Barbara and Franco are the drops of the Tao, perfect and complementary. Barbara and Franco have thus conveyed an intimate and pervasive sense of balance to everyone whose lives they have touched, and through their profession as dancers, they have ushered in a new era in which the profound essence of the human being dissolves into harmony:

“My wisdom is silent, yet it is not. It is made of grace in dance, where inner knowledge finds expression through this body. In the deep space of this energetic intuition, I touch the flowers of the inner garden, and all may see, grasp, and give life. By uniting with this truth of mine, I immerse myself in the light and consciousness of the eternal, returning then to the world as pure love in being.” Barbara Geiger source: www.compagnianut.org

On 22 October at 4.45 am, Barbara left her body, following a very long period of illness during which physical pain took hold amidst the realisation that the transition to the freedom of the soul was now imminent.

We, their friends and students, aware of the sacrifices both of them made in the name of art in its purest form, and of the impossibility, in recent times, of working as dance teachers, are launching this fundraising campaign to support Franco, who has carried Barbara on his shoulders for the last 30 years, helping her to find the light that she alone deserved.

Our deepest dream is to create a TEMPLE-like space, in a safe and wholesome part of our country, open to all who seek harmony in its purest sense: to set aside the ego in order to understand the ancient laws that govern our evolution, and to live by striving each day to be better towards ourselves, others and our planet.

With immense gratitude, we thank you.
