Healing Waters Retreat

Healing Waters Retreat
Living in community and weaving together the magic of water with participatory music, dance & movement practices, ritual, grief work, and world-bridging in expansive nature, we will co-create a container for expression, somatic exploration, aquatic investigation and healing.

~ Nourishment ~ Restoration ~ CommUnity ~ Connection ~ Creativity ~ Laughter ~ Balance ~ Play ~ Healing ~ Ceremony ~ Fun ~

Our classes and ceremonies will focus on accessing the depths of ourselves, creating exponential healing through community therapy, and shining light into the darkest places.

At Healing Waters, we empower participants to access their gifts and share their personal medicine bundles. Through this model of community therapy we can leave a big impact on each other’s lives enabling the healing medicine that we all carry to ripple out into the world.

We will be floating in a womb-temperature pool and dancing on 85 acres of land in Woodside, California! If you feel called to deepen your connection with water and movement, please join us!
