Take the mountain,
Practice without any sense of movement or change.
If you are happy practicing with the mountain,
Trees, bushes, creeks, waterfalls, and all,
are the mountain’s magical creations.
So, be the mountain.

Be transported by this immersive experience where powerful performances, inspired by the strength and peace of a mountain, will touch your heart and soul.

Rani Luther, curator
