It is called Tender Agility, and it’s all in the name:

It will be a 5 day CI intensive in the North of Italy, with workshops, bodywork and somatics sessions, Jams, hang out in the sun and swim in the river. We have been wanting to collaborate with Gaia Terra for a long time, so we are excited about spending a week in this Ecovillage nested in beautiful countryside, equipped with a state-of-the-art dance studio and gardens where they grow the food we will eat.

CI Workshops will include:

• Somatic exploration
