“We ate well, we slept well, we danced our hearts out. We connected with nature, we developed our artistic practices, we learned to connect more with one another. I really can’t put into words how beneficial this weekend was for us. My dancers tried new movements, my photographer improved their digital capturing, I finally got to try ideas and physicality I’ve had for years but never had the chance. This truly kickstarted the creation process for me and I wish I could have this forever! I will treasure this experience for a long time, and I can’t wait to be back ” – Ava Desiderio, recent participant
