Permaculture and Dance

Join us for a week of Permaculture/yoga/dance and Tai Chi. Over six days we will dive into movement, stillness, work and play; cultivating space and building skills while maintaining our own practice or self-care. Each day will offer movement study and meditation along with work and practical skills.

We will be working on various cob projects, learning the techniques of cob building and various applications. There are many cob experiments at Leviathan to review and study from. This is an invitation to learn from my mistakes.

Daily practice will include Yoga, Tai Chi, dance and 3 meditation times per day offered throughout the week.Participants are not required to meditate, however, it is expected that they will be quiet during the three times per day. This quiet-time gives freedom to rest. There is no ‘fear-of-missing-out,’ and hence deep restorative rest can take place. This is an opportunity to practise getting up from the cushion and maintaining awareness in all of our actions whether it be movement study or the labour of cob work.

$425 including camping and all meals. The food is extraordinary, with a strong emphasis on local and organic. All food allergies are respected.
