About this Event

This is an invitation to uncover the invisible, to DANCE with the intangible, to SING into the void, to LOVE the mystery, and to bring death to LIFE - to reclaim the POWER and BEAUTY of this most major of life transitions, as we learn to embrace death as a reminder of how to live and love fully. I invite you to join me for our 11th delicious deep dive into the medicine of dance, song, story & SILENCE - weaving together the practices of Dancing Freedom & Open Floor together in a full body, mind, heart & SOUL immersion in COMMUNITY. I am delighted to be joined again by my amazing assistant - the wonderful & wise Sara-Jane Cleland offering Yoga, Sacred Altars & Space-holding who has been co-creating these spaces with me for 3 years & 10 retreats since our first FULL CIRCLE retreat - COURAGE in 2022. Our third team member offering emotional support and space holding will be confirmed soon as we farewell our delightful and wise Sue Tsigaros who is stepping out to pursue other passions. We are so thrilled to be returning to the gorgeous Heartspace Retreat Centre in Yass. All organic food lovingly prepared by chef Angie Cowen - including local seasonal produce straight from the garden! Our retreat lands halfway between Autumn Equinox and Winter Solstice - the time when we begin to turn towards the dark - traditionally known as the Celtic festival of Samhain - a time when the veil between the worlds is said to be thinnest, similar to festivals such as the Day of the Dead in Mexico or Halloween, when we come together to honour our ancestors and all that we have loved and lost. This is an opportunity to connect with your unique ancestral lineage, to bring healing where it is needed and to reclaim the gifts, health, wisdom and power available to you, to be shared for the benefit of all life. A time to cross the THRESHOLD into your one wild and precious life. 4 DAY 3 NIGHT RETREAT MAY 9-12 2024 Includes all sessions, organic meals by Angie Cowen & shared luxe accomodation.
