Contact Improvisation Practice Retreat 

29.5.-1.6.2025 in Barnin
With Angela-Mara Florant, Elske Seidel & Dino Spiri
Live music from Pan

We have found a great venue for this extended weekend – a wonderful farmhouse directly on Lake Barnin. We would like to offer a framework for both focused work and a relaxed and restful get-together.

The program consists of a CI Intensive, CI sessions in nature, singing and jams with live music. There will also be plenty of free time for enjoying the sauna, swimming in the lake and hanging out. The whole program will be supported by delicious organic food from Inga Striezel!

This extended weekend is for people with CI experience!

Price

Please note
The minimum fee only covers the costs of the location and the costs for food. In order to pay the musicians, the cook, the teachers and the organizers for their work, we rely on those who can pay more. We tried our best to come up with a pricing policy that is as inclusive as possible, considering that events like this have become much more expensive. The price includes sleeping in shared bedrooms, organic food, sauna, the CI intensive and jams!

Dance with the silence /
I Invite Magic /
I love making music for a dancing room, there, I can fly”

I have been cooking delicious meals for various seminars and festivals for several years now. Dancing in community, surrounded by beautiful countryside and water. I am very happy to prepare delicious meals for all of us using mainly seasonal food from organic farming. I lived in Berlin for a long time and have recently moved to the countryside in Lower Saxony. See you soon on the dance floor.
