Water / Earth Contact is a yearly program that aims to raise a space for awareness about how bodily territories circulate and intervene in natural spaces; and in turn how the awakening of sensitivity by the force of nature can also transform us. The power of the water, the currents, the temperatures that we can feel, the earth under our feet, the wind that covers us, the night and its sounds, the sun and its heat and all the elements that are always present in our environment.

This 5-day gathering includes practices on how to bring awareness to consent when coming into contact with others and with the natural environment, techniques like Cranio Sacral therapy or others to feel the rhythms of our cerebrospinal fluid and obtain subtle touch tools to bring those qualities to work on the water. Playa Cocles and Playa Chiquita will be the spaces to carry out our AquaSomatics explorations where we will have approaches to give one-on-one sessions from the body dancing with and through the water.

Our grounding will be the contact dance, on the one hand, from the somatic perspective we will delve into the bone system from the layers of bone and its joints, the mobile earth that we are. On the other hand, the Body/sense workshop will help us to awaken our sentient-thinking bodily nature and enter into full awareness of sensuality through cordiality, respect and collective consent. The Bodies in Nature experience will invite us to strengthen the intimate bond with different natural habitats and the feeling of integration with our home/land.

We will close the meeting with the snorkeling experience "Flying over the corals" to learn more about the underwater context of the space where we will dance. Corals are the bones of the sea.

Every year we have different guests teachers.

This year in october will be our 4th edition.
