About this Retreat
Roos:
Meet Roos, our somatic, dance and yoga teacher and our social media manager.
‘After the completion of my bachelors in Dance Education, I’ve dedicated my research into analyzing the use of dance as a tool to unravel unconscious behaviors, fostering the direct integration and embodiment of new behaviors. My work revolves around finding a balance between free expression and analyzing our movements, ultimately creating a deeper understanding within ourselves. I believe that effecting change within one individual can create a ripple effect throughout the entire .
With my background in teaching, performing and creating, my main focus is offering movement as a tool to raise awareness and understanding. At the core of my approach lies a synthesis of Somatics, Performance, Psychosocial Aspects, and Improvisation. My aim extends beyond the creative space, integrating these principles into daily life and relationships. In classes, I foster curiosity, authenticity, and exploration, encouraging individuals to explore subconscious behaviors for collective awareness.
Empathy, kinesthetic awareness, and collective consciousness are the pillars of my methodology, promoting personal expression and equality. I view movement and art as gateways to individual and collective growth, creating spaces that encourage dialogue through artistic expression and movement.’

Meet Jade, our beautiful manager and house soundhealer.
‘My musical journey started in 2008 amounting to a 15 year career as an international dj playing all of the world and sharing the stage with a number of top acts. My love for music is so vast that it naturally evolved into a passion for sound healing and live performance leading me to become an accredited sound healer. Sharing the magic power of musical frequencies is my biggest passion and love.
I am guided by the hangdrum as the key to the portal of vibration. Meanwhile I have extended my study of other healing instruments which enabled me to offer 1 to 1 vibrational massages and soundbaths and I has been blessed to receive ancient wisdom within ayahuasca ceremonies, hikuri, cacao, plant baths, temazcal and I’ve completed trainings in Breathwork and Ice Baths.
