SYMBOLS OF SACRED GEOMETRY RETREAT

Dancing – Connecting – Revitalising

A Journey Through Dance, Movement and the Symbols of Sacred Geometry

I would like to invite you to a revitalizing journey through the universe of dance and movement from the perspective of the symbols of sacred geometry. On this journey, our vehicle will be our body in all its dimensions.

We will rediscover our body while it takes us along paths, perhaps new or perhaps already known, that will reconnect our network in an infinite flow. First of all, we will live the experience by ourselves and then we will open ourselves to share with others. Each stage of the journey may bring us learnings, which we will have the opportunity to integrate and apply to our dance of life.

As a protective atmosphere we have the Liberato Method, which will surround us during the whole process providing us with deep and healthy information for our connection between body, mind and emotions, and for the reencounter with our own essence.

This experience will lead us to get to know our movement qualities and body habits, to flow our bodies in new ways and to become aware of aspects we are not yet aware of today.

I am very happy to be able to share my own medicine with you if you feel connected to it!

Experiential learning with the Liberato Method

In our retreats we apply Liberato Method’s experiential pedagogy, as well as its principles and fundamental basics. This method facilitates a process of constant self-discovery and personal development through dance and movement.

The Liberato pedagogy is based on the intelligence of the body in motion which is framed in a series of principles and values (such as self-responsibility, respect, freedom of choice, and listening), always present throughout the whole practice. This education system benefits the person to experience and learn according to their own rhythm, and to express themselves as they are.

In each session, dynamics and exercise, an organic process of individual, couple, or group reconnection is set in motion, which can be taken to any area of our lives.

The Liberato Method embraces diversity and can be adapted to any person, group or field. For this reason, it can be applied to varying depth levels according to each one’s needs or situation.

Effects of the Liberato Method

The Liberato Method has been applied to thousands of people in more than 30 countries and very satisfactory results have been observed.
