SAVE THE DATE: 27 Feb - 1 Mar 2026 | Blue Mountains, NSW
Immerse yourself in a weekend of Connection, Dance, and breathtaking nature. We are excited to invite you to a special Contact Improvisation retreat in the stunning Megalong Valley.
Bringing Joerg to the Blue Mountains has been a long-held dream. As I began hosting regular local classes, that dream evolved into a clear intention: to share a deeper, more immersive experience with our community.
I deeply admire Joerg’s teaching style and his unique gift for weaving truly special—even magical—spaces in his workshops. I am thrilled beyond words that he has generously agreed to travel here and share his craft with us on Dharug and Gandangara Land.
We’ll dance in a beautiful, newly restored hall overlooking majestic cliffs and gather by the creek under the vast sky. This is a chance to deepen your practice in an inspiring, communal setting.
