In Silence Contemplative CI meeting

About this event

A 5-day contemplative Contact Improvisation meeting in silence at the International Theosophical Centre (ITC) in Naarden, Netherlands (September 22–26, 2026). ITC is a quiet retreat estate 20km east of Amsterdam, close to the old fortified city of Naarden, known for its calm atmosphere and natural outdoor areas. The meeting takes place in Crystal Hall — a 110m² studio with wooden floor and large windows. Accommodation is in duo or single rooms, all with private shower and toilet. The gardens and walking areas support meditation and reflection between sessions. Alessandro Rivellino guides the practice from a profound sense of silence and his signature somatic approach, offering contemplative practices and classes to help participants dive into their contemplative potential and direct it into the embodied openness of Contact Improvisation. Lana Korotkova co-facilitates. Some experience with CI and/or partly silent retreats is recommended. 20 spots total. Donations welcome to help participants without means to pay in full.
