Practicum Study Tour
El Salvador Edition
Tropical Beats
Feb 12-17, 2023
Welcome to the Practicum Study Tour
The Practicum Study Tour will provide live teachings for those who have completed at least 75% of the Dance as Medicine Teacher Training of 2022.
The focus will be on what is much harder to achieve online such as circle work, embodiment, functional movement, crowd reading, space holding, ceremony, and the actual transmission of the medicine.
We will also work with the public, therefore you will get a chance to build mini-sessions, transmit the teachings in a small group setting, and either assist or lead aspects of a group session.
The first stop is coming up this February in El Salvador. The workshop location also offers accommodation should you wish to create your own retreat out of it.
Welcome to Balancé
El Salvador's Premier Surf & Yoga Retreat
The Grounds
Stay on-site and dive in; retreat style!
The grounds are private, serene, and enveloping; relax by the salt-water pool, discover the wholesome café, or take a sunset stroll on the beach.
Balancé is located in the heart of El Tunco, on the river, and steps from the beach. This quaint surf town offers plenty of restaurants, coffee shops, and stores within walking distance.
