It's known that water is resilient, adaptable and has no defined shape while interacting with gravity. Water moldes itself and takes the shape to its container and the surface it interacts with. Under gravity, water not only moves through spirals and waves but becomes the embodies of those motifs, even though it is always striving to return to its original spherical shape. Sphere is the original form of the water and that can be verified with Astronauts playing with water in the outer space. In the absence of gravity water forms a perfect fluid sphere, a defined form that symbolizes totality or a sense of unbroken wholeness that is never rigid and does not to resist to maintain its structural integrity.
The body of a newborn baby is an expression of that aquatic heritage. The anatomic design of the human body has been evolved to support freedom of movement and joint mobility. The downside of being endowed with a extremely articulated body is to have that original sense of fluid wholeness compromised, which increases with aging. In other words, a jointed body that is conducive for mobility implies in an inevitable fragmented functioning. We can verify this from a bio-mechanical perspective.
The first shape of the human body is a single cell, mostly composed of fluids, a liquid sphere from which every physical structured is originated.
The Spherical Dimensions module is an invitation for an in-depth examination of our inborn spherical origins, how we tend to lose its spherical qualities along our growth, the formation of the body constitution and psyche and what can be done to restore a sense of wholeness
Discernment and sensitivity are essential and required qualities for this module that participants are encouraged to cultivate.
Finding the door to the spherical dimensions is the first accomplishment. On the other side of the door lies a vast multilayered world of spheres within spheres, a hugely complex and deeply intricate interplay.
The process offers a specific container with practical tools, empowering concepts, exercises and drills wrapped around clear guidance intended to lead participants into the realization of their own latent sphericity.
At this point of Bruno's investigation, he's been able to discern 10 spherical dimensions, some a less sophisticated and easiest to grasp whereas other are expressed in its finest and subtlest forms.

Bruno Caverna is a pioneer in the development of body-mind integrative practices authentically supported by more than 35 years of dedicated studies in various body-mind disciplines such as Capoeira, Acrobatics, Contemporary Dance, Contact-improvisation, Taiji, Russian Systema, Watsu, Breath-Work and Freediving. In 2012 Bruno created the Play-Fight and Liquid-Body practices and in 2016 he changed the focus of his professional perspective by founding Formless Arts, a philosophical umbrella that sustains the physical practices and theoretical studies. Formless Arts overall's aim is to provide a mosaic-like container for those earnest to be committed to the path of self-knowledge through the contemplation of movement, breath and awareness. Since then Bruno has been certifying facilitators, organizing his own events, educational courses and collaborating at inter-disciplinary festivals. The newest chapter in Bruno's professional trajectory is about to be launched, the Formless Arts Practitioner Training Program offered and spread in 6 modules along the year Bruno started exploring Freediving in 2018 and under the guidance of Andreas Pepper Bruno had a mind-blowing experience as he saw the ocean as a portal for inner dimensions. Ever since he has been completely hooked and fascinated by the feelings and states the deep waters may provide and open up. Recently Bruno has also certified as an instructor of the Buteyko method and Oxygen Advantage, a further dive into the fascinating world of the breath.
