ECSTATIC DANCE & ENERGY AWAKENING RETREAT
WITH ANDREW BARNES
28.10 – 1.11. 2026
Do you feel the need to slow down, move, and reconnect with your body?
This 4-day retreat is a space where you can release tension, awaken your energy, and return to your natural flow through dance, breath and conscious movement.
You don’t need any experience.
There is no choreography and no pressure to perform.
Just a safe space to move, feel and reconnect with yourself.
What this retreat offers
Through a combination of ecstatic dance, breathwork and embodied practices, you will have the opportunity to:
- release physical and emotional tension
- reconnect with your body and senses
- increase your energy and vitality
- deepen your intuition and self-awareness
- experience more ease, freedom and authenticity
Why dance and breath?
When you move beyond thinking and drop into your body, something shifts.
Your body begins to release what it has been holding.
Your energy starts to flow more naturally.
You become more present, more alive, and more connected.
This is where real change happens — not through effort, but through experience.
Who is this for?
- anyone who wants to feel more and think less
- people seeking deeper connection with themselves
- those who feel stuck, low on energy or disconnected
- practitioners in bodywork, therapy or well-being
What is Ecstatic Dance?
Ecstatic dance is a form of movement meditation where you are guided by music, breath and your body — not by choreography.
There is no right or wrong way to move.
You simply follow what feels natural and authentic in the moment.
Through this, the body begins to release tension, the mind slows down, and your energy starts to flow more freely.
Why intuitive movement?
When you stop trying to control how you move and start listening to your body, something shifts.
Movement becomes more natural.
Your awareness deepens.
You begin to feel more — and think less.
This is where intuition becomes alive — not as an idea, but as a direct experience in the body.
What you may discover
Ecstatic dance can open the door to:
- greater freedom in movement and self-expression
- deeper connection with your body and senses
- increased vitality and presence
- more ease in your emotions and relationships
Each experience is unique — but often surprising in how quickly the body knows the way.
During the retreat, you will explore:
-
- ecstatic intuitive dance
- movement with the rhythm of the heartbeat
- blindfolded dance (to deepen inner perception and trust)
- sensual movement and body awareness
- cacao ceremony with breath and movement meditation
- breathwork practices to release emotional and physical tension
- nervous system work to expand your capacity for pleasure and experience
- natural states of flow, presence and embodied awareness
- cultivating intuition and inner life energy
Join us
Shake off what has been holding you back.
Move beyond limitations and reconnect with your body, your energy and your natural expression.
You don’t need to know how to dance.
You just need to be willing to show up.
Important Information & Safe Space

We work with trauma-informed principles, which means:

There is no pressure to perform or engage beyond what feels right for you.
Responsibility

While we work with body, breath and experience, it does not replace professional medical or psychological care.
If you are currently dealing with significant physical or psychological challenges, we recommend consulting a qualified professional before attending.
Nudity & personal boundaries
Some practices may include an optional level of body openness.
- everything is fully voluntary
- your boundaries are always respected
- you are welcome to remain fully clothed at all times
Consent, safety and respect are at the core of this space.
