Movement Medicine Journeys

  • Journey to the Wild Heart

    What is the truth of what is in your heart, what things do you wish to create with your time? What stories have been woven that need to be either played out, or let go of?

    In the Journey to the Wild Heart Movement Medicine Journey, we will take a deeply self loving journey, but we will also bring with us a more vivid clarity about our wild and passionate natures.

  • The Dancers and the Dreamers Dance Workshop

    The Dancers & The Dreamers

    Are you someone who feels that they rarely dream? Do you have trouble remembering your dreams? Perhaps you are someone who keeps a dream journal next to their bed.

    In this Movement Medicine Journey, we will explore through movement and artistry the hidden messages in our dreams, and ways that we can play with moving into stronger and more clear dream recollection.

    We will leave feeling a deeper connection to the world of dreams, dreamers, and how our personal dream medicine moves in the waking world.

  • Prana, Passion & Purpose

    Are you familiar with the energies that move and cycle through you on a regular basis – without you giving them conscious thought?

    What are these energies, and how do they correspond with the sensations and energies that we are aware of – the thoughts, ideas and sparks of creative energy that flow through and around us?

    In this Movement Medicine Journey, we will uncover these ideas and understandings in fresh and new ways.

Women’s Empowerment Retreats are designed for women to gather and explore, create, move, and express.  Empowerment takes on a different definition for every woman. At the core, these workshops are an opportunity to dive into some yoga, dance, movement medicine, ceremony, creativity, and healing. 

The space in these Women’s Empowerment retreats is set and held for you. You will be able to take some time for yourself and release what is no longer serving you, gather the strength and tools to move into your next phase, and get clear about what it is you would like to create for the next phase of your journey.

Women’s Empowerment Retreats

  • Fierce (Com)Passion

    Fierce, in this sense, means “very strong”. As women, we tend to carry the world on our shoulders and our worries and passions around in our hearts.

    This workshop will explore the feminine force that emerges when we harness our emotions and transform them into spiritual awareness.

    We will learn ways to awaken this power within ourselves, and ignite our creativity and desire to change our surroundings – and the world! – through compassionate action.

  • The Dreaming Body

    ​In this workshop, we will be exploring the images, myths and metaphors that express our personal and collective concerns and experiences.

    There is now a dream patterning within the collective psyche. This force is symbolic of the matriarchal soul, and its vibration is in deep relation to the health and the fate of the Earth herself.

    At the heart of this work, we will explore healing possibilities and solutions, at both the microcosmic and macrocosmic levels.

  • Moving the Medicine

    Reconnect with yourself on the deepest internal levels. We will use imagery, reflective questioning, dream work, and story telling to assist with integrating our inner and outer experiences.

    There will be stories, teachings, and ideas for using timeless shamanic principle in our own lives. The body has an inner wisdom, and when we work with it more closely and tune in on deeper levels, we are better able to chart out and strengthen our personal medicine.

    ​This assists us with creating a toolkit that we can draw upon whenever we need to, in any circumstances.

  • Sacred Shakti

    Shakti is the female principle of divine energy. It represents the divine forces that move through us, and the universe itself. It powers spiritual growth and the awakening of consciousness.

    This workshop holds a strong focus on strength, fitness and grace for your physical, emotional, and spiritual self. We will dance and make dances that are fun and balancing. We will learn methods for building the body as a healthy, happy, and sacred space.

    We will get balanced while kneading away tension, and sharing beautiful quality time with our sisters.

Team Building & Embodiment Retreats have been designed for groups, organizations and co-workers to take a time out and reconnect with self, and with others in the group. 

Most of us have the great gift and pleasure of loving our work!  Yet there are times when we all need to push the pause button, and get away from the every day.

Sometimes this needs to be with the people that we work with, so that we can all refresh and move to new heights within ourselves and with our projects.

These retreats can be made into a full day or a weekend session. 

Other modalities such as Yoga, Pilates, Partner and Small Group work, and any Movement Medicine Journeys can be made a part of the retreat. We will use movement and embodiment techniques, as studies are showing these methods now to be paramount in creating emotional wellness and strong cognitive function.

Team Building & Embodiment Retreats

  • Creativity & Innovation Cafe

    Many organizations have discovered that engaging in more arts-based learning practices has helped to shift attitudes, clear assumptions, and create fresh and fertile ground for new projects to take root.

    The Creativity & Innovation Cafe will help with the process of bringing out the inner artist. Learn to re-frame problems within problem solving, uncover and bridge relationships between events and ideas, and use all of your senses to reveal insights!

  • Weaving Common Ground

    What to do when you have a large amount of multi-talented people with lots of ideas to call their own?

    How do you bring all of these ideas together in a way that everyone will feel heard, and the best nuggets of inspiration and innovation will be allowed to shine?

    Through close collaboration, there can be a nurturing forum for exchanging knowledge, cooperation and consensus, identifying and overcoming barriers, and decision making.

    Create networks and foster relationships that will build upon trust and innovation!

  • Waves, Words & Muses

    This retreat will cover the fine arts of Brainstorming and Public Speaking. How do we get comfortable with not only our voices, but with communicating inspiration?

    It takes skill to bring intuition and logic into balance with each other, but the results and benefits of doing so are rich in scope.

    Learn how to foster creativity, tune into natural and creative rhythms, recognize when ‘stifling’ is happening and how to prevent it, and gain new insights into problem solving skills!
