COURAGE RETREAT with Caitlin . dance . song . connection .


  • Heartspace Retreat 1300 Yass River Road Yass River, NSW, 2582 Australia (map)

I invite you to join me for our next delicious deep dive into the medicine of dance, weaving together the practices of Dancing Freedom & Open Floor together with voice exploration & heart songs from around the world, ceremony & yoga.

I am so delighted to once again be joined again by the amazing team that came together to create our first COURAGE retreat in August last year, and the two since - PLENTY & THRESHOLD: the wonderful & wise Sara-Jane Cleland & Sue Tsigaros offering Yoga, Sacred Altars, Emotional Support & Space-holding.

We are so happy to be returning to the gorgeous Heartspace Retreat Centre in Yass, on the beautiful country of Ngunnawal. All organic food lovingly prepared by chef Angie Cowen - including local seasonal produce straight from the garden!

Our retreat lands halfway between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox, on the Celtic festival known as Imbolc, a time where the signs of Spring are beginning to stir, life is waking up again, and it is time to be born anew. This is the beginning of the seasonal year in earth time and a great time to birth and create new ways of being, new cycles and new chapters.

To live and grow in this human life takes COURAGE, and great heart, and is best done in good company.

A time to remember the medicines of dance & song,

Of sharing food and gathering around the fire.

These simple things that remind us how to live.

To live a meaningful life,

A soulful life.

A time to come together

To share and learn

And to reclaim our birthright

To live in connection and reciprocity with the earth and each other.

A time for COURAGE.
