PLUS good healthy meals, plenty of time for steam bath and hot tub and conviviality

Afternoon Laboratory will follow some topics coming out of community interest and giving plenty of leaway for personal interpretation and/or variation (specific themes announced as we get closer). the space is also quite large, so if people want to just have open jam space, the space will be available.

Morning Workshops will focus on the theme of "Poetics of Human Contact" ... a bit of technical exploration of physical sensitivity, availability, and power, and a bit of more creative and personal exploration.
