\"\"<\/a>This weekend I attended a Tango Workshop at Temenos, a Retreat in McGregor. It is a  meditative and spiritual dance, based on trust, movement, communication, and growth.<\/b><\/p>\n

Six months ago I had attended a similar beginners Tango Workshop at Temenos in McGregor,\"\"<\/a> led by Rachael Glaser of Libertango. She had brought along Lizelle, so that she could demonstrate dance steps. This workshop prescribed that we dance as couples, and I was grateful that I could encourage McGregor resident and friend Michael MacKenzie to join me as my dance partner. We were a mix of novice Tango dancers, all wanting to learn more about this sensuous dance. The Tango teaches one about mindfulness, verbal and non-verbal communication, and empathy. <\/p>\n

Tango not just a sensual dance, but has spiritual lessons too!<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
