Rhythm and Rest- An Open Floor Dance and Sound Journey Retreat
Advertisement
Join us for a wonderful weekend of Open Floor Dance, immersive Sound Journeys and Ceremonial Cacao. A beautiful blend of rhythm and rest- a sacred pause to move, breathe, connect and renew.
'Rhythm & Rest Retreat'
Step away from the noise of everyday life and immerse yourself in a nourishing journey of movement and sound.
The Rhythm & Rest Retreat is an invitation to reconnect with yourself through the transformative practices of Open Floor Dance, Sound Journeys, and Ceremonial Cacao.
Move freely and authentically as Open Floor Dance guides you back to the wisdom of your moving body. Sink into deep relaxation as healing Sound vibrations wash over you, creating space for renewal and inner stillness. Gather in the warmth of Ceremonial Cacao, opening the heart and cultivating presence and intention.
Set in the wonderful Mana Retreat Centre we will be surrounded by nature, supported with delicious, nourishing food, and held by the beautiful spaces of the Octagon, Tara Sanctuary, and this sacred land.
Whether you are seeking inspiration, community, or simply a chance to rest and recharge, this retreat offers a supportive space for a sacred pause to move, breathe, connect and renew.
We would love for you to join us for a beautiful blend of Rhythm and Rest. You are welcome to arrive from 2pm onwards, the first session will start at 4pm.

Teachers

Pippa Le Lievre
I’ve always loved to dance and when I found Conscious Dance, here at Mana Retreat in 2008, I knew I had come home!
It wasn’t performance.
It wasn’t choreography.
It was soul.
There were no rules, no judgment—just the joy of being fully in my body.
Of letting spirit move through me.
Of remembering who I am.
That very first class stirred something deeper:
A knowing that this was not only for me, but something I would one day share.
Fast forward to now, after completing the Open Floor Dance teacher training 10 years ago, I now share this wonderful practise of Open Floor Conscious Dance at Mana Retreat and other venues around the Coromandel Peninsula.
