FACILITATORS
First Class Dance Facilitators guiding you on a journey of movement
RUI & SABINE - 5 Rhythms
“5 Rhythms", created by Gabriele Roth, is a form of mediation in movement that awakens the essence of our inner dance to flow in the creativity of the moment. In 5 Rhythms dance, we enter into an energetic field that we call "wave", with 5 different vibrations: "flowing"-instinct "staccato"-intimacy "chaos"- intuition "lyrical"-integrity and "stillness"-innovation. It is in this evolutive cycle of vital energy that the synchronicity with reality happens, while we explore the mystery of the truth that heals, that only the body can reveal.
Come to dance in the same way you write poetry!
RITA NEVES – Biodanza
Rita Neves is a Biodanza facilitator at Quinta da Calma, in Almancil, in an abundant and happy partnership with Andreia Bruno, and Coordinator of the SRT School of Biodanza in the Algarve.
She fell in love with Biodanza in 2014 and since then has made a path, as a student and facilitator, immersing herself in this process of integration and expression of Identity, through this great art of living and learning to be happy.
Her life has been abundant and full of surprises, integrated in many worlds, linked to the arts, theater, and poetry, which have always given her the wonder of nonsense, laughter, the subtle and the excessive. She’s grateful to Life for having four beautiful children, a loving companion, a family full of affection, containment and laughter, delicious and inspiring friends, and the incredible luck of living in the Algarve, land of sun, poetry, and various mixtures.
She will be present at Awakeland Celebration 2022 to facilitate a Biodanza class, with the proposal to dance as children of the Stars, present in this Here and Now to sing and dance the glory of Living, in a deep loving connection.
Biodanza is a system of human development, organic renewal, affective integration, and relearning of the original functions of life, which invites connection with oneself, with the Other and with the Totality, through an experiential methodology that induces integrative experiences through music, singing, movement and human encounter.
“The primordial movement is the first generator of our libertarian essence, the original seed that pulsates and drives the being towards Life, which tends to flourish in ever fuller dimensions of a cosmogonic being and creator of himself. We deeply accept the existence of a libertarian human essence, in something interior that drives the being to realization, whose origin does not reside in consciousness, but in our animal and wild root”
(Rolando Toro)
PUJA MARIANA - Osho Active Meditations
Her passion and commitment to self development has brought her to explore several areas of therapy and meditation, like Primal Therapy, Tantra, Osho Active Meditations, Subtle Body Healing, Somatic Experience, Thetahealing, etc…

In this Gathering she will be offering one of her greatest passions: Osho Active Meditations - a potent tool for our modern life, designed to help us to connect deeper to silence through movement, dance, breath and sound.
She will also offer a Conscious Body Care Workshop inviting us to connect more to our body, learning how to listen to its needs and ways to deeply relax our system.

A non verbal space which creates a magical space of NO MIND. A magical space where we are all connected in the dance and playfulness together. A space of Unity which we all hold together.
it doesn’t matter if you have never done contact before or if you are professional. Our only focus is co creating a magical and sacred space together..
Non verbal does Not mean silent!

RUTE NOVAIS - Ecstatic Dance
Dance moved her through life.
Dance is the vehicle where she founds deep and high level landscapes that allow growth and daydreaming.
Imagine a child that always love to create stories growing into advertising and design.
In a moment, all of that sparkling environment seemed insufficient for a mind full of dreams, a wonderer about human life, creativity and soul expansion.
Osho books, meditations and dance were the doors that took this woman into a self-discover journey since then.
She changed advertising for teaching, and big events production for retreats and deep soul diving.
She fell in love with Ecstatic Dance and planted it in Portugal ten years ago!
She hold the space for it in Lisbon and Sintra.
She also works on a ONGD for 13 years fighting ocean pollution.
As you meet, one can see what moves her: people and the creative potential that can be revealed.
