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.

Why Retreat?Why do we retreat? Let’s get real for a minute and admit that our lives are hard. Daily life comes with its own rewards but it can be backbreaking. Even if we lead a life of luxury, everything we gain needs to be earned and maintained. A.J. Reb Materi pointed out that “so many people spend their health gaining wealth, and then have to spend their wealth regaining their health.” If we spend too much time working on gaining things in life, we often forget to step back and enjoy life.
That is why we retreat. We’ve built our lives and endured our struggles and now we need to enjoy who we are, the people we know, the world we live in, and our precious time. During Joanna’s Retreats, everyone is given the space to be fully present in his or her own being. There are community-building events that encourage each person to strengthen both their individual practices and their connections to fellow retreaters. We start on Friday night with some introductory activities to settle us all into the weekend to come. Then after a peaceful night under the luminous stars, we wake up and start moving at our individual paces until we are invited to come together for a morning yoga class. During the day there are more group activities as well as space and time for individual practice and reflection. On Saturday night we treat ourselves to a sauna and a campfire. Then finally on Sunday, we have the JourneyDance, an incomparable experience. All throughout the weekend, there are healthful and delicious meals, time for hiking and swimming and relaxing, as well as an abundance of wonderful people to connect with. Everything is geared toward taking care of ourselves and adding some joy and magic into our lives. Hopefully by the end of it, we’ll have strengthened our tools for bringing some of that joy and magic into our daily lives. Those who have been here before and those who have yet to have the experience, please come and retreat with us. We can’t wait! ~Jazmine Knight |
