Summer CI retreat with Rick Nodine, Tender Agility, Gaia Terra

It is called Tender Agility, and it's all in the name:

tender: /ˈtɛndə/ 1. showing kindness and affection
agility: /əˈdʒɪlɪti/ 1. ability to move quickly and easily

It will be a 6 day CI intensive (24-30 August 2026) in the North of Italy, with workshops, bodywork and somatics sessions, Jams, hang out in the sun and swim in the river. We have been wanting to collaborate with Gaia Terra for a long time, so we are excited about spending a week in this Ecovillage nested in beautiful countryside, equipped with a state-of-the-art dance studio and gardens where they grow the food we will eat.

CI Workshops will include:

• Somatic exploration

• CI technique/patterns and skills

• Exploration space
