2 full weeks of poi dancing, dance, yoga, celebration, creative expression, and explorations of a beautiful and unique island. Choose the first or second week, or do both! (May 9-15 and May 16-22)

ABOUT BALI:
Bali is part of Indonesia, and lies about 8 degrees south of the equator, in the Indian Ocean, to the east of the Java and north-west of Australia. It has an ancient and very unique Hindu culture.

OUR VENUE:

Jaguar Mary (the video artist behind many of our videos, and now also the mastermind behind the DC Hoop Collective) is organizing the Sacred Circularities Hoop-Dance Retreat in Bali, just a week after our own poi retreat. It's focus is personal evolution through movement, and it looks like a great team of people to play with. It looks like Bali is becoming the Flow Capital of the world! :)

***NOTE: THE MARCH RETREATS ARE FULL! WE HAVE DECIDED TO HOST AN EXTRA RETREAT IN MAY. DETAILS COMING SOON :)

THE VISION:
A week of poi dancing, meditation, and deep personal transformation at Damanhur, one of the world's most active spiritual centers.

ABOUT DAMANHUR:
Damanhur is an ecovillage and spiritual community situated in northern Italy. It was founded in 1975 by Oberto Airaudi and a group of devotees who built the Temples of Humankind in complete secrecy with their own hands. The Italian authorities ordered the work destroyed because it had been constructed without planning approval. This order was subsequently revoked when the authorities saw the temples with their own eyes. Today Damanhur is a permanent community of over 1000 people.

RETREAT FORMAT AND SCHEDULE:
4 hours of poi lessons with Nick and Alien Jon every day, nightly play sessions, and daily excursions and guided meditations in the Temples of Humankind..

Day 1: 22 Sept ~ Arrival

Day 2 – 6: 23-27 Sept

Lotte Linssen has invited me to teach a weekend of workshops in Holland, near Nijmegen.

Each day we will offer 2 big workshops:

The Poi Foundations workshops will cover body movement, modes of poi movement, footwork, skill development techniques, and many moves and tricks. This class is for all experience levels.

The Advanced Poi Spinning workshops will cover compound circles, mode switching, atomic patterns, dance and performance concepts, and many advanced moves. These workshops are for those who know all the basics already.

The workshops will be followed by food, music, fire spinning, and party time! We've booked our own private camp ground so there is lots of room for everybody to camp Saturday night!

Lots more details on Lotte's Dutch website.

Contact us if you think you can come.

The European Juggling Convention is the world's biggest juggling event. It draws hundreds of poi spinners, and thousands of jugglers, together for ten days of workshops, performances, collaboration, and celebration. Most of my European friends say it was their favorite event last summer in Europe, and this year is looking just as good, as many of my best friends and favorite poi artists are going.

This year the EJC is in Vitoria-Gasteiz, in northern Spain, come join us!

Poi Superhero Alien Jon is touring the west coast, sharing his poi superpowers with all.

Jon has consistently blown our minds with his poi abilities and teaching abilities. Take his classes if you can!
