ACro and movement FOR ALL
INCLUSIVITY AND CONNECTION
THOSE ARE THE VALUES WE SEEK TO PROMOTE. WARREN, APRIL AND NICOLE MALENE STARTED NICA ACRO IN 2019 TO SUPPORT THE BUDDING ACRO YOGA COMMUNITY IN NICARAGUA.
IN 2019, WE HOSTED NICA ACRO FEST, A 3 -DAY EVENT THAT INCORPORATED ACRO YOGA, CAPOEIRA, SALSA, MARTIAL ARTS AND VARIOUS OTHER MOVEMENT ARTS.
IN 2020, WE HOSTED NICA ACRO PLAY! AT FINCA OSOM, A 4-DAY CAMPING EVENT. ONE OF THE EVENT’S MC’S, JOSH OWEN GREEN, AND HIS TEACHING PARTNER, NICOLE SCOTT, OFFERED TO HELP US ORGANIZE A SECOND NICA ACRO PLAY! AND HERE WE ARE…INVITING FRIENDS FROM AROUND THE WORLD TO COME TO OUR FARM TO CONNECT, EXPLORE AND PLAY! ONCE AGAIN.
Mission
“WE ARE GUIDES, TEACHERS AND AMBASSADORS FOR AWARENESS AND CONNECTION THROUGH PLAY. CREATING SAFE AND ACCESSIBLE OPPORTUNITIES FOR A DIVERSE COMMUNITY OF MOVERS.”
What to expect
Remember this is a campout! Please come prepared to dive into and enjoy the great tropical outdoors! It will be the middle of the dry season in Nicaragua. Although it starts to get quite hot during this season, the land around the volcano will stay comfortably warm, and even potentially cool at night.
We’ll have the opportunity to disconnect from the outside world for 5 days and connect with nature! During this train-cation it will be a good idea to bring…
Yoga mat
Sunscreen
Waterbottle
Bugspray
Headlight/Flashlight
Re-chargeable external battery (especially if your phone is your camera)
Swim suit
Towel
Allergy Medicine
Flip flops
Give yourself extras days in Granada after the festival! We will be planning group trips to
La Laguna de Apoyo, a volcanic lake and the surrounding nature reservE
A private Island , one of the 360 ISLETAs de Granada
And potentially other excursions, depending on everybody’ interests
