a process-based pole camp for curious movers

We value long-form process over a rush toward outcomes.
Sensation and presence lead our approach to movement, with patience creating space for breath and intention.
PDM Pole Camp is a shared space for movers to slow down, deepen their relationship to movement, and connect through playful exploration. -
