This autumn, step into a journey of dance, connection, rest and transformation. Join us for our annual Autumn Reset retreat, a heart-opening gathering devoted to Ecstatic Dance, embodiment, nervous system reset & rest practices, and down-to-earth spirituality.

Make the most of the beautiful Autumn time of year and enjoy all that comes with it -the fresh, crispy Autumn air, colourful leaves, lovely atmosphere and a lot more that we’ve included in this transformational Autumn Reset retreat! Join us for the whole 5 days or weekend only. 

We invite you to explore the tools & practices during this deep dive of 5 days and discover the positive benefits for yourself. Using music, movement, ritual, rest and connection to achieve a unified field of being. Attune to Nature and the living environment, release stress and come home to your Ecstatic-Self! Your body, mind and soul with thank you!

Our retreats are about awakening the dancer within; reconnecting body, mind, and spirit through conscious dance and embodiment.

Learn powerful exercises for grounding, releasing fear, stress, tension, and trauma from the body, and develop deeper presence and body awareness.

Our Autumn Reset retreat will be more of a personal growth retreat than a festival. It is simply an invitation to bring more fun, joy, depth, expansion, rest and balance into our lives through a variety of transformational workshops.

Autumn Reset retreat weaves together ecstatic dance, embodiment practices, sound, breath and spacious integration time.
Journey through a rich, diverse programme of embodiment, wellbeing and movement practices designed to support emotional release, nervous system regulation, deep connection and creative expression.
Explore the tools & practices during this deep dive retreat and discover the positive benefits for yourself.
