Este trabajo esta apoyado en una serie de experiencias realizadas desde 1982 hasta 1989 en guayaquil (ecuador) y en santiago de chile que parten de la idea de utilizar la tecnica de la expresion corporal para lograr el crecimiento, el desarrollo y la participacion de las mujeres de sectores marginaels. La estructura de este trabajo consta de cinco partes. Se inicia con una explicacion del significado del lenguaje expresion corporal-Danba, se continua con un capitulo metodologico donde se insiste sobre su aplicabilidad a otros grupos , de hombres o mixtos. En el tercer capitulo se presenta una guia de trabajo que describe los pasos a seguir. El capitulo cuarto explicita el rol de la monitora y su compromiso con los participantes. En el capitulo final se ha quirido dejar constancia de algunos testimonios recogidos, ya que constituyen el mejor elemento de juicio para evaluar esta tecnica.

On January 20, 1994 the worshippers at the Toronto Airport Vineyard Church began to feel the Holy Spirit move them. They began to laugh uncontrollably, collapse to the floor, stagger as if drunk. But what was truly startling in this occurrencee"now commonly known as the Toronto Blessinge"is that these manifestations keep appearing at the Toronto church and have sparked a worldwide charismatic revival. Visitors from around the world have come and started revivals in their home churches upon return. In Main Street Mystics, Margaret Poloma explains what is happening with this contemporary charismatic revival without explaining it away. From her unique position as both a scholar and a pilgrim, Poloma offers an intimate account of the movement while always attempting to understand it through the lenses of social science. She looks at Pentecostalism as a form of mysticism, but a mysticism that engages Pentecostals and charismatics in the everyday world. With its broad overview and up-close portraits, Main Street Mystics is essential for anyone wanting to understand the ever renewing movement of Pentecostalism.
