DANCE ALCHEMY

💗 Retreat to Heal 💗

🌀 Dance to Empower 🌀

🎶 Music to Transform 🎶

🌀 Allow the alchemy of the fusion of music, drums, dancing and nature to reconnect you with your soul’s purpose.

🎶 Reunite your inspiration, emotion, and your spirit through movement. Allow the melody of music created just for you to realign your DNA. The didgeridoo, drums, and flutes create just the right frequencies for your deep emotions to release with every movement. This soul readjustment creates balance, peace, and a profound healing experience like no other!

💗 The magic is in the moment - where nature grounds you, allowing you the freedom to express what has been long repressed. Allow the wisdom of your muscles and bones to lead, let your mind rest! Every session the intuitively created music supports your expression, creating pathways for energetic release. Drum beats pulse your heartbeat, reaching through time and space to align all levels of your being.

🌬️Surrender your beautiful, messy self, release your human experience to the poignant notes of the instruments. Let go of anything holding you back, so you can live the joy of being your unique self. Dance - your way, in your strong body, clear your mind for inspiration, soften and strengthen your spirit. All of you comes together. All of you is aligned. All of you is ready to be a more powerful, confident, relaxed, and loving version of yourself!

Fortifying yourself is a necessity! Refill your well.

We know life gets busy, "adulting" takes over, and demands of work and family often leave no space for you, your creativity. You know that dance feeds your soul, and you know you need more! If only there was space for that...

Well we have heard you, and feel the same! So we created the perfect place for you to get away, take time to invest in yourself, your inspiration, your dance, body, emotional & mental health... and we know you'll come away with your cup filled, ready to be more present with those you love, efficient at work, and successful in all you do.

Realign Your True ways of being

Rejuvenate your soul - we balance our time between playful expression, introspection, movement, music, excursions into nature, and free time by the pool or beach! Let your soul alchemize, your body express... and fully integrated emotional healing follows. All set to a created music, drums, and the beauty of the magic of Costa Rican beach and rainforest.

I feel like myself, a little richer...

Thankful that a space like this exists. The miraculous healing energy passing through my body was intense and I feel like myself, a little richer for the experience.

Dancer - Florida

I feel so refreshed and transformed...

I generally have a positive outlook. However, I have been experiencing anxiety over the unknown future - with world events and personal challenging situations. After this retreat, I feel so refreshed and transformed! I have a new outlook to see the beauty all around me at all times! I feel light as I have let go of stress that I had been carrying. I’m so full of gratitude!

I was completely blown away...

Definitely came in feeling overwhelmed. I thought the dance portion of the workshop would be a fun distraction, a stress relief from the above. I was completely blown away by how the workshop was able to help me work thru all of that. The journaling & homework went hand in hand with my "12 week year" planning, helped me overcome the overwhelm, get back in the game & remember my "why" & my big goals.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this. I definitely feel the universe knew I needed that workshop in my life & pushed me to go, even when I felt I shouldn't due to time constraints & fears over budget in light of big changes in my professional life coming. The universe keeps reminding me that I need the celebration, the dance.

I have renewed energy and more motivation...

I feel like the day-to-day was really weighing me down. I felt like I hadn’t had a break in a long time. It was amazing to eat healthy food. Sleep mostly eight hours a night and exercise each day as well as build community. I feel like I have renewed energy and more motivation.

Dancer, Washington DC

Loved the dance embodiment...

Arrived with excitement and positive anticipation. I feel I'm still in process with "the work". I gave myself over to the journaling with prompts. Still processing some "stuff." Loved the dance embodiment of the transformation process.

- Leadership Coach, Florida

Incredibly relaxing & laid back...

I feel far less stressed than before. The entire area (Danyasa and Dominical) was incredibly relaxing and laid back. While I brought a laptop to do some work on the trip I literally put it on the shelf above the bed on the first day and picked it back up when packing at the end of the week. I can’t remember the last time I went that long without being on it.

Step away from every day life - and immerse yourself in music, dance & nature

Over the course of the retreat, we'll give you tools to explore and align yourself with a path to your true self. By allowing ourselves to acknowledge where we've been, we can dance to clear the past. Then we can set our sights on where we want to be... and dance our way there! We'll have daily themes and journal promps to help you integrate, explore, and connect to the divine inner being you truly are!

In this intimate setting, not only will we have a beautiful dance space, but lounges and places to relax, socialize, and connect with each other, or take space for ourself.

You can also head out to explore the cute surf down of Dominical; shops and cafe just across the parking lot, visit the beach down the street with a beach bazaar, bird watch, or lounge by the pool.

For those who wish to start their day with stretching and breath work, we are invited to participate in their yoga classes, led by experienced yoga practitioners who can easily adjust for all levels. Open studio time is also available if you wish to stretch, dance, or meditate on your own.

It's a joy to connect together over our delicious meals, three every day, vegetarian/vegan options available. Danyasa accommodates all allergies and eating preferences. Made fresh daily by our private chef! Filtered water, coffee, tea, all day every day.

One night we'll catch dinner out on the town!

Each session together is set to a unique soundscape crafted uniquely by our musical team. Bring anything special you'd like to wear, instruments to play, props to play with. Whatever facilitates your full expression! You'll gain a deeper understanding of how to connect with your body, emotions, and your dance. From stillness to movement, moving from the inside out to truly embody and integrate our true selves. We don't just move to repeat, memorize, or perfect... we move, with meaning.

Our musicians will transform how you hear and embody music - you'll gain a musical depth to enrich both your dance, and your life!

The unique fusion of co-creation of music and dance simultaneously create a magical experience like no other. THIS is where the creative pulse of the universe expresses itself fully in us! THIS is the alchemy of the present moment, where it exists only in ONE time and place and that is... now.

Our week will culminate in a special ceremony of music and dance where we bring together our journey, transmute from where we've been - to where we want to be. Whole, complete, unique, and powerfully ourselves!

All this... set in the beautiful, unique, transformative land of Costa Rica.

Explore waterfalls, walk the beach, and hike in the rainforest.

Exotic animals abound, you'll hear and see them - right at the Retreat Center.
