RETURN TO WATERBODY
SOMATIC FREEDIVING & UNDERWATER DANCE
July 28th - August 3rd 2025
Santa Clara-a-Velha,
Odemira,
Portugal
This summer will return to the gorgeous waters of the Barragem Santa Clara-a-Velha to offer a progressive journey into underwater dance and somatic free diving.
We will begin the week with an introduction to how the body navigates through the realm of water, remembering how it is to move and exist in the water element. From day two, there will be advanced workshops in water dance, exploring the capability of our bodies within water, to support, to be supported, between different realms, to spiral, to attach, taking space, offering weight, releasing, holding structure.
Together, floating in warm water, held by the ancient tree beings surrounding us, we will open a space/time to listen within, and invite our playful and curious essence. As we start dissolving in the element of water, our contours of self begin to melt, our movement becomes one with the water and the other.
As we near the end of the week, we will incorporate freediving technique and begin to dance within deeper waters. We will journey through exploration of dancing in solo with water, in pairs, and in collective group water dances (according to your comfort), returning to the blissful essence of our water being.
Our water practices will be supported by evening sessions of breath work, authentic movement and writing exercises for grounding and integration.
It will be a meeting for 12 participants only, be in touch soon to reserve your spot if you wish to join us to not miss out! 💙
Once we open our hearts to the energy of water, its teachings and wisdom overflow to all areas of our lives. You will begin to notice deepening transparency, authenticity, and presence with yourself, and those around you.
*The journey is suitable for both beginners and those already dancing in water and wishing to deepen their practice.
