This was our second weekend retreat, the first being Bare Your Soul (event 31) and was mainly a series of body-movement workshops plus fun creative stuff between. This gallery covers the days before the weekend when we were preparing and doing some extra photographic projects.

nomad-notes
This section of galleries is the second of 3 of these covering this long weekend of body-related workshops and other activities and covered here is Friday afternoon through to the end of Saturday night. I can't think of anything specifically to add as a note. Things flowed nicely from workshop to workshop.
