Who This Retreat is For
You are someone craving deeper connection—to your body, your inner child, and the natural world. You want space to move freely, unplug from daily pressures, and drop into a rhythm that feels more natural, more human, more alive.
This retreat is for people who are ready to step away from overstimulation and into community, nature, and embodied presence. Whether you’re continuing your journey from our Sarasota 5-day June retreat or joining for the first time, this is a space to go deeper.
Why You Might Need This Retreat
Life moves fast. Even when you’re doing “the work,” it can still feel like something essential is missing—rest, integration, nature, and true uninterrupted presence.
Without intentional space, the nervous system stays in overdrive and joy becomes harder to access.
This retreat creates the container to slow down enough to actually feel your life again.
How This Retreat Complements the Sarasota 3-Day Experience
If the Sarasota June retreat is about building community, momentum, and daily practice in your real life environment…
This Rainbow River retreat is about deep integration in nature.
Sarasota = connection, consistency, local community, daily practice
Rainbow River = immersion, stillness, nature reset, deep nervous system restoration
If you attend both, you experience a full arc:
You awaken and connect in community (Sarasota)
Then you integrate, release, and restore in nature (Rainbow River)
Together, they create a powerful cycle of activation + embodiment + restoration.
You don’t need both—but if you do both, the transformation compounds.
Meet Your Guide
Kelly Atkins brings over 30 years of experience in dance, body-based practices, and facilitation. She has co-facilitated retreats in Costa Rica and Sarasota, creating grounded spaces where people can safely explore movement, emotion, and connection.
She and the SRQ Ecstatic Dance community hold this space with presence, care, and integrity—centering experience over performance, and connection over consumption.
“We are here to witness and support your journey, not profit from it. Together, we explore what becomes possible when we slow down enough to listen.”
How the Retreat Works
Arrive & Ground
Settle into shared cabins surrounded by nature in Dunnellon, FL. Begin to disconnect from daily noise and reconnect with your body and breath.

Ecstatic Dance journeys
Somatic movement practices
Yoga & breathwork

Connect & Co-Create
Participants are invited into optional shared offerings—music, workshops, storytelling, and spontaneous group experiences shaped by the collective energy of the weekend.
Rest & Integrate
Swim, float, rest in cabins, share meals, sit by the river, and allow your system to absorb everything that is unfolding.
What You’ll Experience
Imagine five days where:
You wake up surrounded by nature instead of notifications
You move your body daily without judgment or expectation
You float in Rainbow River feeling fully present in your body
You share meals, laughter, silence, and real connection
You soften into yourself in ways that feel unfamiliar but deeply natural
You leave with more space inside you than when you arrived
Who This Is For
People seeking a deeper nervous system reset
Movers, dancers, creatives, and sensitives
Those craving nature-based healing and community
Anyone who attended Sarasota and wants deeper integration
Anyone who wants to begin their journey in a more immersive environment
People ready to release, reset, and reconnect
What You Might Gain by Choosing to Join
This retreat is an invitation to step out of urgency and into presence.
You may leave feeling more grounded in your body, more connected to your emotions, and more open to life itself. Or simply more rested than you’ve been in a long time.
Every journey is different. There is no expectation of transformation—only space for whatever is ready to emerge.
And if this is not your moment, that is respected too. The right timing matters as much as the experience itself.
