🍁Step into a journey of dance, connection, transformation and deep rest. Our annual retreat is a heart-opening gathering devoted to embodiment, ecstatic dance, nervous system reset, rest practices, down-to-earth spirituality & radiant wellbeing!
✅A busy year has flown by and you long to relax, rest and rejuvenate through various embodiment & restful practices or maybe dance wildy in a sober & safe space? Are you feeling tired, stressed and sluggish? Is your immune system struggling? Is your mind, body and soul hankering for a reset? Do you long to connect with like-minded fellow humans? Do you want to feel recharged before the festive season?
If the answer is ‘YES’, then Autumn Reset Retreat - is for you!
This retreat is open to everyone; no dance or meditation experience needed.
It’s especially supportive for:
💜 First-timers: Curious about ecstatic dance, somatic & restful practices, and want a welcoming, well-held space to explore it.
💜 Burned Out: Need a few days away from screens, noise, and pressure; to move, breathe, and reset.
💜 Regulars: Already love ecstatic dance & sound journeys and want to go deeper with a community that gets it.
💜 Seekers: Looking for community built around presence and respect, not performance or alcohol.
You’ll be welcomed exactly as you are.
