EXPERTS’ OPINIONS
Sally Openshaw , Integrative Psychotherapist, Trainer and Supervisor (UK) about Intiniti Dance Bliss Festival:
“Wow – a festival of dance – what a wonderful opportunity to help people make links between their bodies, movement and their thoughts and feeling. This feels like such a good energetic way to integrate using a holistic approach. In my experience, therapy can so often have a limited focus exclusively on talking and what INTINITI Dance Bliss Festival is offering here instead is an expansive way for people to experience through feeling it in their body. This will use a very different area of the brain to express and connect with themselves. I can see the care and passion the organizers have put into the details to prepare a rich social experience for everyone. I wish everyone every success in this venture.”
