Enramando — Jugar en Serio (XV edición)

About this event

15th edition of Enramando, a group process retreat held at the threshold of autumn around Contact Improvisation, voice and shared singing, play, presence, communal living, and ritual in nature. We live in times that push us to turn everything into productivity — even personal growth becomes another task. Against this, we want to reclaim play: not as distraction, but as a profound way of being alive — the capacity to explore without knowing, to improvise, to discover new possibilities in encounter with oneself, with others, and with the world. This edition gathers at the doorstep of the equinox, a threshold between summer's luminous expansion and autumn's more introspective quality — a time of ripening and harvest. Enramando is understood primarily as a group process: a ritualized cohabitation exploring what happens when a group agrees to meet from presence, availability, and care. The practices supporting this path include Contact Improvisation, vocal exploration, shared singing, rituals in nature, and somatic practices, facilitated through a Gestalt lens, group awareness, consent practices, and trust in collective wisdom.
