Currently Accepting Participants (Pre-registration required)

Experience the wisdom of Javanese dance in a natural setting with this workshop where you can “dance like the water.” Through movements of the body, participants aim to heighten their perception, gaining a sense of the earth, wood, wind, clouds, and the moon. On the last day participants will perform a dance to the sounds of gamelan music.
