A 7 day embodied journey into the depths of our truest selves
"To heal is to touch with love that which we previously touched with fear." – Stephen Levine
Retreat Overview
In an era marked by profound global turmoil—we find ourselves at a pivotal moment. Humanity teeters on the brink of what often feels like collective exile—from our bodies, our communities, our planet, and, ultimately, from our true selves. "Out of Exile" is not just a retreat; it is a compelling call to return home—to heal the inner fractures that reverberate outward and to reclaim our innate power as agents of transformation.
This 7-night, 6-day experience invites those who sense that true healing begins within. Yet healing is not a passive endeavour; it demands active, embodied participation. We witness the disintegration of outdated systems, yet without mindful embodiment and conscious action, we risk perpetuating the destructive patterns we seek to transcend. "Out of Exile" offers the sacred space, transformative tools, and ancient wisdom needed to liberate us from this exile, releasing what has been suppressed and awakening what lies dormant within us.
Why This Retreat Now?
At this juncture in history, we are witnessing the devastating consequences of a disconnected world. Wars rage, our environment suffers, and loneliness, fear, and greed dominate our societies. These crises are not merely external; they mirror an internal disintegration—humans living in exile from their true essence, numb to the wisdom of their bodies, detached from the depth of their emotions, and silenced from voicing their deepest truths. When we exist disconnected from our bodies, we forfeit access to our most potent instruments for presence, observation, and change. The body is the repository of unprocessed trauma, repressed grief, and silenced emotions. It holds the key to our release, joy, and liberation. Numbness perpetuates cycles of destruction, but awakening the body—through movement, dance, sound, and stillness—unlocks its wisdom, the truths it longs to articulate, and the heart’s innate capacity for compassion and connection. At this critical moment, we require more than intellectual awakening; we need embodied awakening. This retreat recognizes that transformation must occur on all levels: body, mind, heart, and spirit. By exploring somatic practices, shadow work, grief rituals, and ecstatic movement, we are not merely healing ourselves; we are becoming the catalysts for the change our world urgently needs. We are rewiring our capacity for empathy, standing in our truth, and being fully alive so we may reflect that vibrancy in the world around us.
The Out of Exile retreat is a radical homecoming to the deepest parts of yourself—those parts that have been silenced, shamed, or exiled. Through body-based practices, emotional healing, and the reclamation of your voice, this journey provides the sacred space to awaken fully. You will emerge not only transformed, but also ready to carry the truths and compassion you’ve reclaimed into a world that urgently needs your presence and action. Together, we will rise from exile, moving forward with clarity, heart, and purpose.
