Forestango Retreat

24-27 of September
FORESTANGO: back to the roots Tango and yoga retreat in one of the wildest and most remote parts of Poland in a dreamy “Dreams and Stones”: hidden in the forest, made with love by an artist possession, just by the crystal clean lake with a traditional hand-made sauna and amazing, organic meals. What can you expect?
*Tango and chacarera workshops with Luciano Troncoso, an Argentinian teacher based in Berlin

@Yoga with Anna
@Yoga para tangueros Meeting with massage therapy to prepare and understand your body patterns even more
Cacao ceremony to connect more with your emotions and to awaken your senses
Milongas and practicas in a beautiful hall with glass walls in the middle of the forest
Everyday sauna sessions to have your body prepared and warmed up better during the dance Festivals, big events, marathons… we all love it, but this time we would like to propose you something completely different.
Forestango is created out of need for a real, intimate meetings in a small circle where we have a space not only to work on our tango technique, but also to find a space to listen to our bodies, sharpen the senses and connect with ourselves before we connect with another one.
It is created also out of need of a contact with the nature, of a space and peaceful surrounding where we can concentrate only on the process of learning and recognising for what we learn. PROGRAMM:
We are going to start with dinner at 7 pm on Thursday, followed by a tango class and practica.
The next days are starting with a body work class at 8.30 am, one tango class before the lunch and another one after the lunch.
You will be also given the chacarera workshop and everyday (Friday to Sunday) yoga session designed for tango dancers.
On Saturday evening instead of milonga we are going to gather for a raw cacao circle- a traditional senses sharpening and heart opening ceremony originating from Amazon tribes.
To have your body prepared even better, we are going to have everyday acces to the sauna in the afternoons and one special massage workshop.
Body work and yoga classes will be focused on balance, grounding, chest and shoulders opening and fluidity of the movement.
We are going to say goodbye after the lunch on Sunday around 2 pm.   ***Who exactly will be your guides through this body-mind four days process?*** Luciano Troncoso is an Argentinian tango teacher and multidisciplinary artist.
