About the retreat
This retreat will focus on our "Presence" of Life. Be part of the world which is present as a drop in the ocean. All wisdom heads to this point, but every guide proposes a unique way to experience it. During this retreat, we will first focus on the body presence, then our body-mind presence and finally our presence to others, and lastly to the world. To experience these different steps, we will follow some exercises and learn situations inspired from Qi Dance, a trans-disciplinary research between Eastern and Western body-mind cultures.
