Transformation Retreat “Theater, Body and Consciousness”

Yes, going by the video you wouldn’t be judgemental to deduce that they seem to take themselves a little too seriously but if you want to go dancing in the mountains close to Barcelona (we think) there’s the Spiritual Dance Festival offering yoga, tai chi, chi kung, contact improv, reiki, meditative dance and…we think you get the picture.

The festival is set in a natural park and so should be a great location at least. It looks like they get a big crowd and it’s probably a very welcoming atmosphere.

The organizers say (according to DeepL):

Our in-depth retreat “Theater, Body, and Consciousness” will take your transformation process one step further, drawing on theater-gestalt dynamics, constellations, movement, presence, self-inquiry, breathing, and yoga… with indoor and outdoor activities. The experience is designed as a whole and prepared for adults only.

Throughout our lives, we create a character (or several) to survive and protect ourselves, and in adulthood, this character has too much control over our reality (thoughts, actions, identification…). The way to become a “conscious adult” is to identify, accept, appreciate, and transcend this character. We can always have our character as an ally, but it is never healthy to confuse it with our true essence. The encounter will be a process of softening and releasing patterns, ideas, and forms that no longer serve you… sustained, group-based, and loving.
