Spring Awakening

A Somatic Movement & 5 Rhythms dance retreat for renewal and rejuvenation

SPRING AWAKENING ~ A 5RHYTHMS & SOMATIC MOVEMENT RETREAT IN HEBDEN BRIDGE
MARCH 28th- 31st, 2024
A Residential Workshop w/ Francis & Blanche

“Spring offers us the opportunity to tap into an invisible but all powerful life force that brings nature into expression. When we say yes to this energy through the medium of movement, we get to create new pathways through our psyche which allow us to grow in accordance with our highest wishes. We will spend four days together journeying with this theme in the stunning setting of the Hebden Bridge Sanctuary. Our underfloor heated movement studio opens out onto a decking that overlooks a forest valley & river. We will bathe in our giant cedar wood hot tub, shed skins in the sauna, offer prayers to the fire for our personal and collective awakening, walk in the forest, and enjoy delicious wholesome meals together.”
