October 2 - 7, 2007 – Northern Sierras | |
![]() | |
| In this backpacking expedition we will draw inspiration from the everyday miracles of the natural world while practicing Contact Improvisation, Yoga, Chi Gong, Bodywork and Nature Awareness. Open to those with or without prior movement experience, this week is dedicated to the development of our human potential to feel alive and joyful in body, mind and spirit. Who wouldn’t want to spend an entire week hiking, dancing, doing bodywork and frolicking in the pristine northern sierras? The cherry on top of it all: a trip to nearby Sierra Hot Springs to soak any sore muscles we may have gotten on the trail. | |
| Tuition: $550 | |
