“… it’s a place where you go to connect with yourself, with your body, as well as connect with likeminded people, to meet new people, or to meet somebody you already know. A place where you go to leave everything behind for a few days, to re-charge, re-energize, and to re-set, to come back to your everyday life, work, family with full bag of energy, with full battery again.”
Ira, joined the Water (Ericeira, PT) & Fire (Stromboli, IT) Editions of the Movement Camps

To make the Movement Camp a playground for diverse movement addicts we always have 3-5 instructors onsite teaching different approaches to movement.
