Join Neva Cockrell for a weekend of embodiment and creativity! Each day will include somatic meditation, movement, creative practice, and a chance to share your work.
This is a great opportunity for dancers to take time to care for their bodies AND have a supportive container to create work.
All meditation will be guided and focused on staying present in the body and with the breath. Our movement practice will include a healthy diet of both structured and unstructured movement. We will be doing a mixture of yoga, guided free movement (dance!) with music, strength training, and restoratives. All experience levels are welcome!
This retreat is designed for both artists who have a project and are looking for a structure to work within AND for anyone looking to reconnect with their creative spirit. Each day will include a guided creative starter to get the inspiration flowing, time offline dedicated to creating, and a chance to share your art in the evening and hear from other participants how it impacted them. All artistic expressions and experience levels are welcome!
