OPEN CALL:
Moonlab / Laboratorio de la Luna
⚪
In the eye of the storm during this transformational time of our planet we are being invited to gather from heart to heart, share our gifts and connect overseas to grow seeds for the new world unfolding.
What?
Moonlab is a space for intuitive co-creation & ceremony for artists of all disciplines (troubadours, hula hoop queens, sculptors, healers, garden gurus, mothers, fathers, poets and clowns). We spend a week together in nature to re-invite the Fullness of Life through music and movement, laughter and meditation, creative practices, shared wisdom & inspiration.
When?
August 9-15 2023
Where?
In Casa Universo, our rustic home in Galicia, Spain. Close to many beaches of la Costa de la Muerte, cliffs, lighthouses, rivers and waterfalls. The property is on a land of 1 acre surrounded by trees on the edge of a little village in province A Coruña. The house has four double bedrooms and plenty of space to camp your tent or van.
Program
We facilitate a basic structure for the week with morning circles and a daily session/workshop. Everything is an invitation, no obligation. The structure is meant as a rhythm that leaves plenty of space for being in the moment and moving with what wants to be expressed from moment to moment. You are welcome exactly as you are.
8 AM Morning circle: intentions & movement (yoga, dance, swimming..)
10 AM till 1PM daily session/workshop
Between lunch and dinner you might want to explore the surroundings, dedicate this time to deep relaxation, reflect on your personal projects or open up to spontaneous (co-)creations.
6 PM> preparing & enjoying dinner together, relaxing, impro, ceremony or practice initiated by one of the attending artists

Brothers & sisters as mirrors. Creative 1:1 encounters along the river.
What are you ready to receive? What are you willing to share?
August 11:
Slowly we unwind and become more present with ourselves and the landscape. We explore how we can give more space to our authentic rhythms & speed with a workshop on Slow Creating and intuitive time ~ filled with journaling practices and sacred grounding by movement & breathwork on the edge of the Atlantic.
August 12:
Sunday = Songday. In workshop Enchanting Voice you receive tools and practices on how to connect more to the power of your authentic voice. No singing experience needed. In the evening there is a songcircle around the fire. Traditionals, originals, chants, mantra’s, popular songs, impro’s.. Any song or poem that burns inside of you and wants to be shared, is welcome.
August 13:
Silent day to dive deeper. Whatever is being activated these days, give it your undivided attention. Whether it is a spark of inspiration that wants to be transformed into a painting. Or a dream or feeling that wants to be seen. Walk, write, sleep, meditate, create, it is all good. You are invited to put your phone off and try to not go into conversation with each other until dinner. After dinner there is a sharing circle.
August 14:
Day of magic. Together we build a piece of art. Whatever form enfolds, let it be a dedication to the Fullness of Life. Maybe we walk in a parade to Finisterra. Maybe we improvise for 12 hours. Maybe we build a treehouse. Maybe we create a ceremony for the ocean. See video:
