Community Reflections
“Magic - full of synchronicity. It was both an exhilarating blast of a good time and perhaps the deepest and most consequential inner work I have ever done.”
— Steve
This is THE most exceptional festival/retreat I’ve ever attended and I will NEVER shut up about how amazing it was! I made friends/family for life. I felt so deeply held, loved, accepted and supported in a way I haven’t felt in a very long time. It’s brought me a sense of belonging and family. It felt like a coming home to myself and a reunion with and spirits from other lifetimes. I can’t wait to come back next year and bring friends.
— Laura
“Beyond what I could have ever imagined - it was my first year, i went alone and completely blind, it was magic”
—Andy
“Loving, transformational, gooey, life affirming, heart opening. The people I met were so authentic and I was honored to connect so deeply with other participants.”
—Anonymous
Our Vision
Our community is passionate about the incredible power of dance to spark both personal and collective transformation.
We create dynamic spaces where people from all walks of life can dive into their true selves, connect with kindred spirits and the land, and celebrate the art of conscious movement.
We believe that dance isn’t just about expressing ourselves; it’s about building a community that inspires, heals, and activates both on and off the dance floor.
