HomeComing is so much more than a dance retreat.

It’s ritual. Ceremony. Rest. Play. Nourishment. Time in nature. Dropping deeper into yourself while being held in connection with others.

You don’t need to know how to dance
You don’t need to arrive feeling ready
You only need to arrive as you are

Come dance. Come connect. Come home. 🤎

When I recall my journey with dance, it started when I was 18. Back then, I was part of a dance crew where we explored different dance genres - hip hop, house, groove, street jazz, locking, popping, contemporary, etc. We met up at least twice a week. Being able to move and be in community alongside like-minded bodies was amazinggg ✨

This continued for 8 years until I experienced an immense health situation that left me frozen and too weak to move. For 2 years, I wondered if I would ever have the strength to dance again. With so many emotions moving through me, losing dance meant that it was one BIG pathway that my body / mind couldn’t discharge or express itself. Instead, expression came through unbearable symptoms.

One day, I was sitting at my balcony. Clearly depressed, yet faintly holding onto the slightest bit of hope. I started moving my body gently in an un-choreographed manner, letting what I was feeling express itself through my body. As I moved, I experienced a surge of current coursing through me. I was in control of my body, yet this current moved me, sounded through me, and at times contorted my expressions. Dear friends, I genuinely thought I was possessed 🤡. Yet I continued because after each “dance,” I felt lighter and more anchored within myself.

As I journeyed further along my recovery path, delved into nervous system science, somatic, and trained with like-minded bodies, my understanding of what was happening began to grow. Now termed somatic movement/dance, this is such a wonderful gateway for restoration, reconnection with ourselves, and remembering the bigger collective field that’s here for us and within us. It’s also a wonderful gateway for aliveness, joy, and not taking ourselves too seriously. As much as life can be hella freaking tough sometimes, ease and vibrancy are a reality when we allow ourselves to be open to them.

I’m looking to create and co-create more dance containers with people for whom movement is a pathway, or who are simply curious about it. You don’t have to be a “dancer”, just a willingness to move deeply and share your honest expression. Looking forward to dance together soon 💃🏻🕺❤️
