Our
collective presence creates a

transformation.
Joanna's
JourneyDance Retreats are about
building community through
connecting with our hearts, and
heart to heart. We support one
another, as we are, not as we
“wish to be” in a spirit of
playful joy and shared
release. These retreats offer a
vibrant and sacred space for
healing. Providing a safe
container for release, Joanna
and her team support
participants in a playful and
nurturing way.
JourneyDance is a
therapeutic, healing movement
form comprised of simple guided
movement, full expression and
your moving body. It's not about
learning steps, but a natural
healing form that aids in
recovering, uncovering and
discovering.
Through free flowing organic
movement, ceremonial community
building and luscious yoga
sessions, these retreats inspire
people to feel connected with
self, others and the Grand
Mother Earth. We get to
experience our oneness and
interdependence.

WindSpirit
Tribe Gathering
-
October, TBA 2020
Come join us for a weekend of relaxation and renewal
in nature! The WindSpirit Tribe Gathering is a reunion
of friends (including those we have not met yet)
celebrating the renewal of community and the year with
revelry, relaxation, and enchantment.
It will take place on October 26 through 28, close to
Samhain, the time of renewal, when the trees shed their
leaves and we can shed those things that no longer serve
us. It’s an open-hearted celebration of the connections
that make us stronger, a full-body immersion in nature,
and a spectacle everyone participates in. We will
celebrate with dance, ceremony, and workshops.
Activities will include dance, yoga, performances,
tours, ceremony, saunas, and a closing performance by
Celia Farran.
This event is pay-what-you-want. We want everyone who
can to attend, and ask those who have the means to give
generously (all contributions go to WindSpirit to
maintain our space and help support our volunteers).
Tickets on sale here are simply to hold a sleeping
space. Contributions can be made in person before,
during, or after the event.
We ask all attendees to participate in any way they
can--both in scheduled activities, and following the "No
Spectators" Burning Man ethos.

Here is some feedback from
previous retreats:
Also see photo's below from
past retreats
- Thank you again for your
hospitality
- Wind Spirit -Thank you so much
for hosting us! Everyone at Wind Spirit
was so giving, caring, and supportive.
We so much appreciate that! The food was
excellent! I do not even know how to
express all my gratitude for the
opportunity to host our little retreat
in your beautiful paradise.
- Yulia Goddess Retreat 2018
Dearest All,
I had such a fantastic time and want MORE retreats! As many as
possible! I'm being greedy now, but it would be a wonderful
thing to do for myself regularly, and to be so close and feel so
far away is a real treat! The land and people, energy, and food
at Windspirit are beyond fabulous and Joanna sure seems meant to
do retreats! in her element! Again! I've never taken a class
from her oddly enough, and was amazed by her teaching style and
presence. So, Windspirit, Joanna, yogis, you have my love and
support for energetic expansion in all subjects!
Dr Cindy - Cynthia Gerszewski, DC ..and then I realized
that there is no way to happiness, happiness IS the way.
- I want to thank everyone for the amazing retreat. I
WANT MORE!! The experience over the weekend was profoundly
rejuvenating, inspiring, and joyful. The love, generosity
and kindness of all of you truly touched my heart and
spirit!
- Thank you Wind Spirit community for sharing your
gorgeous light filled land and for amazing food, laughter,
and love!
Again, Thank you all for an amazing weekend!
Much Love and Namaste! Alden
