This encounter has been celebrated in Mexico and Guinea Cky, created as a cultural immersion and artistic formation in 2015. Throughout its multiple editions it has been a bridge bringing people together from all over the world.

A unique experience, an oasis where mind and body unify through the human experience of happiness and celebration held by art and culture.
