normal circle dances too. So I am leading a 3 year training in meditative dances in Italy. In Italy I call the dances "Meditation in movement" or meditative dances. For a lot of italians "sacred" sounds very much of the church, leading to difficulties and misunderstandings.
Today we discover that our life and our wellbeing are connected with different values then the material ones, that without risk of transformation we are in an "immense prisons without joy and without hope". The healing dances can permit us to listen inside ourself, to discover the answers which are inside ourself. A moment of peace in this raving world and without balance, where it seems that there is no more time for our real neature. During the dances we will reconnect with our unconscious, with our fears, with our deepest desires, but also the connection between dark and light, earth and sky. I hope to meet you, to dance with you in the circle. Contact me. May be you work too with healing dances, gesture, visualisation and images/drawings?? I am awaiting with joy and open heart for reactions. To share, to learn, to teach. Thank you for this possibility. Love, light and peace for all from Joyce. You are always welcome in my workshops. Language is no problem. We talk the language of the heart!!! *(1) Mandala: dance of the Sun from the book Mandala en dans (Frits Bakker) |
How beautiful is it to
feel, to see and to hear how many people around the globe are
dancing. Finding togetherness in the circle, spreading around joy, healing,
love and friendship. 
My
interest is too SPIRITUALITY AND DANCE. First of all SAN
FRANCIS OF ASSISI. Once a year I go with a group to Assisi to dance.
Residential of 5 days. Further I dance the CANTICLE OF THE CREATION OF SAN
FRANCIS. 
My interest is too in elaborating loss of
personhood, loss of our health, loss of an ideal - each day everyone loses
something. Who heard about this magical place in France where young
people from every part of the world are coming to sing?? In a convent near to
Taizè I do with a group every year at the end of October elaboration of loss
and in the evening we go to Taizè to sing all together. I am doing research
in the elaborating of loss and pain through dance and non verbal communication.
Healing dances, where I find
healing within myself, connecting myself with the
energy points in the body, using gesture and healing in the dances, and coming
then to harmonisation. |
