Ecstatic Dance Retreat

About

Aya is a genuine place in nature, a quiet valley where the spirit can exhale. You are invited to slow down, feel your body, and reconnect with what is true, supported by a small team with a big heart.

This week is focused on ecstatic dance, meaning this week will be oriented even more around dance, compared to our other weeks. 

Who this is for:
  • You crave nature, simplicity, and a real reset
  • You want movement, embodiment, and honest connection
  • You value consent, boundaries, and emotional safety
  • You are open minded and respectful of others

What this is not:
  • A high pressure retreat
  • Primarily focused on sensual intimacy
  • A place where consent is unclear

What happens during the retreat:
Every week at Aya is different. Based on the week and the needs of the group, the program evolves.

Daily movement and dance
Ecstatic dance, movement sessions, somatic body based practices to open energy, release tension, and reclaim your natural expression.

Meditation and breath
Grounding meditations, breathwork, and gentle guidance to soften the mind and return to center.

Tantra inspired workshops
Practical, heart led sessions on boundaries, communication, safety, and conscious connection, held in a consent based way.

Nature, play and rest
River time, hammocks, hikes, creative space, and room to be alone or connect, held in a wild, nourishing landscape.

Vibrant Nutritious Food
Food is an experience in itself during the retreat, designed to support and elevate the experience of the retreat. Our meals are fresh and vegetarian, light yet nourishing, easy to digest, seasonal and local, with a sattvic and healing touch.

Hiking & Crystal Mine
Aya’s surroundings are beautiful for having a hike. There is a nearby crystal mine as well, that can be visited and explored.

Integration and support
Pre and post retreat support is included, so you feel supported beyond the week
