Melbourne 5 day urban retreat
Each morning, we begin in the waters of the Port Phillip Bay. I will guide you to listen deeply to the ocean — communicating and resonating with all external waters and the waters inside you.
We then move to the studio to work with the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual bodies as we explore the themes through the following modalities:
-
Experiential anatomy, functional movement through specific imagining techniques that involve the body systems, including the endocrine system
-
Continuum somatic movement practice exploring the body’s fluid nature through open attention, Breath & Sound that activate the pulsatory energy of your internal waters/fluid systems.
-
Authentic Movement (AM). Through a gentle shedding, a breaking open, truth rises through movement. A return to the heart, in the presence of a witness
-
Writing & Drawing
-
Speaking together and sharing our discoveries

Who is this for?
Are you ready to work from the body, to let it speak to you with an open heart and willingness to be vulnerable?
One who wants space and time to listen to the wise one inside—the one who doesn’t doubt.
Maybe you keep searching for yourself outside, tangled in beliefs, groups, philosophies, ideologies, social norms.
You question how you think, feel, and look—the list feels endless.
Love is the only way.
Transform toward you being you.
Transformation is chaotic and messy—watch how nature transforms itself.
We are messy, and that is OK. We were programmed to believe messy is bad.
That belief itself might be why you cannot be fully ‘Me.’
One aim of SensingFeelingDancing the Art of Being.Me is to give you permission to take this messy, beautiful journey.
Let us feel, see and make space for…
Your beating heart.
Your salty tears.
Your breathing lungs.
Your silent yearning.
Your deepest fear.
Your singing voice.
Your beautiful body.
The Physical
Your body’s potential to move multidimensionally, paying attention to Emotional, Mental, and Spiritual selves.
Hands moving from the heart as an electromagnetic vortex.
Arms moving from the lungs.
Spine moving from the spinal cord and brain—the support connecting us to heaven and earth.
Whole self moving, radiating like a starfish.
Bones, muscles, fascia—the connective web energised by fluid systems.
Water, molecularly 90% of us, moving through and connecting us to Earth and the universe.
The Emotional
Emotions live in every molecule of the body’s inner water, affecting every structure.
Happiness flows, trauma tightens.
Thoughts carry emotional undertones—“I’m OK” or “I’m not OK.”
Solar plexus and heart guide our feelings moment by moment.
The Mental
Is your mind your ally or controller?
Do you think top-down or bottom-up?
Can you feel sensations before the mind kicks in, or is that scary?
The mind can keep us busy, blocking feelings and the change we want to be.
The Spiritual
Are you connected to this?
Do you know you are part of the universe, a soul having a human experience?
My heart is bursting with love as I write this, looking forward to spending these 3 days with spiritually aligned souls.

Why Now?
A New Dawn is Here!
In this profoundly transformative time I am propelled to follow the energetic pull of the universe which is moving us to embrace and commit to heart consciousness like we have never done before.
We could never have imagined that we would witness the great shift of wo-mankind in our lifetime. The Kali Yuga has ended, as the autumn equinox marks a turning point; the galactic center stirs, and the black hole awakens. In the cosmic dance of astrology, the procession of the ages has shifted from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius.
We cannot be here without feeling the pulse of this transformation.
If you walk a spiritual path, you will sense it within you—though the journey may be challenging, you know it is a call to authenticity, to love, to community, to collaboration, to justice.
Chaos may feel disorientating, but it is the fertile soil of transformation. For thousands of years, a top-down, deeply patriarchal system has ruled us—overlooking feminine principles and pushing women into a secondary role.
For many women who feel this shift and want to live with harmony and fairness, it can feel lonely.
We want to regain momentum, remember who we truly are, and be empowered to fully be ourselves.
Yet often, when we do this, we can be seen as threatening—by women who may feel jealousy or competition, and by men who may experience fear, uncertainty, and loss of control
This journey will embrace the consciousness of water both as inner and outer conduits towards profound inner knowing conduits towards profound inner knowing. It’s about connecting with each other, rediscovering what’s already there, and being real with what is inside.

I was a creative, eclectic, sensitive kid who loved to sing, dance, create and invent.Even though my artistic temperament was not nurtured in my environment, somewhere inside me I knew what I was here to do. Through my creative and physical pursuits I stayed afloat in a sometimes hostile and foreign world. I became my own therapist.
I want to hear you, to see you. I want to feel with you, move with you, experience what it is that makes you, you. I want you to know me. I am not above you I am with you.
If you can not make this retreat & what you read interests you, let me know. There will be another.
Getting to know you
I want to know you,
and I want you to know me.
I’m the facilitator of this retreat —
I’ve walked many years of life and gathered experiences to bring me here,
but I’m not better than you.
I have skills that help me do this work, to write these words:
What are your words?
What’s your work?
What brings you joy?
What makes you sad?
What makes you sing?
What is your deepest desire?
Questions we my explore:
Who am I, who is ‘Me’?
What do I really think or feel about anything?
Am I dancing to someone else’s turn?
Am I living my authentic life or under the influence of something far from ‘Me’?
Is it safe to be Me?
Questions we may explore:
What are my gifts?
What’s my work in this world?
What makes me feel alive?
What are beliefs or old ideas no longer serve me?
What are beliefs anyway?
Questions we my explore:
What is Abandance?
What does it really mean to be abundant?
Maybe all that talk about how rich you will become is actually blocking you
from feeling how rich you already are.
Does abundance really have to do with money?
