Tap into the wisdom of your body to process in a safe group space what felt so scary to address while you felt most alone and isolated.

Your 12-Month Journey to Liberation

A Transformational Program of Movement, Storytelling & Ritual

This is not just a program.
It’s a sacred return to your body, your voice, your creativity—and your power.

If you’re a woman who has endured emotional hardship, trauma, or disconnection, this immersive experience will guide you back to the wisdom of your body and the truth of your story—through movement, symbolism, ritual, and community.

🔥 Module 1: Memorials – Mapping Your Emotional Biography

We begin with a powerful ritual:
Create your personal "Memorial"—a symbolic expression of your story through art, drawing, or writing. This sacred process honours your journey and makes space for healing.

You decide what to do with your Memorial:
Burn it. Bury it. Throw it into a river.
Release what no longer serves you.

🌊 Module 2: Unblock the River of Women’s Creativity

Inspired by the psychoanalytic tale “La Llorona – Agua Clara” (C. Pinkola Estés), we shift from the collective story of abuse to the deep waters of your personal experience.

You’ll return to your body—the source of your life force and truth.

💃 Module 3: The Body as Temple – Reclaim Your Boundaries

Explore grounding, linear movements through Greek folk dances like Syrtaki and Hasapiko.
Begin in the iconic Zorba eagle posture, seated then standing.
Use folkloric and Oriental dance scarves to expand your personal space and express your right to take up space.

🐉 Module 4: slay the outer and inner monsters. reconnect with our deep resources!

Inspired by the psychoanalytic fairytale “Bluebeard” (Clarissa Pinkola Estés)

In this powerful session, we journey into the depths of the Bluebeard story—a tale of hidden truths, inner warning bells, and reclaimed instinct.

Through group movement, artistic expression, and fairytale reenactment, you’ll learn to:

Recognize and break free from harmful projections
Unravel internalized fears and patterns of vulnerability
Activate your inner and outer resources for protection and growth

This isn’t just storytelling—it’s embodied transformation.
We don’t just talk about healing. We move through it.

🗡️ Module 5: Warrior Woman Dance – Reclaim Your power

This is where silence becomes movement.

Guided inner imagery connects you to your inner warrior.
You’ll visualize what you’re ready to release—then cut it free using a sword dance movement.
Powerful. Non-verbal. Liberating.

⚖️ Module 6: Dance With Your Shadow – Reunite Inner Masculine & Feminine

This module is about reclaiming your full identity and saying NO without words.

Say NO through posture, hip pushes, and body expansion.
Rise from the ground in your own time, re-establishing verticality.
Explore polarities: open/closed, strong/soft, grounded/flowing.
Walk as the self-sovereign queen you are.

💗 Module 7: Dance Your Inner Lover – Rediscover Softness & Self-Compassion

After confronting pain, we soften the edges.

Explore gentle, flowing Oriental dance with veils.
Feel your body move with grace, ease, and beauty.
Use slow, indirect movements to express your future dreams and emotional rebirth.

👯‍♀️ Module 8: The Circle Holds Us – Collective Healing & Release

Come together in a closed-circle ritual dance using Syrtaki and Hasapiko.
Feel the strength of the group as you move in unity.
Express gratitude through individual gestures.
Leave with a deep sense of being held—and seen.

🖌️ Module 9: Body Mapping & Symbolic Expression

Partnered silhouette drawings to reflect on your personal journey.
Group drawing to connect to the collective body and the symbols that emerge from shared healing.
Take these images with you as living reminders and future resources.

🌟 Module 10: The Choreography of Your New Life

Create your own movement piece that reflects your new path.
The group mirrors your dance, validating your transformation.
Leave empowered, embodied, and fully supported.

🌀 Module 11: Reclaim Your Worth Through Movement & Mirroring

In this powerful session, we use pair and group exercises to create a safe space for positive kinesthetic mirroring—a deeply embodied experience that strengthens self-esteem, body confidence, and authentic connection with others.

If you've been told insidious lies in a toxic or narcissistic relationship, lies that you are small or "not enough"—especially after experiencing narcissistic abuse—this work is essential.

Here, we don’t just talk about healing. We feel it, move it, and repattern it—right where it lives: in the body.

Because the body holds the story— And it also holds the key to rewriting it.

You’ll gently confront:

Negative self-talk
Persistent self-doubt
Anxiety and feelings of unworthiness

And replace them with:

Empowered movement
Grounded presence
A renewed sense of personal power

This is where your healing becomes visible.
This is where you start standing tall—again.

🔮 Module 12: group dance manifesto for freedom

🔥 Final Celebration: A Manifesto of Freedom & Feminine Power

Bailalobas: AN YEAR TO RISE – Closing Ritual

In our final module, we bring it all together.
Each woman’s personal “Choreography of a New Life”—created in Module 10—will now merge into a collective group dance:
a living, breathing manifesto of freedom, strength, and rebirth.

This final ritual is more than a performance.
It’s a powerful embodiment of everything you've reclaimed—your voice, your story, your body, your boundaries.

Together, we will:

Celebrate your personal transformation
Anchor your new identity into muscle memory
Charge your body with lasting strength to guide your path forward

This group dance becomes a sacred imprint in your kinesthetic memory—something you'll carry with you long after the program ends.

You won’t just remember this moment.
You’ll feel it in your bones.
And it will rise with you—every step of the way.

Bailalobas has already trusted by protected houses for women like Oranje Huis AMSTERDAM (Netherlands), Rosa Manus LEIDEN (Netherlands), advocacy organization The Wake Up Foundation SOFIA (Bulgaria).

Lila is a very punctual and enthusiastic person and can easily make contact with our clients. She introduced Dance and Movement therapy to SIENA center and started the first DMT group for people with Parkinson`s, which she run for an year.

Renate Volkert, Art therapist and Owner of Day center SIENA - The Hague, The Netherlands
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.

Leontine Kranendonk, Social work and Hospitality manager, protected house ORANJE HUIS, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Women supported by The Wake Up Foundation experienced their first dance therapy in Bulgaria. Under the gentle guidance of a professional Dance therapist, in a cozy and shared circle, they drew strength from the secure therapeutic space. The ladies went home sharing insights like "I feel safe, liberated, lighter"! Thanks to this circle of support and understanding"...We are left wanting more.

PreslavaFentham-Fletcher, Development Director - The Wake up Foudation, Sofia, Bulgaria
Lila is a lovely person with dedication and a passion to teach DMT for children. She has the ability to get the attention from the children and to spread positive energy to them, which helps a lot for the motivation of the children. In combination with the tools (her skills and also material) this results in a good result and happy children.

Ralf Forster, Owner Amforca Kids Club, The Hague, Netherlands
I had the opportunity to work with Lila during her dissertation project, “Putting back the puzzle pieces of life after domestic abuse”, where I served as an external academic advisor. In this role, I provided guidance on integrating drawings and other participatory techniques during data production, as well as on data analysis. Throughout this process, Lila demonstrated remarkable intellectual curiosity and methodological rigor. I greatly appreciated her ability to plan and deploy her research with precision, creativity, and dedication. Lila approaches complex topics with both sensitivity and originality.

Prof. Dr. Alexios Brailas, Art therapist, Teaching faculty at Panteon University of Athens
Thank you so much, Lila, for the wonderful Dance therapy sessions. They have given me so much - above all knowledge and wisdom. I have learned who I am, how to stand up for myself and also how to not avoid difficult emotions like anger. From the bottom of my heart - I thank you. Love. L.
