Reconnection
May 2-5, 2025 – Buffalo Gap, WV
Release what no longer serves and reawaken to your most alive and authentic self.
Reconnection is an invitation to return—to yourself, to the Earth, to your body, heart, and community. This is a chance to retreat from your daily routines and rediscover who you are. Over four transformative days, we will create a sacred space to move, feel, laugh and cry. Release what no longer serves and reawaken to your most alive and authentic self.
Why retreat? We don't always know how to heal the world, but when we take time to reconnect with our center, clarity emerges, and the next steps on our path become clear. A retreat is not an escape—it is a return to what truly matters. As we deepen into dance and nature, we create the conditions for bringing forth and offering our own unique gifts to the world.
