ECSTATIC DANCE | OPEN FLOOR PRACTICE
YOGA | MEDITATION
The dream to bring our Bali retreats home to Australia is HAPPENING!
Dancing Dhevas is offering a long weekend immersion in Margaret River, Western Australia : 4 days of conscious dance, yoga, meditation and nature.
Set in a secluded retreat center in acres of Jarrah forest, this immersion is supported with daily dance, yoga, meditation as well as Kirtan, nourishing vegetarian meals, swimming and walks in nature. Accommodation is cozy and adorned in natural light that invites creativity, inspiration and restfulness with stunning views of the natural bushland. The facilities include a large fully equipped studio for yoga and dance, a swimming pool and tranquil gardens to relax and reflect. The centre is located 15 minutes south of Margaret River town.
Dance your dance and rest in its beat.
A CLOSER LOOK
Weaving movement with mindfulness and nature, this retreat is dedicated to the wisdom of the body, an opportunity to 'sync' into your dance, finding your rhythm and resting in its beat.
Each day will start with a mindfulness based meditation circle. Morning yoga will be a gentle flow to awaken the body and evening sessions will offer a slow paced yin class with restorative elements.
The Open Floor Movement Practice is a lively, sweaty, full-on dance inquiry, focusing on embodiment and resourcing ourselves in life.
Ecstatic Dance takes you on a deep dance journey, sometimes wild, some times tender and always amazing!
Kirtan is chanting and singing the heart out in community, we will gather and unite our voices to uplift the mind, open the heart and bring inner peace.
Finally, we will be basking in an amazing natural setting and will be taking some of the practices into nature, immersing in the elements.
