Water Contact

Join us for a daylong "immersion" in the magical world of water-based Contact Improvisation! Whether you are brand new to Contact or you've been exploring it for years you are most welcome and wanted here!

This an intentional day of guided aquatic exploration in the realm of water-based CI. We will deepen trust, explore consent, playfulness, and experience nourishing relaxation.
