Danças circulares sagradas: movimento(s) em busca de saúde, cuidado, espiritualidade e sentido

Abstract

This study proposes to reflect, to create dialogues, to trace paths and references about the importance or Art, of the Sensitive Knowledge, and more specifically, about Sacred Circular Dances as a vehicle or as a means/possibility of self knowledge, health, spirituality and search for meaning, within our global contemporary moment. It also promotes this dialogue between Art and the Religion Sciences, with emphasis on the human being and on his self transcendence, which has seen Dancing as form, history, special creation, symbology, rhythm and ritual time, within its movements and senses, searching for a Self and for a careful and collective progress. Taking consideration the comprehension of the Body as a totality rather than a fragmented entity, and through a phenomenological form, this work investigates as well, The Sacred Circular Dances as a possibility of expression, communication and education, beyond a simple physical exercise. This research also looks for bringing references and reflections about the Human Being in his growing and learning process, through the Dancing in Circle, and for this, it focus on the studies of Bernhard Wosien and of Maria Gabriele Wosien, and also in the “Temple Body”. Last but not least, Sacred Circular Dances seen also as meditation in movement, a deeper consciousness concerning (someone self/ or the Other/ and of a larger context/ environment) or even a poetical way of seeing/feeling/living/ and of dancing life.
