Summer 2024

Embark on a magical midsummer retreat where we will breathe, move and create for joy, healing, and connection.

This weekend retreat is an invitation to come together to awaken our bodies, ignite our creativity and move/dance/rest our way to wholeness. Through an alchemical synergy of meditation, intuitive dance, satya movement practice and art we will recalibrate our nervous systems, integrate and feel our feelings and open ourselves to our sankalpa- the wisdom of our heart’s deepest desires. At the end of our time, we'll expand into the bigger vision of our divinity and humanity. 

Sadhana (practices) we will cultivate this weekend will help you:

  • Trust your body’s innate wisdom to guide you.

  • Revive a sluggish nervous system.

  • Clear energetic blockages, a more fluid (less rigid) way to live.

  • Step into your unique soul expression with passion, gusto and confidence.

Let’s allow yourselves  to be nourished by The August House, the beautiful food and local Nova Scotia surroundings, the time we share together and the new kindred friends you’ll make! Experience feeling alive but from the inside  so you may return home inspired  and lit up to continue walking/dancing/sprinting to your unique dharma!!!
