Hermes Project
The Dream. The Hermes Project. Around the World in 80 Days with Biodanza. Hermes, in Greek mythology, is the messenger of the gods. The invitation is to give contact, voice and movement to each of the 12 schools that participates in the Biodanza project and shares its message around the world. How will we do it? After completing the trip, we will produce a book called "UNITY": 12 chapters each linked to an exercise of Biodanza and one of the 12 schools. The book is itself an experience of Biodanza, with photos, stories, poems and messages taking you on a journey to many cities around the world! The MESSAGE ...is intrinsically linked to who we are and the connections we have with that which is alive around us. Our message takes our dreams, faces our fears and integrates them into a full dance of meaning: a qualitative leap that invites us to express the potential of our identity. With each heart beat We are the message we carry. Marcelo Toro Director of the Cape Town South Africa Biodanza School.

#4 HOTEL and right next to #3
Springhill Suites, 7055 Minstrel Way, Columbia, MD 21046

There are many other hotels in the town of Columbia, Maryland hat you may prefer. The town of Laurel, however, covers quite a large area and some parts are FAR from the LOFT so I suggest staying in Columbia, Maryland if so. If you have your own car, you can stay where you please!
The nearest and easiest AIRPORT is Baltimore (BWI); Dulles and Reagan are 1 hour away in good traffic, a rare occurance. We can arrange for pick up at BWI airport only if you send us details.
For those who like the TRAIN, the Amtrak Train station is very near, but not in BWI airport. You can rent a car or get a shuttle from there, too. A 25 minute taxi ride will get you to the hotel. STATION? BWI - BALTIMORE WASHINGTON INTERNATIONAL STOP We can arrange for train station pick up from BWI airport ONLY. DO NOT GET OFF AT BALTIMORE PENN STATION.
BUS
1. Greyhound and Megabus go into Baltimore and then you'd need to get a rental car or take a taxi to above hotel which is a 25 minute ride.
2. THIS IS THE BUS TO TAKE FROM NYC = BOLT Bus goes into Greenbelt, but there's nowhere to rent a car so I can arrange pick up for you but need ADVANCED NOTICED OF DAY AND TIME
TRANSPORT TO AND FROM THE AIRPORT: You will need to rent a car if you come in to DULLES or REAGAN AIRPORTS as public transportation does not exist outside of big cities. Shuttle buses to the hotel are possible and then you can taxi to venue or we can arrange a minivan pickup. I like SUPER SHUTTLE.
The Life Dance Loft is located in a small shopping plaza with one Italian Pizza place, Lucero's. Within a ten minute walk from the Loft, we have several nice restaurants (Ranazul, Looney's, The Grille, another pizza joint) and a great coffee shop (Sidamo) that also has food and some other shops, banks, gas station, etc..
HOSTING If you are local, have a spare room and attending the workshop and would like to host a Biodancero coming in for the weekend from another city, please contact me. The worst is that they'll be dancing and hanging from your chandelier.... :)...just kidding! We have Biodanza community in Miami, NYC, Boston, San Francisco, L.A. and Canada locally! Nice people!
