Airy Roots Retreat in Orlice Mountains - Žíl, Orlice Mountains (Druna) - Javornice Přím, Czech Republic

Dynamic body work, movement both on the ground and in the air, light flight dance and contact improvisation. An intensive movement workshop leads you to specific use of body orientation mechanisms. It trains the body and mind in a way that they lightly pass between the ground and the air, between horizontal, vertical and upside down positions. At the same time, it activates less used parts of the body and less used ways of thinking.

The aim is movement rooted anywhere in space, progressively captured in imaginary locations and in imaginary directions. Movement that frees the body from effort brings delightful sensory perceptions in its flow and evokes euphoric states of mind.

Sweating, breathing fast and with shining eyes, we will learn the body’s secrets in motion. We will feel more in touch with the body than you can imagine. We will be speaking through the body, experiencing it, developing it and teaching it, discovering all its intelligence in movement, awakening the senses and maintaining physical comfort.

We will touch the potential of mind and body. We are going to get beyond logic and limits… in motion, in dance, in contact with a partner.

plan for the day

In the morning, we will wake up through touches, guidance, manipulation and exploration of the physical properties of the body, lightweight morning flying – contemporary dance on the ground and in the air, in the afternoon improvisation and jamming. In the evening massages, caressing, fairy tales and walks.

for whom

Intended for all movement enthusiasts, especially those who are fond of contact improvisation, contemporary dance, but also other movement forms and are eager to step outside the boundaries. For those who want to trust and go beyond mere imagination. Immerse themselves in the wisdom of our blood and nerves. Go through the process that will transform us.

This all is going to happen in the foothills of Orlice mountains in a house called Žíl on a vast meadow next to a forest. You go here by train or by bus. The nearest stations: Pěčín, Javornice - Přím, Rychnov nad Kněžnou. Address: Přím 33, Javornice, GPS 50.169522, 16.392851

Javornice Přím

Czech Republic

The house is situated in the unmistakable foothill nature of Orlice mountains full of dense forests and wide meadows and wolds which evoke the feeling of enough space to breathe a live, from the top of the hills beautiful sceneries can bee seen, the terrain is colorful and articulate and the forests interwoven with wild streams tempting for a swim. the small village of Přím is a peaceful place where during day bird singing, wind humming and cricket chirping wafts through the landspace and during the night the true dark prevails and only the moon and stars illuminate the wide sky. the house lies in the middle of a large grassy space directly neighboring with a forest and a meadow, without fence so a trip is always just a step away.
