I landed in Turin on May 9 after a 13-hours flight and had stopped for a connecting flight in Munich—where I lost my luggage. Luckily, they were able to send my luggage on the next flight, and I had my luggage back in just a few hours.

I took a train to the village of Moncalvo, where Gaga Eden was located. A shuttle bus was ready to take our group of dancers to Orsolina28. As Gaga puts it, we researched our own bodies in sessions led by gaga instructors and Ohad Naharin himself- Mr Gaga. Tomatoes, cherries, barbecue, cheese and wine were also the best.

On the train to Milan, we encountered a strike. Thankfully, I was traveling with three other dancers from the retreat, so we were able to shared a 3-hours taxi ride to Milano Centrale.
