Spring 5Rhythms Dance Movement Retreat- HORIZON
March 18, 2027 - March 21, 2027


HORIZON: Where Dreams Come Alive
We all have a secret deep inside, a dream of something we hope for ourselves and maybe the world. This precious tender wish that wants to find wings and fly.
But how to make it happen?
These dreams often feel too big, too consequential, and more than one person can handle. Yet they beckon us. Unrelentingly. Audaciously. Inconveniently.
We must, at some point, listen. Which is why we do this work of COLLECTIVE DREAMING together.
“DREAMS are a technology, a guidance system, an idea factory, a reality.” ~~Jen Lemen
We practice the art of making possible what is uniquely yours to create and what the world needs from you. We breathe life into our dreams at the top of the mountain with a 360 degree view of the horizon.
The expansive space of emergence where anything is possible is our dance floor. Our dreams unfurl their pulse and presence as the 5Rhythms map and a thumpin’ beat guide us.
“We can REDREAM this world and make the DREAM come real. Human beings are gods hidden from themselves. The only hope is in daring to REDREAM one’s place in the world–a beautiful act of IMAGINATION, and a sustained act of self-becoming.”~~Ben Okri
It’s exquisite, stunning, courageous work held by the ancient land of the Cherokee, the energy of early spring, animal companions, the wind, stars, spectacular sunrises and sets, and the sacred container we create.
It’s also a helluva fun time filled with laughter, instant and longtime friendships, nourishment, and tons of love.
There’s no better place if you’re hearing the call of a dream deep inside that no longer will wait. Bring it to the mountain and let’s give it wings.
“One of the biggest things for the DREAMER to remember is that their body is a seer, a dowsing rod, an oracle.” ~~Daje Aloh
This workshop is for people who are new to 5Rhythms or who have danced the practice for decades. We welcome people of all cultures, colours, creeds, all genders and sexualities, all sizes, abilities and life stages. You can do this whole practice from a chair or the floor.
You will be guided by Julie Stuart, an accredited 5Rhythms teacher and skilled practitioner of the art of emergence.

“When we give ourselves over completely to the dance, it becomes a prayer.” ~~Gabrielle Roth, creator of the 5Rhythms
5Rhythms is a guided dance practice that powerfully catalyzes our body’s wild intelligence in a freely expressed movement meditation.
Arrival begins at 3 pm on Thursday, dinner is at 6 pm and we begin the workshop at 7:15 pm. We finish with lunch on Sunday at noon.

I’m committed to making this transformational practice accessible. I want to make sure we are not leaving anyone behind because they are not well-resourced. I appreciate the way we move as a community. It means everything to me to be able to extend this to folks who wouldn’t be able to attend otherwise. I’m deeply grateful for your help.
*If you’re interested in contributing to a scholarship fund so that we can offer this workshop to folks who can’t self-fund, you can send money to Julie which will be passed along directly. *
