Star Tannery, VA (90 minutes from Washington, DC)

In these times of rapid change, we’re being called to return to the center, to the heart, to The Dance!


In the spirit of Love & Celebration, join us for a weekend of ecstatic movement and deep restoration. We’ll explore Yoga, Hooping and Dance; enjoy vegan cuisine and luxuriate in the hot tubs and natural landscape of our host retreat center in Star Tannery, VA (just 90 minutes from DC).

Hatha Yoga - the exploration of physical postures (asana) to ultimately bring stillness to the body, clarity to the mind and revelation of the True Self.

Hoop Dance aka Hooping - the return of hula hooping as a movement meditation. uses colorful, adult size hoops to strengthen the body, amplify creativity and encourage community.

Ecstatic Dance - the freeform, feminine and yin expression to her counterpart, Hatha Yoga. she gives us entrance to the expansive expression of the Cosmic Force.

Come alone or bring your favorite Soul Sisters!
