mindset
By inviting ritual and sisterhood into our life, we can open the gateway to a deeper experience of ourself. Give life a chance: empower your true self, vitalize life passages and personal transitions, ground yourself in nature and come back to your senses, emotions and intuitions.
Healing through ritual nourishes our body, mind, spirit and soul. It heals the wounds, the anger and the disappointment in us that are often hidden, unseen and unspoken. Rituals, ceremonies, community activities are seen as deeper healing solution to complex dilemmas and modern life problems, such as stress, anxiety or fear.
Join this camp, discover how to create personal rituals, celebrations, purifications, blessings, divinations, spiritual rejuvenations and creative group performances that activate the healing powers of nature and community.

description
- In the middle of a garden of delights, in contact with lush green leaves, vivid flowers, nourishing fruits, fertile soil, purifying fire, fresh water, and tender wind, in this camp you will create safe spaces, sacred dances, experiential rituals, unique celebrations and unforgettable community experiences.
- You will learn the different elements and essential steps that make up a ritual in terms of ceremony, dramaturgy and choreography, and experience how we can get profoundly supported and inspired by the magic of our environment.
- You will discover through textures, forms, colors, lights, sound, scents and symbols how to be guided by your imagination and led by your senses, intuitions and emotions.
- You will focus on contemporary performing art practices linked to ceremonies, shamanic rites, spiritual beliefs, healing, the life cycle, political power, social cohesion, and personal identity. You will explore how rituals embody and activate myths through dramatic and choreographic transformative devices, and how contemporary artists appropriate and traverse traditional boundaries between performance art, ancient rites, shamanic action, transcendental experiences, and myths.
- You will expand the range and breadth of the understanding of ritual, transcendence and immanence of the sacred, experience group creativity and feel the power of collective action.

Tinu Verghis (Goa, India)
I am a rice farmer and a performance artist from India. As an artist, I work with rice that I grow and I am interested in performances that challenge the body and mind. Using rice as my medium, I have the opportunity to delve deeper exploring my subjectivity; where my body is presented not as a bearer of meaning but as a maker of meaning. The hard work, the patience, the optimism, the wealth of traditional knowledge and the risks of growing rice, translates into my life and my performances.

Anna Adam (Budapest, Hungary)
I am a Paris-based performance maker and visual artist. My work blurs the boundaries between choreography, image and object, with the body and movement as central elements of expression. I also consider education and community building activities as part of my main artistic medium. I create non-judgmental and non-hierarchical soft-spaces where women rehearse for an upcoming revolution and practice physical and political resistance.
I have also a significant teaching experience in art and performance education (Academy of Fine Arts Vienna (AT), Conservatory of Dance and Choreography (AM), University of Artois (FR), University of Novi Sad (SRB), ZfinMalta National Dance Company (MT), Mediterranean Dance Center (HT)...).
