1. Research and Choose Qualified Facilitators: Look for Biodanza facilitators who have received proper training and certification from reputable organizations. Certified facilitators are expected to adhere to ethical guidelines and provide a safe environment for participants.
2. Trust Your Instincts: Listen to your intuition and trust your feelings about a facilitator or a session. If something doesn't feel right or makes you uncomfortable, it's important to honor those instincts and consider seeking alternative options.
3. Set Boundaries: Establish and communicate your personal boundaries with the facilitator and other participants. Biodanza encourages self-expression, but it's important to feel comfortable and safe within your own limits. A professional facilitator will respect and support your boundaries.
4. Practice Consent and Respect: Biodanza emphasizes connection and one of its tools is the power of touch. However, it is crucial to ensure that all physical contact is consensual and respectful. If you are uncomfortable with any form of touch, you have the right to express your boundaries and be respected.
5. Report Misconduct: If you witness or experience any form of misconduct or unethical behaviour during a Biodanza session, report it to the relevant authorities or the organization responsible for overseeing Biodanza practices. This helps maintain the safety and integrity of the community.
