The Vision:
June 22-29: Join Nick Woolsey on a beautiful rainforest island for 7 days of poi, flow arts, and adventures! Your experience will include:
- Diving into advanced poi and flow arts, including dance, rhythm, performance choreography, and moves!
- Practice and play on the huge, sprung dance floor
- Enjoying the forest, ponds, and sauna
- Immerse yourself within the beauty of Lasqueti Island (an entirely off-grid island where everybody makes their own electricity)
- Feeling good by eating yummy organic food
- Optional climbing of mountains and jumping into oceans
Why? To develop your flow skills while making friends!
Where? Leviathan Studio on Lasqueti Island, BC, Canada! (some hours and ferry rides from Vancouver)
Prerequisites: For this event you need to be comfortable with all the poi basics.
Lodging: Leviathan is RUSTIC. There are no private rooms. Most people will bring tents and sleeping bags. There is a room above the sauna with a few mattresses. There are also great spots for hammocks.
Food: We will eat like medieval royalty! Vegan and vegetarian dishes are served alongside organic meat (wild salmon, chicken raised on the property, and wild lamb or venison). All the food is cooked on a wood-stove. Kale is straight out of the garden :)
Please note the following:
- There are no flush-toilets, just nice outhouses.
- There is a rustic, outdoor shower, and a pond.
- The ferry to Lasqueti is for foot-passengers only. If you drive, you will have to leave your car at the French Creek parking lot. Parking costs $4/day
- We will pick you up at the ferry terminal on Lasqueti Island.
- All the electricity is from solar panels. Charging phones is ok, but no hair-dryers.
- There is a bar/restaurant with internet, a 20-minute walk away.
- Lasqueti is remote, off-grid, and a long way to the hospital.
- Leviathan Studio requires that you sign a disclaimer upon arrival.
- Yes, bring any toys that won't mark the wood floors! (fire-gear, hoops, levi-wands, juggling balls, slack-lines, etc.).
- Bring swim suits, hiking boots, bug spray, rain gear just in case it rains, board games, and anything else that may help you enjoy ten days in a temperate coastal rain-forest paradise. :)
Who is this for, and not for? This is for those who love camping and adventure, and who are excited by the idea conditions flirting with glamping-primitive (but with amazing food and a sprung dance floor)
Start and End Times: First meal will be dinner on arrival day. We'll have an opening circle with introductions after dinner. The retreat will finish after breakfast on June 29.
Getting There: Lasqueti Island is 5-8 hours travel from Vancouver, including two beautiful ferry rides (cost is about $38CAD). Make sure to visit the HOW TO GET TO LEVIATHAN page!
Summary: It's not just flow training camp, it's an adventure of a lifetime!
COST (including food):
One week: 1200CAD +tax (about 835USD)
**Balance will be due by the first day of the event, either by PayPal, Interac transfer, or cash upon arrival.
