About Us

Roots, earth, kundalini, abstract figures, chakras, clear sky, breath.jpg

Our retreat takes place at the beginning of May, a time of growth and abundance, where new ideas can root and blossom .

Through breathwork and embodiment practices you will experience the root of you, your core, deep within your bones. A remembering of who you are.

From this rooted place you will explore the gentle spiraling upward movement of kundalini energy. An energy that is always there to be tapped into.

There will be nervous system exploration. An opportunity to get to know your default patterning and learn ways of moving out of freeze or overwhelm.

We will move and dance, into Summer's light, thawing out stagnation and releasing tension that may be holding you back.

There will be plenty of time for integration to solidify your experience so that you leave the retreat with an embodied knowing of all that has emerged.
