DESCRIPTION

Dancing at the top of a mountain with a 360° view allows us to broaden our lens, to see a little further, to envision what’s out there that’s calling to us. As we step into the dreamtime we will feel into those desires. Through the alchemical power of our dance we will embody & enchant those desires so they become real.

This is the wayfinding map of emergence which is essentially: see, feel, do, become. 

In this residential workshop, when we are outside of our daily patterns and in the dreamtime, we can access what our soul path wants us to know by listening to the guidance from our bodies and the nature-based intelligence around us. Together we’ll discover what enchantment looks, feels and moves like as the circle we create together weaves its own kind of magic. 

The crucial element of learning this map is the container for seeing & feeling which we often don’t allow ourselves to experience. We may be wary of enchantment or don’t know how to access the magic that happens when we engage our bodies in transformative ways. It may feel scary to feel or even to move because we don’t know what will happen next. 

This retreat is for you if: 

You find yourself too busy with your daily life to tune in to your dreams and desires

You’re curious about the “dreamtime” and would like to experience it 

You’re drawn to dance and movement but sometimes feel inhibited about your expression or ability to move

You’ve been dancing for a while and want to tap into that feeling of transcendence that happens periodically on a more consistent basis

You haven’t given yourself time or space to explore movement in a way that feels safe, creative and maybe even magic-making

We will be guided by the wisdom of the 5Rhythms map, nature inquiry, visioning, and by Julie Stuart, a 5Rhythms teacher and skilled practitioner of the art of emergence.

We’ll be dancing at the top of a mountain in the southern Appalachians, the world’s oldest mountains, on ancestral Cherokee land and weaving our explorations with the land and the sentient beings who live there.

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 don’t need to feel strong or energetic to join us. You can do this whole practice from a chair or the floor. 

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. Venmo: julie-stuart-12 and paypal: jnbstuart@gmail.com

I can't wait to welcome you there. Please send me any questions or concerns you may have. 

with so much love, 

Julie
