EVO-Biodanza Experience October 5-12 2023

A women’s gathering and activity adventure in and around Estepona, Spain

In the beautiful surroundings of Estepona, Andalusia, we invite you to a week of environmental change from everyday life. Together we create a joyful and open space where body, mind and soul is allowed to move in a playful, curious and explorative way without requirements of performance or measurement of results. We spend the days together in a mix of movement, activity, nature contact, connection, reflection, relaxation and stillness.

Come and enjoy nature, adventure, community, warm conversations, learning in a creative and cooperative way, history, culture, and food in an astounding environment with some awesome people! Give yourself time to land and explore yourself in the here and now.

EVOTRAINING is evolution based movement, which is playful training and activity in how to move in accordance with nature, optimizing energy and sensory input, learning risk-assessment and an easier way to move your body. There will be lots of laughs, teamwork and maybe you will discover a whole new perspective on the topic of movement and exercise, without losing connection to yourself or your surroundings.

BIODANZA is where we rediscover our own moves to the rhythm of lovely music from around the globe. The dances create activating and soothing experiences within your body and spirit. As a system for personal development, Biodanza invites you to reconnect and become aware of your feelings when they arise, while playfully meeting with one, two or all others in the group. Safely meet yourself, others, and the world, through the power of music and movement.

Other things you may experience during your week are hiking, sunrises on the beach, cool dips in the sea, walks along the beach, guided meditations, breathing exercises, wine tasting, Roman ruins/baths, and more.

We will be staying at Costa Natura, Europe’s best family friendly naturist resort and the perfect place to become comfortable in your own skin. It consists of 175 apartments in a beautiful and well-maintained Mediterranean garden, located right on Costa Natura beach, Spain’s first Naturist beach, with views to Gibraltar and Estepona. The resort features a large saltwater pool, restaurant, kiosk, gym, jacuzzi, sauna, volleyball and pétanque court.

FOR WHO?

The trip is for women and suitable for most as we keep a calm pace and the focus is on natural movement. You must be able to walk outdoors in varying terrain for 2-3 hours, beyond that there are no requirements. You can be a fit bundle of energy who wants to pause everyday life, a woman who is on sick leave for exhaustion, a lady who wants to discover something new, sisters or girlfriends who want to do something memorable together. You can travel alone or with a friend/colleague/family member.

ELISABETH KARIN MEIJER
I’m a mature woman with a wealth of life experience that I love to share with others, and I always enjoy listening to the stories and experiences of those around me. I’m also a playful, spirited girl who loves to be outdoors, engaging with others and exploring the world. I take joy in trying new things, dancing through life, and wandering through nature. One side of me cherishes solitude, appreciating the quiet moments, enjoying the warmth of the sun on my skin, my feet in the sand, and the sound of the wind rustling through the trees. Another side revels in the simple pleasures, like sipping a cup of coffee in bed. In short, I embrace and celebrate all aspects of my life.
