It is the 10th edition now with the combination of dancing in the beautiful town hall in Cooran and camping at the nearby Hillier Retreat with it’s stunning nature, the big dam, cosy outdoor kitchen … where we live together, hang out, go our ways …
I love how these Retreats bring the neighbour CI communities together from the Sunshine Coast down to the Nothern Rivers plus some long distance travellers.
A topic will emerge and be announced closer to the Event. In depth somatic work, essential CI technique and open frames for dancing will be part of our journey.
A basic understanding of CI is necessary to join.
One warm meal per day and basic cereal breakfast is provided by food master Ohn Pi!

OPENING MORE – KNOWING LESS

I wonder what helps me to have more options available in my dancing ? … and through that less the feeling of always doing the same but instead feeling more free.

There is a technical side to it. Our nervous system intuitively avoids the direction backwards and upside down. Let’s go there!
From a somatic angle I want to notice where we can soften core holding patterns, like in the breath, the upper neck and the hip joints. Can we notice these limitations generously as a first step towards opening up for more, while not knowing what that is?
I also like to play with some strategies around the use of our eyes, that lure me out of the comfortable known. A bit like tricking the body and the mind to know less about what’s going to happen next.
Next to these rather practical offers for ‚opening more & knowing less’ I am deeply curios about the state of mind (& heart) that allows more inner spaciousness and makes us truly available for what the moment is asking for?

Participants should be familiar with the basic weight-sharing principles) in CI. In doubt check in with us.
