What Sets BailaLobas Apart
✨ Express Your Inner Essence Through Art and Movement
Through an artistic and expressive repertoire, you’ll materialize and embody the essence of your soul. Using color, shape, and profoundly authentic movement, your psyche will "whisper" to your senses in the ancient, intuitive language your inner self already knows—but that modern life often silences.
✨ Rediscover Childlike Curiosity
Step into the circle with openness and curiosity. BailaLobas invites you to listen to the profound, nonverbal messages that arise through art and movement—richer than words and older than any culture. Together, we’ll move beyond the cognitive, immersing ourselves in the transformative lullaby of symbols and self-expression.
✨ Unearth Your Inner Treasures
Tap into the gold hidden in your unconscious. In this empowering sisterhood circle, we’ll strengthen our connection to universal archetypes—the Great Mother, the Goddess, the Wise Old Woman, the Inner Child, and the Warrior. These archetypes are sources of wisdom and power that already live within you.
BailaLobas is Not Just Another Workshop
We’re not here to promise enlightenment or healing because you are already whole. Our holy mission is to hold a mirror that reflects your innate brilliance, reminding you of the strength and wonder you already possess. This isn’t about following a guide who overwrites your inner compass. BailaLobas is about having a companion who helps you rediscover your own path, stay loyal to your intuition, and be true to yourself.
Join us to connect, move, create, and embrace the transformative journey within.

Every time I witness the Dance and Movement therapy sessions of Lila at our shelter, I am amazed by how women are able to open up to more depth and safety and ultimately flourish. The transformative power of this therapy is truly encouraging. I have been lucky to follow the process of many women survivors at Oranje and I can surely say that the body-centered therapeutic approach Lila brings gives even faster results than months and months of EMDR or other therapies.

Under the gentle guidance of a professional Dance therapist, in a cozy and shared circle, they drew strength from the secure therapeutic space.
