Join Mia Pem founder of Austin’s “Ecstatic Soul Sessions” and Shannon Gill-Jones founder of Boulder’s “Rhythm Sanctuary” for a 3 part ecstatic dance immersion into the deeper dimensions of your Soul.
The timings of each Saturday gathering will reflect a transition of light to dark; we will move from morning/afternoon October 7th 10am – 4pm (growing light) to midday November 4th 1 – 7pm (the most light) then late afternoon/evening December 2nd 4 – 10pm (total darkness).
As we experience the natural shift towards the longer nights we will utilize rhythm, ritual, and the body as a portal to our deep understanding of self and other. We will explore our relationship to light and dark…our power, our life force, and our capacity for transcendence.
Jupiter, the planet of expansion enters its year long sojourn into the powerful sign of Scorpio on Oct 10th. Scorpio, known as “The Dark Mother” archetype, rules over our Soul dimensions and the greatest of mysteries…life, death, sexuality, and the alchemical process of the transmutation of light and dark.
We have the opportunity during this passage to ascend into extraordinary levels of empowerment through consciously aligning with this once in 12 year cycle.
Our retreat will be held on 7 lush acres of Lotus Bend Sanctuary in SE Austin. We will enjoy the perfect balance of movement, stillness, sound, silence and ceremony, as well as personal astrological guidance based on your birth chart.
No experience necessary!
