Movement Intensive
dates to be announced
This intensive involves a deep exploration of the moving body. The work begins with an internal focus into our fluid body, breath patterns, and deep body listening. We then move our focus to the skeletal and muscular systems, discovering our core, out to our limbs and into space. Uncovering the developmental patterns present in our bodies system we deepen and embody our connection to our selves informing our shaping , spatial and expressive dance.

Using somatic movement work, dance therapy methods and Authentic Movement you will gain profound insight and healing into your body, and your life.

"The delicate balance between moving, resting, witnessing and drawing over the 5 days provided a way into the source of myself- my passion, my purpose and my joy. It helped me connect with my body, as well as make meaning of my life in a new and exciting way."

Conscious Movement Retreats and Workshops
in Bali and Western Australia
dates to be announced

The movement work explores the potential for natural and spontaneous alignment, mapping and integrating the body, with a focus on developmental movement patterns.

The transpersonal works with the spaces between things, where the invisible intangible and often subtle internal experiences are informing our reality. The mystical regains its place. You will find yourself in a nourishing environment waking up to your body’s intelligence and natural vitality in an unfolding, safe space.

Each day is structured and includes a practice of:

  • Body work: A mix of skills and explorations
  • Movement: Feeling, sensing and embodying ourselves through movement
  • Transpersonal Energetics: Traveling into aspects of ourselves and enlarging our known geography.

Your individual process is highly fostered and valued.

These retreats are facilitated by Jessie Green of Recovery West and Rebecca Byrne of Living Dance. For more information on Jessie's work, visit http://www.recoverywest.com/
