💬 Wrong details?

We are cultivating a new scene: A network & creative cauldron for embodied genius, art, world builders/hackers, nerds, black sheep, (nature) lovers, & cultural activists. We swim in the edges of possibility, where the path from imagination to reality is short & sweet. We are pragmatic, caring, & utopian. This project is run by a non-profit association & is a decommodified space. Not a spiritual community.

Frequent activities include collaborative art projects, playtesting new workshop ideas, conversational salons, cuddles, karaoke, serious nerding out, foraging, contact improv & partner dancing, meditation, open mics, book clubs, board game nights, music jams, yoga, spa sessions, beach trips, social experiments, waterfall adventures, circus arts, raves, masterminds, and more. This is co-created, the world is yours.

Not actually closed down however is apparently a gated/private community. [–Ed.]
