THE LIVING ARTS GATHERING
A series of gatherings weaving together diverse artistic forms and practices that regenerate vital connections to self, community, and nature.
across Bath County, Virginia
Through a convergence of mediums, from movement and music to storytelling and connection to the land, we are co-creating a living space where our local community can return, again and again, to the regenerative power of art-making together. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Bath County, Virginia's mountains and healing waters, we gather to explore participatory workshops led by visiting and local artists, cultivate wisdom, embodiment, and new creative potentials, and reconnect with the intelligence of the local landscapes and rhythms of the natural world.
