The annual Movement Monastery retreat offers an extended time in a serene environment to deepen your practices with a community of like-minded people. Come... breathe, stretch, move, rest, dance, bellydance, chant and whirl without words, with beautiful music, with your eyes open or closed. Enjoy innovative approaches to movement, music, body-work techniques as well as magical impromtu performances. You’ll experience the deep relaxation, abundant creativity, improved immune function, healing and inner peace you’ve been looking for. You'll take home renewed vigor and inspiration. No previous movement or dance experience is required. Welcome!

The 2008 Summer Movement Monastery runs from June 8 -21. The first week is open to everyone. Becasue our work is cumulative and dynamic, the second week is open to those who have attended the first week.

To help us all have the best possible retreat experience, we ask that you be present at the beginning of you first session and stay through the end of your final session. Those in Teacher Training are required to attend the full two weeks, arriving at the beginning and staying through the end session.
