Some testimonials from our previous gathering :
"I deeply appreciated the sharing and connecting, and receiving some really good deepening and clarifying classes." "I enjoyed very much being with colleagues in person and the thought and care with which it was all put together." "It is nice to spend a few days with people who are working, facilitating in the same field. It's like speaking the same or similar language with different dialects. Sharing connection and knowledges in a relaxed way through movement, talking, rituals, silence and become inspired and inspire…." "Well informed and cared, wonderful sharing and connection, nice and spacious retreat place". "There is a great pleasure in just being with colleagues from so many different countries and schools - other people who understand what we do, and have a deep reverence for our common practice. Such a treat !" "I loved meeting new people and the sense of together-ness, welcoming, open-heartedness, sharing experiences, learning, being inspired, I loved the fact that it included 'non dancing' teachers, I think different practices are so important for the body heart mind healing and all that jazz, I loved how collective and inclusive it felt, and also affordable." "The dances and exchanges with all these beautiful moving spirits, sensing/feeling being part of something bigger..." "That's a wonderful opportunity to gather with wonderful people, from all over the schools which to me rocks! And exchange share play inspire." "To be resourced and supported within community for your work..."
