Strømme

In ‘Strømme / Current’, you’re invited to a transformation ritual. It’s a journey we take together and in which we all participate, filled with wonder and excitement. A journey where our body finds many different expressions. We explore what flows – what moves, as we go from one version of ourselves to another. From excessive consumption to shedding the cocoon through dances of self love. We call on ancestors, we travel through many bodies, we all meet in the ecstasy of celebration. Please join us under the shower of petals.
