WELCOME TO
The Movement Gathering
Imagine yourself waking up in Greece...
...your day begins outside with the song of birds, cicadas and beautiful music gently supporting your yoga class, which is in the middle of a beautiful olive grove, overlooking the Ionian Sea.
Then sharing a healthy breakfast with a tribe of like-minded people coming from all walks of life, before moving into the gorgeous dance hall for a movement workshop, led by an amazing team of experienced and skilled facilitators, guiding you to activate your body and energy.
You will have a chance to explore many different forms of embodiment, energy work and creative play, to help you reconnect with your body and awaken the Dancer within.
Starting with the Root, each day is dedicated to a Chakra, and even our famously delicious and abundant Lunches are delicately planned to help activate and enhance that day's Chakra.
Afternoons are free so you can integrate as you wish - take a dip in the refreshing sea, bask in the sun, receive a massage, explore the beautiful coast by scooter, mingle with new friends, or simply rest in the Greek way - with a silent Siesta. Dinners are also recommended by one of the many seaside restaurants, another chance to share some local cuisine with new friends.
After dinner we continue our journey at the Buddha Hall with some joyful and deeply moving ceremony's to celebrate our sacred body, this amazing life, and our wonderful community.
Congratulations on a day well lived!

We hold this belief: An Odyssey that doesn't go deep, is not worth taking. We want you to experience profound, life altering depth, so you can shine a brighter, more authentic light into your world.
And it all starts with the BREATH.
If we want our very DNA to wake up and dance, then we need to give it Oxygen. How deep your journey goes, is in direct proportion to how deep and well you breathe. This retreat is designed to help you to deepen your inner well, and strengthen your foundation so you and your DNA can dance all day.
To guide you, we have assembled an amazing team of 8 versatile experts who have already done the work, danced in the abyss, and now these generous and kind-hearted beings join us to share what they have learned.
Are you ready???

OUR VENUE
The Corfu Buddha Hall
"An Exquisite Retreat Requires A Very Special Location"
Our home for the week is the Corfu Buddha Hall, one of Europe's premier retreat centers. Spacious and sitting alone on a mountain top blanketed with olive and cypress trees, the Buddha Hall offers not only incredible views of peaks and blue seas, but a rare combination of excellent group spaces too.
One of the only retreat centers in Europe that boasts a large air-conditioned indoor space, as well as a sizeable outdoor dance/music venue. You can be sure that we will make a lot of magic in both of them. This place is indeed exquisite!
Side Note - while the Buddha Hall easily fits 100+ people, we are limiting our group size to 50 people, so that we can enjoy lots of space to fly around the dance floor!
OUR LOCATION
Corfu - Land of Myth & Music
"The perfect getaway for a purposeful holiday"
All of this happens in the mythical north-west of Corfu at Arillas Beach, one of the worlds fastest growing wellness destinations. And it will not take long for you to see why - the place is magnetic and the energy there is simply divine.
In fact, local legends say that Odysseus was shipwrecked and washed ashore somewhere in the north-west of Corfu, where he was helped by a princess and warmly welcomed by the king before being aided back home. Coincidentally, St Michael's ley line (known as the Apollo line in Greece) also runs right through the north-west of Corfu.
Clean, beautiful beaches, a promenade full of great cafes and restaurants, and a relaxed, friendly vibe that seduces visitors to come back again and again. Many come for a week but never leave!

See you in Corfu next May
for a special celebration of life!
While deep healing and transformation is always a natural and delightful benefit of our journeys, it is not our intent. We are not here to fix, heal or change anyone. Our intention is create the right conditions for authenticity and inspiration to thrive, and at that, we have gotten pretty darn good.
In the end, what we seek is to enjoy simple being, a sense of purpose and meaning, sparks of creativity and the joys of friendship and community. If we are lucky, we will also find some balance between movement and stillness, sound and silence, deep relaxation and playful engagement.
Not as rigid as most retreats, not as loose as a festival, we will find our flow somewhere in the rhythmic middle.
We look forward to celebrating some blissful late Spring days on the island we all love so much. Singing, dancing, meditating, enjoying sunsets, starry skies, and amazing food are all predictable. But the real treasures will come from the spontaneous magic we will experience together.
See you soon in Corfu!!
