🌿 What is Togethering?
Togethering is for those drawn to movement, to presence, and to the ways we come into relation.
It welcomes improvisers, dancers, musicians, artists and the simply curious. Anyone interested in what becomes possible in a shared field of awareness.
Each day begins in motion. Contact Improvisation is our way in, exploring principles of ground, space and attention. From there we follow what arrives in movement, in stillness, and in conversation with the land.
Not by planning, but by tending.
Not by doing, but by being with.
Rooted in the body. Fed by firelight and forest.
📍 Where We Will Be
Beech Hill is a living, growing project in the heart of Cheshire.
Twenty-seven acres of orchard, meadow and woodland hold a community shaped by food growing, rewilding and shared practice.
We will sleep in tents or simple indoor spaces. We will gather on the dance floor or beneath trees, share meals from the garden, and move through spaces shaped by earth, air and sky.
There are paths through long grass and young woodland, a fire circle, kitchen gardens and quiet places to be with the land.
Facilities
• Heated marquee with soft floor
• Showers and compost toilets
• Shared indoor and outdoor spaces
📅 What Happens Each Day
Mornings Contact Improvisation to arrive in the body, the group and the place.
Afternoons Eco-somatic practice and movement in nature, following shared scores across forest paths, soft ground and open meadow.
