Otherland 4-Days Retreat by Mosso Art & Guest, August 26–29. All Genders | Contact Improvisation | Contemporary Dance | Somatics | Nature Jam …

Welcome to the dance retreat "Otherland"! In the Land of elves and fairies on the Barnin lake near Schwerin, we invite you to an intensive week in which you can live out your passion for movement and share it with others and yourself. Our focus is on creative expression, community and inner transformation.

A 4-day immersion into the treasures of your body, your movements, your feelings and the power of community to bring out the independence that lives within you.

The retreat offers an opportunity to step out of the everyday and into your natural ability to blend into your environment and go with the natural flow of things – dance, collective movement, bodywork, contact improvisation, nature jam, sauna and fire.
