Hi there, you beautiful spinners, you,
I will be hosting poi retreats on unbelievably beautiful Salt Spring Island from August 5th to the 19th. Come upgrade your skills in paradise! (Visit https://www.thevenue.org/firespinning.htm
to learn more).
Structure:
•We’ll begin each day with yoga, chi gung, alignment exercises, and other movement explorations, and a discussion of how they relate to skill toys and skilled movement. Then... breakfast (smoothies... see below)!
•After Breakfast we will explore poi "moves,” balance, turning and spinning, rhythm, grace, and style. Guest teachers will lead us through brief workshops related to specific skills (yoga, belly dancing, etc.)
•After Lunch is fun time! We’ll merrily gallivant off to the beach, woods, etc. for an afternoon of adventure (bring your poi if you want, but no pressure).
•After Dinner we'll relax, digest, and then begin an evening of dancing, poi and fire spinning, and general festivities around the camp fire.
*Please note: There will be an emphasis on ensuring that each participant leaves the retreat with a list of skill drills and other practice exercises that will keep them improving for a long time to come.
Lodging: The retreat will take place on a beautiful B&B property, just up the hill from the ocean and a short walk from fresh water swimming. (https://www.saltspringisland.org). Choose between camping with full access to facilities, or have your own room inside.
Food: All participants will have access to the community kitchen. Healthy and affordable vegetarian meals will be available from our gracious hosts ($details coming soon). I will be assisting in smoothie preparation each morning. (For those who don’t know, I am chief of Smoothie Research at the GarudaRoom Smoothie Research Division: https://smoothieresearch.org
).
Costs: $70/day or $300/week if you’re camping (includes access to bathrooms, kitchen, etc.) An extra $10-15/day if you want your own room inside.
%20 off for every other person you sign up.
Email poi@thevenue.org if you're interested.
Peace
