The Encontros do Umbigo | Bellybutton Encounters concept

What is it?

“An encounter exists when there is intention and at least two presences, it is impractical when two absences try to find something on the other side where nothing exists. In my work I see myself as an activator of doors that you can choose to open and look deeper within yourself with honesty. My purpose is to tell my personal story, to show you what I can do, inviting you to join me so we can walk part of the path together, growing with it. for you!” (Pramod Miguel Bento)

This concept results from Pramod’s personal experience and life, today the work that supports his intention focuses on the regular practice of individual Bioenergetics sessions, complemented by the Osho Active Meditation School , bioenergetics group work and Humaniversity’s social active meditation and finally the retreats 2 to 3 times a year gathering all the work in an intensive format and an intense dive into ourselves.

Martial Arts, dance improvisation and contact improvisation emerge as Pramod’s creative manifestation, still implemented in the practice of Easy Motion. Which will be your own creation? Come and discover, joining our journey of personal discovery for as long as you want!

Testimonials

Through meditation and bioenergetics I was able to feel my inner self again, where I was able to harmonize energies and began to have a perception of life with wider eyes that I never imagined possible.

For me bio and active meditation with Pramod is perhaps the greatest adventure I have ever had. It is a path full of sharp corners, sharp gradients and sweat (literally!) But also full of landscapes and beautiful and unexpected encounters of those who are amazed, even glimpsed and make you feel so full that at that moment nothing else matters. “First you find yourself strangled and then you become entangled.”

School … active meditation … a portal of tools that make me awake to reality, the reality of who I am, of what I am while being in this fantastic universe, that sometimes I walk in an illusory world created by my own mind . Here comes active meditation. Pramod’s work emerges, which allows me to enter a real world. This world that allows me to walk in truth, in reality, out of illusion. With that I get more structure, with Power for the challenges that arise day by day sometimes being just inside my mind … Then I have a choice … to follow up on this illusion and to be caught in the darkness or to grasp the teachings that the Pramod conveys to me and continues to be filled with light, peace and Joy. It is undoubtedly a process of real growth as a being in this wonderful universe.
