Description
This is a special opportunity for Contact Improvisation dancers only!
If you want to come and you never danced, take some classes, go to a Jam and talk with me afterwards :)
We go together to Jams and events around the area, host a friends CI Jam on the land and have spontaneous sessions with people from the community.
Located at the outskirts of Monchique mountain range, 20 minutes drive from beautiful surf beaches and picturesque touristic towns, this is a non profit project focused on nature.
Here we:
- Grow food in a gentle and holistic way while improving the soil.
- Creating community spaces and hosting events and friends.
- Explore Contact Improvisation, meditation and somatic healing.
- Enjoying the peaceful life, the clean air and the shining stars.
We eat vegetarian, and we try to buy everything local, organic and fair trade.
The land is big and the work is mostly physical, I'm looking for fit, positive, independent people who like to spend two weeks in the calmness of nature and relaxed co existence.
It is recommended however to stay here with a car as there is just too much to do and see around :)
Let's talk!
