RECONNECT TO JOY: A JOURNEYDANCE® EXPERIENCE - WORKSHOP

What if joy isn’t something we need to find, but something we can remember?Reconnect to Joy is an experiential JourneyDance® workshop inviting you out of your head and back into your body through music, free-form movement, reflection, and connection. Together, we’ll explore what may be getting between us and our joy, giving the body space to move, express, and release what it’s ready to let go of. From there, we’ll shift toward what lights us up — awakening playfulness, pleasure, freedom, and the things that help us feel most alive. Our movement journey will flow into guided rest and integration, followed by a Joy Mapping reflection to capture what your body revealed and what you want to make more room for in your life. We’ll close with a partner witnessing practice — an opportunity to be heard, to listen, and to connect without fixing, advising, or needing to have the right words. No dance experience is needed and there are no steps to learn or choreography to follow. Everything is an invitation. Come as you are. Move what’s ready to move. Remember what brings you alive. And reconnect to the joy that is already within you.

A YOGA NIDRA FOR REST & RECEIVING - CLASS

You’ve arrived. Now, give yourself permission to truly arrive. This gentle Yoga Nidra practice offers a spacious transition from the movement and demands of everyday life into the rhythm of retreat. Through guided awareness and deep rest, you’ll be invited to settle into your body, soften your grip on what you’ve been carrying, and begin shifting from doing into simply being. There is nothing you need to accomplish and nowhere else you need to be. This hour is an invitation to land, receive, and create space for the weekend ahead. No experience is needed. Simply get comfortable and allow yourself to be guided into rest.

CARRY IT WITH YOU: A YOGA NIDRA FOR INTEGRATION - CLASS

Before returning to the rhythms of everyday life, take this quiet morning hour to rest, integrate, and listen. Through the deeply restorative practice of Yoga Nidra, you’ll be invited to notice what has shifted, what has awakened, and what you want to carry with you beyond the retreat. This isn’t about holding onto a particular feeling or becoming a different version of yourself. It’s an opportunity to honor what you’ve experienced, reconnect with what matters, and remember that what you discovered here belongs to you. Rest deeply. Receive what remains. And begin your return with intention.

LUNAR WISDOM: YOUR PERSONAL MOON MAP - PRIVATE SESSION

The Moon moves through the same cycle for all of us — but how we experience and work with that cycle can be deeply personal. Your Rising Sign offers a way to understand which areas of your life each New and Full Moon invites you to explore. Instead of simply knowing that a New Moon is a time for intention or a Full Moon is a time for reflection and release, your Personal Moon Map gives you a framework for knowing where in your life to look. Before the retreat, Danielle will use your birth information to prepare your personalized Moon Map for the year ahead. Then, during your private 50-minute session, you’ll explore it together and learn a simple way to work with the Dark, New, and Full Moons throughout the year. You might discover a New Moon inviting you to explore your relationship with joy and creativity, a Full Moon illuminating something within your relationships, or another lunar cycle bringing your attention to purpose, home, self-worth, well-being, or the way you’re showing up in your life. Rather than telling you what will happen, your Moon Map gives you a rhythm for pausing and paying attention — a way to regularly check in with yourself, set intentions, notice what is being illuminated, release what you’re ready to stop carrying, and make space for rest and reflection.

You’ll leave with your personalized 12-month lunar calendar, your Rising Sign and house guide, key lunar moments highlighted especially for you, and simple practices and reflection prompts for working with each phase. More importantly, you’ll leave knowing how to use it — giving you a practice you can return to long after the retreat is over. Your Lunar Wisdom Experience Includes: 50-minute private Lunar Wisdom session, Personalized 12-month Dark, New & Full Moon calendar, Your Rising Sign + personal 12-house guide, Areas of life activated by each New & Full Moon, Key lunar moments highlighted for your year, Dark, New & Full Moon practices and reflection prompts, Your Printed Personal Moon Map to take home.

Birth date, exact birth time, and birth location are required in advance so your Personal Moon Map can be prepared for you. Deadline to book is September 14.

COME BACK TO YOUR BODY: A PRIVATE SOMATIC SESSION - PRIVATE SESSION

So much of life asks us to live from the neck up, thinking, planning, analyzing, pushing through, while the body is communicating with us all along. This session offers an opportunity to slow down, turn inward, and begin listening to the body with greater curiosity and awareness.

Danielle will guide you through body awareness, grounding, breath and movement in an exploration of the sensations, signals, patterns, and needs arising in your body. Through gentle practices, each session is shaped by what the individual is experiencing and what feels supportive to explore that day. Rather than trying to fix, force, or change what is present, you’re invited to notice what happens when you give your body space to respond. You’ll leave with greater connection with your own body and 2–3 simple somatic practices selected from what supported you during your session.

No previous somatic experience is needed. Everything is an invitation, and you are always encouraged to honor what your body is asking for.

HARVEST FULL MOON CEREMONY: RELEASE, REFLECT & GIVE THANKS - EVENING ACTIVITY

Gather around the fire beneath the energy of the Harvest Full Moon for an intimate evening of release, reflection, and connection. The Full Moon illuminates, bringing into the light what we may not have been able — or willing — to see before. It invites us to acknowledge what has reached completion and consider what we’re ready to stop carrying. The Harvest Moon adds another invitation: to pause long enough to recognize what has grown, what has sustained us, and what we want to honor before moving forward. Through guided reflection, you’ll be invited to explore what you’re ready to release and where forgiveness — for yourself, another, or a situation — may be possible. We’ll offer what we’re ready to let go of to the fire in a symbolic burning ritual, creating space for what we want to welcome in its place. Together, we’ll refill that space through shared mantra and gather in a sister circle around the fire to honor our own harvest — giving voice to what we’re grateful for, proud of, celebrating, and choosing to carry forward. Come as you are. Release what you’re ready to release. Honor what is here. And make space for what is still becoming.
