ZAMEK Culture Centre

The Refuge of Respite is where you work with the body as you laze around, look after yourself, as well as care for and strengthen the other.

The Refuge of Respite is a land of:

- dancing together

- (self)hugging and feet shuffling

- building blanket dens of respite and tucking each other in,

The Refuge of Respite is a time for:

- working with the body and voice,

- sharing ways to (self-)soothe,

- looking for places in the body that strengthen and bring calm.

The Refuge of Respite is a time for you!

Bring a blanket and join us!
