Come engage with the deep processes your body, mind and spirit are hungry for. Ignite your curiosity with rhythm and play. Reconnect to the whole experience that is living with rhythm in you.
Embodying rhythm allows us to explore the depth of our human capacity, creativity, self knowledge and sense of ourselves as part of the whole. This immersion is an invitation to reconnect to your internal rhythmic landscape and open all your windows of knowing; senses, imagination, intellect, emotions. Delving into the pulse, cycle and space of the rhythms we will play at the edges of what we know, don’t know, and can only just barely imagine in ourselves and in rhythm. Cool right?
We can not say what this journey into the rhythmic world will be for you. No traveler really ever knows what they will get most out of a trip before they leave. But taking the journey opens the door to the greatest of possibilities. This may be a journey for you!

This way cooking and food gathering can be arranged within each group. There is a large kitchen available to us in the Wasson House so we don’t have to leave!
