~ Art of Connection - With Lauren & JUMAN.

Art of Connection Movement offers multilayered, deeply heart opening, embodied experiences that encourage people to move in the direction of unity.
In this unique Art of Connection experience at Secret Oasis, Lauren and Juman will take you on an empowering, emotive, and tantric journey to highlight the super power's we hold within our sensitivity as human beings.
Tantra ( Sanskrit: तन्त्र, literally "loom, weave, warp, woven together“)

Here, we'll weave breathe, somatic movement, yoga, music and connection together.

Using the power of subtleties in the voice, the breath and the body as a getaway to deepen inner listening - we'll be exploring how breath and movement can expand our capacity to connect to our sensuality, feel pleasure, connection and love.

Powerfully wake up to yourself, to the sacredness of your life, to others, to nature and to your day - with us at 9am on the main stage.
