A Syntropical Festival of Movement
through Dance, Rhythm and Voice for the Brazilian Savanna Healing Biotope
We invite all ages to courageously explore personal essence in this Dance and Music Intensive, as a calling to celebrate the archetype of Oxumaré, the Afro-Brazilian Orixá which represents the cycles and movements between the Cosmos and the living Earth.
This twelve-day intensive features the classes of unique mentors of dance movement, music, art, composition, improvisation and performance. Each participant is invited to develop their personal artistic practice, honoring their relation with nature through the exploration of ethnographies that draw strategies from the arts to probe issues of the Earth and its healing biotopes. In the spirit of learning and unlearning old movement patterns, strengthening oneself spiritually, one can examine oneself in somatic practices that emphasize internal sense perception; understanding the class content as expression of Universal Voices through African Ancestral Memory of Brazil and Cuba. |

Gathering in the heart of the Brazilian water cradle, Chapada dos Veadeiros, Arroboboi Dance & Music Intensive seeks to align indigenous living Earth wisdom and training of dance and music as expression of universal voices, with the intention of gifting energy to Earth, inspiring beauty in our daily walk and honoring our highest potential in connection with nature. |
"In these times, it is so important for us to deepen our relation to nature, and learn how to sustain ourselves, through community, creativity, song, dance, and communicating and working with the land. Time to harvest and walk forward receiving the Blessings."
