About company
Your host and founder of the space
Your host, Nadia Ring, has BA in Psychology and Masters in The Studies of Religions from UCT and Honors in Communication Studies from BSTU (Minsk, Belarus). She is an ecstatic dance DJ offering New Moon ecstatic dances for the Cape Town community since 2019. She loves working with clay and is offering art classes in clay sculpture for the residents of Eco Villa and a few women from the township community. Her creative inspirations, normal routines, and work are informed by indigenous philosophies and balancing relationships with the Earth.

Nadia crafted a space that reflects her striving for beauty, creativity, and a nature-oriented way of being. She found two methods to be especially powerful: conscious dance and clay sculpture — two beautiful modalities that capture the ineffable part of reality, both in the moment and in the body of the Earth.
