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.

WindSpirit Tribe GatheringOctober, TBA 2020Come 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. | |

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 2018Dearest 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!!
