We want you to dance the medicine. What does that mean? Medicine is anything that serves as a remedy or corrective. Whatever "medicine" you bring onto the dance floor—whether it’s a broken heart, curiosity about how your hips connect to your spine, excitement from a new job, a bad mood, or absolutely anything else—we encourage you to dance with it. Dance with yourself, with others, and with the entire community. Trust your body’s innate ability to restore balance, release what no longer serves, and bring clarity through the transformative power of dance.
We are hosting two Ecstatic Dance Retreats in 2026. Our May retreat takes place at Oasis Al Hamam in Spain and our November retreat at Quinta São José dos Montes in Portugal. Both venues are nestled in the hills and offer peaceful natural surroundings, a swimming pool and a range of accommodation options. Each space invites rest, connection and embodied celebration. Full venue details can be found on the each event page.
