THE ART OF RITUAL THEATER:

Rites of the Muse Part II: Collective Offering

A week-long in-person immersion with

ISIS INDRIYA and EVE BRADFORD

featuring local guest artists and musicians

 April 26 – May 2, 2026

in Carovigno, Puglia in Southern Italy

BECOMING THE VESSEL

In this long-awaited return to in-person ritual theater, Isis Indriya and Eve Bradford invite you into a 7-day immersive journey at Elāya, a 17th-century farm that is both a healing sanctuary and regenerative land project in Carovigno, Puglia in southern Italy. 

Over seven days together, we’ll move through the full arc of ritual theater—from inspiration and script creation to the culmination of a collective performance offering on Friday evening. The week closes with a half-day integration and closing ritual on Saturday.

Set amidst ancient olive trees and timeless Mediterranean beauty, this gathering is both a workshop and a living initiation into the art of embodying story, archetype, and ritual in community.

Music will also be a living thread throughout the week. Local musicians and guest artists will join us, adding layers of sound, movement, and devotion. Their presence reminds us that ritual theater is not only spoken, but sung, danced, and vibrated into being.

The primary purpose of this immersion is to reawaken our individual and community relationship with the lineage of this sacred art form, creating offerings of great potency, with cultural, spiritual, and artistic worth.

• Full-week immersive collaboration with Isis & Eve
