5 Days of Movement, Connection & Personal Growth
All 5 Days: $550
Skip the expensive travel retreat and experience something even more sustainable — a community-based retreat right here in Sarasota.
This immersive 5-day experience takes place onsite at a local dance studio, creating a grounded and accessible alternative to destination retreats. Instead of escaping your life, you’ll learn how to elevate the life you already live.
Designed for locals, seasonal residents, and anyone craving authentic connection, this retreat blends ecstatic dance, contact improv, yoga, movement workshops, meditation, nature experiences, music, and community meals into a transformational week that supports your body, mind, and spirit.

The Power of 5 Days Together
There is something profound that happens when a group commits to showing up daily.
Walls soften. Confidence rises. Energy shifts. Friendships form. Practices deepen.
And when emotions surface or something unexpected rises within you, you don’t have to navigate it alone. You’re held in a supportive community space with somatic movement practices designed to help you process, regulate, and move through what is ready to be felt.
You leave not only feeling renewed—but connected to a tribe that lives near you.
Reserve Your Spot
Spaces are limited to keep the experience intimate and connected.

A Sneak Peek Into the Dance Journeys
Each dance experience is intentionally crafted to help you move beyond the surface and into a deeper relationship with your body, emotions, and inner freedom. No dance experience is required—just a willingness to show up as you are.
Featured Dance Journeys May Include:
Ecstatic Dance Journey
A free-form movement experience where music becomes medicine. Release stress, awaken joy, and let your body guide the way.
Somatic Movement Flow
Slow down and listen inward. These guided sessions help you reconnect to sensation, process emotions, and feel more at home in yourself.
Contact Improvisation Exploration
Discover trust, play, and authentic connection through partner-based movement, weight-sharing, and spontaneous expression.
Blindfold / Sensory Expansion Dance
Move beyond sight and into intuition. Heighten your awareness, deepen presence, and awaken new layers of feeling.
Primal Rhythm Experience
Tap into instinct, power, and raw life-force energy through grounding beats and liberating movement.
Heart Opening Connection Dance
A gentle relational movement practice designed to invite vulnerability, laughter, warmth, and human connection.
Sunset Integration Dance
A softer evening journey to unwind, reflect, and let the day settle into gratitude through movement.
Why It Matters
Every dance is an opportunity to meet a different part of yourself. Some sessions may energize you, some may soften you, and some may unlock emotions you didn’t know were waiting to move.
You’re not just attending dances—you’re stepping into experiences that can shift how you feel, connect, and live.
