8-Day Somatic Journey to Embody Freedom

Join us in February, as we embark on an epic adventure into our truest home and our most loyal friend.

United in the path of the heart, come along for an 8 days journey into the infinite mystery of our own bodies.

Delve into deep somatic exploration as you immerse yourself in the healing power of Sound, Movement, and Earth Knowledge.


This retreat is designed to teach and help you shed layers of resistance, releasing old beliefs and patterns, identify & address long held pains or conditions, so that you can ultimately rediscover the essence of your true self, and unlock the boundless creativity and authenticity dormant within.


Together we will weave a tapestry of connection, guiding you to forge deeper relationships with yourself, others, and the sacred rhythms and mystical laws of the natural world.

Channeling your creative truth

Sound and movement are two integral aspects of the geometry of Life. When we tune into our inner motions through the harmonics of sound and movement, we discover the power to co-create with the natural world.


This allows us to embody and release the electro-magnetic codes of the sensitive ecosystem held by earth consciousness; and we become more alive. Our archetypal Truth is then able to weave through life alongside us; to heal and co-create with the elemental forces who are at work on this plane of existence.


The ultimate goal of this exploration of the inner landscape is to break through ancestral traumas and systemic resistance to unleash your body’s authentic & creative expression and liberate the “voice” of your genius.

The process - Emotional
Alchemy

“Today we use sound and movement primarily for entertainment; but it hasn’t always been this way. Our ancestors gathered in community with the spirits of nature, using sound and movement for healing and journeying deep into the infinite spaces of our inner worlds”.

In this work we will remember and celebrate sound, movement, and creative expression as sacred birthrights. This aligns us with the flow of evolutionary living and unlocks doors to self-discovery, community building, and collective healing.


In the amplifying energy of the group field we will embody through a variety of practices;


These include breath, somatic movement, dance, trans-state, tribalism, rituals, voice-activation, yoga, meditation, intention setting, and authentic relating.


We’ll invite the ancient and foundational energy of the snake, to create and hold a container for our innate ancestral nature; allowing us to release conditioned patterns and remember the deepest forms of expression that rise from earth’s endless wisdom.


Through facilitated states of presence, we’ll work together to overcome subconscious resistance and fully surrender to what’s alive within. This process will involve navigating challenges with new levels of compassion and empathy, as resistance will often reveal the most valuable aspects of our authentic-expression.


In this safe and supportive container where authentic and raw expression are welcomed, you have the potential to experience profound revelations, and to unfold into new versions of You - the embodiment of freedom !

This is for you if :


I believe that the keys to life are already rooted in the inherent wisdom of our bodies, readily available for us to tap into. Take a deep breath, relax your muscles, and ask your heart :


  • Do you feel disconnected from your true self and struggle with building that connection?
  • Do you desire to fully awaken your potential yet are uncertain how to do so?
  • Do you wish to break free from harmful patterns, behaviours and reclaim your power?
  • Do you aspire to be your most authentic self and unleash your creativity but struggle to do so?
  • Do you want to liberate your voice and explore it as a tool for healing and connection, while learning to listen ?
  • Do you want to deepen your embodiment practices and tune in to your body on a physical, emotional, energetic and mental level ?
  • Do you want to expand your path of self- discovery as you align your unique voice with what you want to offer in this world ?


If any of these resonate, then it might be the wisdom of your body guiding you forward. If so I am honored to be a guide on the path toward your intelligence within.

Together, we will develop the skills to tune into and utilize your guidance; to unlock your inner Truth, and distill the medicine that is You. This is an embodied journey to freedom that will allow you to live into the New World that we are all dreaming, a world in which your medicine is needed.

The importance of community
What I find very important for our New World is to learn and grow in community, to offer ourselves - our medicine - to each other and to the Earth, in celebration and collective learning.

Whatever your story, you are welcome here in all of your colors. Whatever your mental state, whatever you're feeling, whether your heart is light or heavy, clear or troubled - we are here to embrace it all (and that doesn't mean we always have to like it).

This retreat is an opportunity to witness and be witnessed. To practice authentic relating, non-violent heart communication, holding space for yourself and for others without judgment, honouring our shared humanity, and learning to embrace one another in a loving space of care and compassion!

This is a chance not just for individual growth, but also for us as a community to nurture Embodied Freedom together. Through this, we can engage with our own communities from a free, embodied and authentic space.
