Limeja Biodanza Oasis
~ open air festival in Nature's living temple ~
/ HRVATSKA VERZIJA ISPOD /
Sunshine, moonshine, rain and rainbow, river-like sea, hillslope-valley, woods and orchards, you and me, can we dance together into Life? A whole, wild-wise life of warmth and wonder?
Can we be both free and loving, belong fully to ourselves, yet also belong with others and belong in this world, belong on the Earth? Can we let our hearts experience true connection and communion?
Can we allow for the chaos of creation, which is simultaneously destruction and rebirth, to bring us into the unknown regions of the self? Can we feel the restless particles of consciousness settle in our being and become a meaningful cosmos?
Can we touch upon the mystery of existence? Can we meet the Soul of the world in our soul, as well as in other souls, in the place, in all of Nature?
Can we open to Grace?
Ƹ̴Ӂ̴Ʒ
The festival shall take place from July 16th to 19th, in the countryside of Rovinj, on private land on the southern hillside of Lim Bay, surrounded by woods and sloping down towards the sea. For us humans this means 5 minutes of descent to the beach and 8 minutes of ascent to come back:)
We will meet in this Mediterranean oasis of raw wilderness, just barely cultivated by human hand, completely off-grid, with sunshine electricity and rainfall water, and enjoy Biodanza on a newly built dance floor, in a wooden pavilion, open to the surrounding landscape.
The four days are an invitation to take a regenerative retreat from 'civilisation'. A break from the burdens of ordinary, city life. A leap of faith into the unordinary, which can then, perhaps, become the extraordinary…
Coming back to oneself, bonding with others and community building are all equally important. There will be time and opportunity for active participation as well as for relaxation, pleasure and renewal.
We will have four teachers lead the vivencias (experiences in Biodanza):
- Bruno Giuliani (France)
- Nataraj Garcia (Spain)
- Nataša Kern (Slovenia)
- Marijana Pajić (Croatia)

RULES AND RESOURCES:
Limeja is a 'living temple', a nature preserve and sanctuary, a place of wild wisdom and wholehearted wonder. Here we practice care for the environment, commitment to the land and compassion for all creatures.
We don't flush shit into the sea, don't create wastewaters, don't damage the soil; we use only natural cosmetics and cleaners; we don't eat animals' flesh, nor any food that costs suffering; we don't drink alcohol during the rituals and workshops; we don't take drugs; we maintain interior and exterior cleanliness; we save the resources.
The land is completely off-grid. Sunlight gives us electricity and rain provides water (which is collected and filtered, but is not advisable for drinking). We have an outdoor kitchen and dining room in the woods, outhouses with composting toilets, showers and washbasins for guests.
SHELTER AND FOOD:
Those who want to stay with us the whole time, to deeply experience Limeja, can do so by setting up their own tents and donating to our non-profit organization, Ars.Polis, which will help further the project and fund the programs we organize for the local community.
The others, who like more luxury than we do, can stay in the nearby Naturist Campsite Valalta or Campsite Val Saline, as well as in one of the many hotels or countless apartments Rovinj has to offer. The city is only a few minutes drive away.
An independent chef will prepare three vegan meals a day for us, which are optional to order. Who doesn't want to give it a try, to eat healthy and heartily for a few days, can go eat something else elsewhere. There are plenty of restaurants and pizzerias in the area.
Participants can also bring their own vegan or vegetarian food, but the kitchen itself cannot be used while the cook and his/her assistants are using it. Meat of any kind is not allowed on the premise, as Limeja is a cruelty-free sanctuary and a showcase of green living.
FIRE WARNING:
The wood, the fireplace and the fire are off-limits! We will have a responsible person act as the 'firekeeper', and he/she will be the only one allowed to light the fire in the hearth or add wood to it during the evening.
In summer there is a high risk of conflagration and it is strictly forbidden to light a fire in the open. Therefore, set hearts ablaze, not forests!

Limejska oaza Biodanze
~ festival na otvorenom, u živom hramu Prirode ~
/ ENGLISH VERSION ABOVE /
Sunce, mjesečina, kiša i duga, more poput rijeke, draga obgrljena brdima, šume i voćnjaci, ti i ja. Možemo li zajedno zaplesati u Život, u cjelovitost divlje mudrog postojanja, ispunjenog toplinom i čudesnošću?
Možemo li biti ujedno slobodni i ljubavni, pripadati u potpunosti sebi, a opet pripadati drugima i pripadati ovom svijetu, pripadati Zemlji? Možemo li dopustiti našim srcima da dožive istinsku povezanost i zajedništvo?
Možemo li dopustiti da nas kaos stvaranja, koji je istovremeno razaranje i ponovno rađanje, odvede u nepoznata područja sebstva? Možemo li osjetiti kako se nemirne čestice svijesti sliježu u našem biću i postaju smisleni kozmos?
Možemo li dotaknuti misterij postojanja? Možemo li u svojoj duši, kao i u drugim dušama, u mjestu, u cijeloj Prirodi, susresti Dušu svijeta?
Možemo li se otvoriti Milosti?
Ƹ̴Ӂ̴Ʒ
Festival će se održavati od 16. do 19. srpnja u okolici Rovinja, u prirodi, na privatnoj parceli na južnom obronku Limskog zaljeva. Limeja, zemljica, okružena je šumom i spušta se prema moru. Za nas ljude to znači 5 minuta silaska do plaže i 8 minuta uspona na povratku:)
Susrest ćemo se u ovoj mediteranskoj oazi sirove divljine, jedva dotaknutoj ljudskom rukom, potpuno off-grid (izvan mreže), sa solarnom strujom i oborinskom vodom, te uživati u Biodanzi na novoizgrađenom plesnom podiju, u drvenom paviljonu, otvorenom prema okolnom krajoliku.
Četiri dana koje ćemo provesti u intimnom okruženju, poziv su na regenerativno povlačenje iz 'civilizacije'. Odmor od tereta svakodnevnog, gradskog života. Skok vjere u nesvakidašnje, koje onda, možda, može postati i nadnaravno...
Povratak sebi, povezivanje s drugima i izgradnja zajednice jednako su važni. Bit će vremena i prilika za aktivno sudjelovanje kao i za opuštanje, užitak i obnovu.
Imat ćemo četiri učitelja koji će voditi vivencije (doživljavanja u Biodanzi):
- Bruno Giuliani (Francuska)
- Nataraj Garcia (Španjolska)
- Nataša Kern (Slovenija)
- Marijana Pajić (Hrvatska)

PRAVILA I RESURSI:
Limeja je 'živi hram', prirodni rezervat i utočište, mjesto divlje mudrosti i djetinjeg čuđenja pred Nebom i Zemljom. Ovdje prakticiramo brigu za okoliš, predanost zemlji i suosjećanje sa svim stvorenjima.
Ne ispiremo govna u more, ne stvaramo otpadne vode, ne oštećujemo tlo; koristimo samo prirodnu kozmetiku i sredstva za čišćenje; ne jedemo životinjsko meso, niti drugu hranu čija je cijena patnja; ne pijemo alkohol tijekom rituala i radionica; ne uzimamo droge; održavamo unutarnju i vanjsku čistoću; čuvamo resurse.
Zemljište je potpuno off-grid. Sunčeva svjetlost nam daje struju, a kiša vodu (koja se prikuplja i filtrira, no nije preporučljiva za piće). Imamo ljetnu kuhinju i blagovaonicu u šumi, pomoćne objekte s kompostnim WC-ima, tuševe i umivaonike za goste.
SMJEŠTAJ I HRANA:
Oni koji žele ostati s nama cijelo vrijeme, duboko doživjeti Limeju, mogu to učiniti postavljanjem vlastitih šatora i doniranjem našoj neprofitnoj organizaciji Ars.Polis, što će potpomoći daljnji razvoj projekta i sufinancirati programe koje organiziramo za lokalnu zajednicu.
Ostali, koji vole više luksuza od nas, mogu odsjesti u obližnjem Naturističkom kampu Valalta ili Kampu Val Saline, kao i u nekom od brojnih hotela ili bezbrojnih apartmana koje Rovinj nudi. Grad je udaljen samo nekoliko minuta vožnje.
Nezavisni kuhar ili kuharica će za nas pripremati tri veganska obroka dnevno koji se, po želji, mogu naručiti. Tko ne želi probati, zdravo i srčano jesti par dana, može otići negdje drugdje jesti nešto drugo. U okolici ima puno restorana i pizzerija.
Sudionici mogu donijeti i vlastitu vegansku ili vegetarijansku hranu, no kuhinja se ne može koristiti dok ju koriste kuhar/kuharica i njegovi/njeni pomagači. Na posjed nije dozvoljeno unositi meso, u bilo kojem obliku. "Limeja je vege raj – ogledište za život bez okrutnosti."
PROTUPOŽARNE MJERE:
Drva, ognjište i vatru nije dozvoljeno dirati! Imat ćemo odgovornu osobu će koja će biti 'čuvar vatre'. Samo on ili ona će moći paliti vatru u ognjištu ili dodavati drva tijekom večeri.
Ljeti postoji velika opasnost od požara i strogo je zabranjeno ložiti vatru na otvorenom. Stoga, zapalimo srca, a ne šume!
