with Clara Rubin-Smith McKie

Certified Biodanza Facilitator

 

April open classes: Wednesdays, April 2nd, 9th & 16th, 2025, 7–9pm @ Venture Way Collaborative, 200 Venture Way, Hadley, MA 

May 7–June 18, 2025, 7–9pm (committed series) @ Venture Way Collaborative, 200 Venture Way, Hadley, MA

 

We are excited to be offering a series of open classes these next few weeks, as our Wednesday evening group in Hadley opens up to welcome newcomers. April 2nd through the 16th – come for one or all! If you know you can make all three of these, sign up ahead for the three-class pass, or early bird for the classes you can join (reg links below). Thanks for sharing and inviting friends too! >> tinyurl.com/SpringBiodanza.

 

In May we'll move into a committed group container for a Hadley series that takes us through mid-June. This is an opportunity to build trust and a journey together that supports our personal and collective unfolding; a place of mutual care where you can come just as you are and leave with more energy, feeling more connected and resourced each week. Weekly group has an overall commitment, but missing a session within this is fine if needed. The group that's been gathering so far has been really wonderful, and we would love for you to join us. Get in touch to explore this possibility or sign up!

 

Let's keep gathering, expanding space for collective care, and embracing the energy of spring that feeds our capacity to adapt and create anew. Come dance your heart out and stay grounded as we keep cultivating creativity, community and resilience, actively making space to breathe, feel, refuel, and find our ways forward together.

 

Aula bilingüe (inglés y español). All ages 18 and over. No experience needed – come as you are, with your curious heart and a desire to connect with yourself and others. Bring comfortable clothes for moving in, bare feet or indoor-only shoes, and a water bottle.

 

Biodanza is a gentle and powerful integrative system promoting human development both personal and collective, originally developed in Chile during the 1960's and now a global movement. Each class journeys through life-affirming exercises that take the form of dances and other movements that connect with everyday life, paired with carefully-chosen, inspiring music from around the world. These are invitations into vivencia, experiences of feeling completely alive in the present moment, which build on each other to create a cascade of experiences opening up new ways of relating with ourselves, each other, and the world around us. In the process, we are invited to reclaim what’s most life-giving for each of us, discovering new ways of moving through life, learning how to live together as human beings, and celebrating and building on all the good. Connect with your inner strength and innate creativity, move to heal your emotional and physical body, grow personal and collective resilience and your capacity for being in the here and now. Come for two hours of restorative play and community care each week, of vividly lived present moments that return us to our most essential selves and ripple far beyond this time together.
