“I left feeling liberated, as if I'd awakened a dormant part of myself.

It means so much to have had the opportunity to witness layers being shed, both within myself and others… The experience was such a beautiful paradox, where vulnerability met unleashed power. Being in a space of like-minded women felt like fuel for a fire that had been eager to share its warmth. I loved learning how to alchemize darkness into magic, and how to dance through the entire spectrum of emotions, rain or shine. This retreat gave me a deep sense of stillness and taught me to nourish my inner rhythm. Since attending, I've found myself dancing a lot more, both mentally and physically. I gained tools and knowledge that I continue to practice every day. I would encourage anyone considering it to surrender to the experience. It could open doors you didn’t even know were closed.”

“Wild horses can't keep me away from these retreats!

I've attended nearly every event so far and each gathering is a transformative experience. Kim and Riyah create a space that feels deeply healing, supportive, and expansive. Whether through meditation, somatic movement, or expressive dance, I leave feeling more connected to myself and the world around me. Each retreat has its own unique theme, and every time, I uncover something new within. This has become an essential part of my self-care, and I can’t recommend it enough!”
-KARINKA
“This retreat was extremely powerful and deeply nourishing.

Kim and Riyah are gifted facilitators who created an exceptionally peaceful and welcoming space. I relaxed, did deep inner work, and had fun in a very joyful few hours! I look forward to returning”

As the equinox balances day and night, join us for a transformative daylong retreat designed to honor the shadow and light within each of us. This experience invites women to explore the depths of their being through embodied somatic movement, expressive dance, and mindfulness meditation. Together, we will create a sacred container to play with, embrace, and bring pleasure to the shadow aspects of ourselves—those hidden, often unacknowledged parts that hold profound wisdom and creativity.

What to Expect:

Embodied Somatic Movement: Guided practices to connect with your body’s innate intelligence, releasing tension and opening to the sensations of the present moment.
Expressive Dance: A joyful, liberating exploration of movement to embody your darkness and light, allowing your body to tell its story without words.
Mindfulness Meditation: Gentle, grounding practices to cultivate awareness and compassion, helping you meet your shadow sides with curiosity and openness.
Sisterhood Circle: Share and witness in intimate breakout discussions with a supportive community of women, fostering connection and collective healing.

Embracing Shadows is an invitation to celebrate the full spectrum of who you are—light and dark, seen and unseen. Through movement, meditation, and play, you’ll leave feeling more integrated, empowered, and deeply connected to your authentic self.

No prior experience in dance or meditation is required—just an open heart and a willingness to explore. Come as you are, and leave with a deeper sense of wholeness and joy. Register today to claim your spot in this sacred journey!
