About this Event
♥ Note: Registration opens January 9th. Registration closes March 31st or when the retreat sells out, whichever comes first. (The retreat capacity is 80 participants, and it will likely sell out early.) ♥
Our next Immersion retreat is a celebration of queerness within the Ecstatic Dance Community.
This edition is an intentionally safe and supportive container for LGBTQIA+ folks. Allies are also welcome!
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 variety of other movement sessions. A weekend highlight will be our forum on exploring queer identity, behaviors, and allyship. 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 property (no personal retreats during the same weekend). All dances & other sessions will be held in the North Wing.
♥ Just to be clear, while some of the retreat sessions will offer opportunities for touch and affection, this is not a sex play retreat. Any sexual activity is only welcome in the privacy of your lodging.
♥ Sorry, no children under 15
