SUN, SEA, DANCE
A summer dance retreat by the sea, in a wonderful, wild natural environment, where the main focus is on replenishment and connection.
Nourishing ourselves actively – through movement and dance; and nourishing ourselves through rest – by immersing ourselves in the embrace of nature, the soothing waters of the sea, and the warmth of the sun.
The wildness and beauty of nature, the natural existence of the elements help us connect with ourselves, the simplicity of our being, and our elemental nature. From this connection with ourselves, we can also connect more authentically with each other, weaving a space of collective creation.
What to expect:
- replenishment in the embrace of nature
- connection with yourself in the simplicity of existence
- a communal experience, collective creation
- a space for softness and wildness, for acceptance and release
- fresh air, sea, trees, sunshine, rocks
The location is a private property, a fellow dancer’s land, very close to Rovinj, on the hillside of the Lim Bay, from where you can reach the sea in 5-7 minutes and return in 8-10 minutes. Jana, the landowner, approaches the countryside with care and responsibility. The land is off-grid, solar panels generate electricity, and drinking water is brought to the site.
There are composting toilets, and showers with hot water are available.
The dance floor is a beautiful, circular (exactly 12-sided) wooden pavilion on the hillside, with a covered roof and open sides (which can be closed in case of rain).

THE LOCATION’S RULES AND RESOURCES:
This area is a “living temple,” a nature reserve, where we practice care for the environment, commitment to the land, and compassion for all beings. Here, we do not flush waste into the sea, create wastewater, or damage the soil; we only use natural cosmetics and cleaners; we do not eat animal flesh, nor do we drink alcohol during rituals; we do not consume drugs; we maintain internal and external cleanliness; we conserve resources.
The land is completely off-grid. Sunlight provides electricity, and rain provides water (which is collected and filtered, but not recommended for drinking; drinking water is brought in). There is an outdoor kitchen and dining area in the woods, with composting toilets, showers, and washbasins.
