About this Event
♥ Note: This community retreat capacity is ~110 participants, and it is currently sold out! Go to the Registration tab on our website to get on the waitlist for cancellations. ♥
Deepen your connection with self, community, and the great mystery by immersing yourself in ecstatic practices and the soothing hot springs of Breitenbush! Choose your own adventure among daily Ecstatic Dances and a wide variety of other sessions, such as Contact Improv, Partner Massage, Restorative Yoga, Sensation Play, "Dance into Being", and Sound Healing Meditation. We’ll also have forums on navigating allyship in the context of identity: race, sexual orientation, gender, and relationship style. Whether you come alone or with companions, the ecstatic community is warm and welcoming—and upholds a culture of consent.
♥ This retreat will occupy the whole Breitenbush campus (no personal retreats during the same weekend). Our plan is to hold sessions in the North Wing and the front lawn, with the River Yurt as a dedicated snuggle zone.
♥ Just to be clear, while some of the retreat sessions will offer opportunities for touch, affection, and/or sensuality, this is not a sex play retreat. Any sexual activity or genital contact is only welcome in the privacy of your lodging.
♥ Sorry, no children under 18 (except a swaddled infant--contact us for details).
