Creative Empowerment~ A Dance and Yoga Immersion
With Brietta Leader and Elizabeth Ruff
October 27 - November 2, 2025
Do you want to raise the frequency of your expressive body?
Are you stuck behind chains of right-ness and not living from your authenticity?
Are you ready to deepen your understanding of the Medicine of the 5 Elements within your body, energy, and relationships?
If you have answered ‘Yes’ to any of these questions please join us for an immersive experience that will awaken your wild core and connect you to your creative empowerment.
Over the course of 6 transformative days, we will explore each of the 5 Elements: Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Space. Each day will focus on the unique energy and qualities of one element through conscious dance, playful yoga, fascial movement principles, breathwork and ceremony. When we learn to balance our elements, we can enhance our physical and energetic bodies. This creates a harmonious connection to our chakra system and super-charges our whole life. The elemental map that guides this retreat leads you to a treasure chest filled with the light of your own inner healer and somatic wisdom.
What Awaits You: –
Artistry of the Expressive Body: Learn to become an artist of your own movement, exploring the depths of your expressive potential. We will develop an understanding of our fascial anatomy as a pathway to greater levity in your body and your spirit, so you can live into and expand your movement vocabulary.
Wild Core Discovery: Unearth the untamed qualities of your wild core, fostering a deeper connection to your authentic self. Dance with the biomechanical landmarks and function of your core to hold posture integrity and wise movement patterns on and off the yoga mat.
Choreography, and Conscious Movement: Engage in weaving choreography with conscious dance and yoga practices that honor your body’s innate wisdom. –
Remember your Sacred Wild Feminine: Through movement, meditation, ceremony and breathwork we spark our birthright of belonging, wholeness and discover our inner healer artist.
Somatic Linguistics: We will flow from the microcosm to the macrocosm and embody meaningful metaphor and movement to enhance your personal practice, creativity and teaching skills.
