MORE DETAILS :
PRACTICE :
We will dive deeper into the 5Rhythms map from Gabrielle Roth. Nature explorations will open up the raw and sensitive ressources of our poetics into movement with sensual and experiential connections with the elements on amazing natural sites.
Practice the tools of contact improvisation to open up the multidimensional aspect of relating through the dance and pamper with massage and Thaï massage.
Our grounds are the wooden dance studio, the garden and forest, the sand, rocks and waves of the wild beaches and ocean.
Our sessions will be in live and mixed music and sometimes in silence.

Schedule and clock detox: No need to set your alarm, we will create a little ritual to wake you up gently in the morning and set new ways to make you be informed before and when the session starts.
