Sing and play in paradise (Música do Círculo's Retreat in Bahia Brazil)

INFO AND REGISTRATIONS: ENGLISH: https://www.musicadocirculo.com/en/retiro PORTUGUES: https://www.musicadocirculo.com/retiro GENERAL DETAILS BELOW: A gathering for us to experience music and connection in an immersive way in contact with nature. The idea is that we get together for a week away from the city to enjoy a coexistence that privileges affection, creativity, cooperation and a sense of community. Through vocal and body percussion musical practices based on improvisation games, body practices, dialogue and healthy eating the retreat establishes a field of deep listening, trust and playfulness that contributes to the development of musicality, sensitivity, self confidence and sense of belonging. After coming to the retreat people develop a deeper understanding of the Música do Círculo practice and worldview and feel more connected to the international musical community that has been growing since the first edition of this gathering in 2015. Since then we have received hundreds of people from more than 15 different countries, including experienced artists, restless educators, people who don't have music as a profession, and masters like Fernando Barba, Keith Terry and Christiane Karam. OVERVIEW From July 4th to 11th, 2026 The activities contemplate musical and human development practices: vocal music, body percussion, improvisation, cooperative musical games, Música do Circulo flows, body practices and listening practices. FOOD We'll have delicious vegetarian meals through the day: - Breakfast - Lunch - Afternoon snack - Dinner Note: if you have any dietary restrictions, let us know on the registration form.
