Ocean Movement Residency // 19—25 September 2024
We’ll spend a CO-CREATIVE week together, exploring a blend of therapeutic and artistic practices while diving into meditative states of flow.
Our program weaves together:
Immersive / Co-creative Living
Different from a retreat, our RESIDENCY is an invitation to imagine a new world together—to envision and create projects/experiences/offerings that have perhaps, never existed before.
Join a unique constellation of artists, dancers & creatives.
Drop into a curated program of workshops, jams, dive excursions, tea meditations, sauna sessions, bonfires, nature trips, moments of rest and spontaneous experiences sure to nourish your creative soul.
Every RESIDENCY is uniquely different, joined by some of our favorite facilitators, dancers, and creatives from around the world
Who is this for?
We extend a warm invitation to MOVERS, DANCERS, DIVERS, ARTISTS & MUSICIANS who desire to co-create and actualize an imaginary world guided by nature, creativity, and our innate impulses for movement.
*Prior experience in contact improvisation (or a similar movement practice like contemporary dance, physical theatre or martial arts) and freediving IS recommended for all participants
Spaces are limited.
Applications will be reviewed and accepted in batches on an ongoing basis.
