Impressions

I arrived on Friday rigid and armored, hard toward myself. With every hour in our shared field, I melted a little more, until in the end I felt completely soft again — comfortably soft and reconnected to life.

Veronika

For me, the dancers’ village jam felt like coming home.
Here, I could show myself as I am — with my intensity, my love, in freedom, appreciated and supported.

Isabelle

I’m still deeply touched and fulfilled by the dancers’ village jam. During those days, I experienced a profound sense of safety and appreciation!

Michael   

I’m still deeply inspired by the peacefulness of the dancers’ village, and simply: I would have loved to stay longer.

Renada

It was wonderful — ‘nourishing and encouraging’ describes it perfectly for me. I’m already looking forward to the next jam up in the Sommerecke.

Pete

The summer days are still resonating within me — the atmosphere, the encounters, the offerings. Abundance and inspiration.

Anna-Maria   

In the afterglow of August, I’m still carrying the wonderful experience of the nighttime dance up there on the Sommerecke…
I actually dream about CI and think of dances of light and shadow.

Bea

I wanted to thank you again for the intense, connecting, and deeply fulfilling time up there on the mountain. It was simply beautiful. I will definitely come back.

Jacob  

The jam was a space of closeness, touch, intimacy, and being that we created together, and in which I was able to expand my inner self. I feel deeply gifted.

Michael

The dancers’ village weekend was truly something very special. I now feel renewed and enlivened in a gentle way. A great enrichment and expansion.

Our Vision & Mission

We want to create spaces where we experience healing and personal growth supported by the community,
where we can grow into our own love for ourselves and the world, and enjoy life while serving a new world that achieves a conscious balance of the needs of us humans and all other species on this earth.
And as a side effect, in the process, we also fulfill our own needs, dreams, and happiness .
