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 next 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 the amazing team that came together to create our first COURAGE retreat in August 2022, and our 4 retreats since: the wonderful & wise Sara-Jane Cleland & Sue Tsigaros offering Yoga, Sacred Altars, Emotional Support & Space-holding.

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 those and that which we have loved and lost.

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.

A time to cross the THRESHOLD into your one wild and precious life.
