Festival Season is Upon Us

We are so excited that the sun is back, the days are long, and the rivers are plentiful.

This summer season will find us sharing our skills and passions at festivals all over Aotearoa.

After an incredible month in Montreal diving deep into the pedagogy and practice of AcroYoga with the mesmerizing and awe-inspiring AcroYoga Montreal crew, Jen will be focusing the next few months on sharing her movement inspiration.  

To start things off, over five fabulous days of camping and playtime over New Years 2020, Jen will be teaching workshops at the Mix festival, one for beginners, and one for finding your creative flow.  Come discover new ways to twist and push and balance and play!

More AcroYoga soon after, at Nelson's infamous Evolve festival, January 24th-26th

And then she'll be heading up the north island to one of her favorite community festivals, Voices of Sacred Earth at Kawaipurapura Retreat Center

And to top it all off, Andy will be leading a Contact Improv Workshop: Exploring Place and Inanimate Partnership, at the Conscious Dance Aotearoa gathering, here in Motueka.

So much movement! So much goodness.

See you all there!!

 

Birthday Celebrations, Autumn Travels, and a Hui filled with Play and Community

What a beautiful way to step into Autumn!
A few days ago we were wrapped in wool and blankets, and now the sun is shining bright and hot, like summer is finally ready to arrive!

And with Autumn's arrival, we have some offerings, both in our new home town, and as we head north to visit friends and family.

FIRST, This Saturday (April 1st!) is Andy's birthday.

To celebrate the immortal fool in us all, we will be having a workshop of THEATRE of LIBERATION; using drama games to see oppression in society & co-creating possible solutions to it.... fun eh!

Based on the work of Augusto BOAL, Jen & Andy will facilitate this play/workshop. Please bring your friends & family of all ages.

PLACE; Music room, GOLDEN BAY HIGH SCHOOL, Takaka

(carpark on Rototai St, near the jungle gym)

TIME; Saturday 1st April, 2pm - 4.30pm (we will start at 2pm so please come ready to start!)

COST; free! (yummy organic snacks appreciated to share!)

If you want to make a day of it, local farmers and artisans gather Saturday morning near the library starting at 9, and there is a 12:30 acro-yoga jam at BAY YOGA to warm up if you want!!!

THEN, during the second half of April, we will be offering two more playshops, one on Paekakariki and one in Whanganui.  Dates and times coming soon.

And FINALLY a big SHOUT OUT to Conscious Roots, an incredible gathering of playful, curious, heart-centered community.  To the organizers, the volunteers, the dancers and musicians, cooks and clean-up crew, all of the co-creaters, especially those that joined us for Theater of Liberation, AcroYoga, and Contact Improv, you filled our heart sails.  Here's just a few pics of the weekend:
