Clowning Retreat

9th to 10th February 2023, by Nicolas Mahnich

Being a clown, in a way, is playing with what is here.

This game can be expressed in many different ways: Movement, dance, eye contact, sound, speech, singing…

Playing and being, while keeping it light.
Whatever comes out of you, however it comes out, why it comes out. The result is already part of the past, and what we want is to live the present.

What are you feeling within yourself, what comes out?

Just allow yourself to be.

Live the moment, learning to expose yourself to yourself, and while doing so, exposing to the other what they are, and what is alive within them.3:32 AM

Circlesongs Lab

From February 7th to 11th, by Nicolas Mahnich

Labs are space-times of exploration around collective improvised singing that lead to intensive work. We go through the process of kneading music with our voices, sometimes to contemplate it from global point of view, sometimes to dissect all its concepts and details.

An invitation to enrich our awareness and understanding of music, nourishing our improvs and the way we live them.

Dates: Monday February 7th at 11am to Friday February 11th at 1:30pm

Free, conscious price: no fixed price. You can give or not give anything (or exchange a service or goods), knowing that your presence and enthusiasm are already quite a gift.

Conditions: in spite of the free price, we have to ask for a minimal contribution to cover lodging (dormitory accommodation is included). That amount is 75€ for the whole week, paid in advance, which will also book your spot in the workshop.

Food: The place is equipped with a complete kitchen. The best thing would be to join our food and make cooking teams in shifts to manage everyone’s meals, but we can function otherwise, especially for special diets. To get supplies, you can find a grocery store in the village, and supermarkets 15 minutes away by car.

Accommodation: there is room for everyone on site, the practice room will serve as a large dormitory with mattresses on the floor (remember to bring your sheets). If the idea of a dorm doesn’t suit you, guest rooms are available on site. Contact ViaYoga directly.
