After a long global pause …
… it’s time to meet and embrace the simplicity & beauty of being together.
Deepening the connection to inner and outer nature within a group of like-minded people, we will re-learn how to meet each other & ourselves and synchronize with the pulse of life.
How does life want to express itself through you?
Five days of…
dance, emotions, expression, art, intimacy & collective envisioning.
How does it feel to breathe, move and create as
one organism?
The Dance of Life offers a colorful mandala of workshops, rituals, music, lectures & ecstatic celebrations.
Our intention is to open, cultivate & merge deeper into a field of trust and love.
To dance the Dance of Life means to celebrate joy, grief, anger, bliss, pain and beauty with the same passion.
We invite the whole spectrum of the human experience to this dance.
This is a huge celebration as much as a deep research and collective creation of knowledge.
What vision for a sustainable future for all Life wants to come through us here and now?
The Program
The structure of each day is inspired by an element. We gather in the morning to start the day as one.
Throughout the day there will be a variety of offerings to explore and to embark on your individual journey, weaving it all back together in a colorful collective celebration in the evening.
