This is a place for exploring possibilities, ideas, skills and techniques. A space in which we ask (and possibly) answer questions about a variety of meditative practices, the magnificent form of Contact Improvisation and how these two forms can speak to each other through our bodies, hearts and minds.

This is a robustly facilitated but flexibly structured space where high-caliber learning and teaching happen. But this is not a typical class format. A🧪 lab(oratory) is a place for experimentation, exploration and asking “what if?” questions.

No experience in meditation or in Contact Improvisation is necessary, beginners are warmly welcomed, but high levels of engagement, critical thinking and autonomous, self-directed and self-motivated approaches to learning meditation and Contact Improvisation are required. There will be silence, space and ambiguity. Please come with that expectation in mind.
