What it's about

Back to the essential,
to the body and the earth.

Down to Earth literally brings us back to the earth: a set of practices that awaken us, release tension and remind us who we are.

Through the four elements — Water, Fire, Earth and Air — a weekend of free dance, fire dancing, drumming, music and yoga, to walk through life more serenely, with more awareness, joy and freedom.

02 / ExpressionRhythm, fire & breath

Flow & release
