Seaside
retreats
the sweaty, satly, sandy (sunny) summer edition
24-25 August 2024
We study life and build up new understandings through active questioning and doing.
Always starting from a physical and creative approach, where practice and play go hand in hand.
The theme of this Seaside edition is Dunes of Play. We steward ourself through the world. While moving we find keys that matter to us. Keys to sustain a healthy household within ourselves and keys to nourish the relationships we have with our environment. While walking our walks they help us to navigate. With nuanced eyes, imagination and physical body work we zoom into our ways of mapping.
Early morning sessions on the beach to wake up and check in with our zero.
Afternoons are dedicated to movement situations, games, and partnering.
In the evening we return to a slow practice and deepen into writing and dialogue.
