# Event Details - **Event Name**: Dance The Medicine • Conscious Dance Retreat • Almería, Spain - **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 11 May, 2026 at 03:00 pm – Mon, 11 May, 2026 at 03:30 pm (+02:00) - **Event Description**: Allow the outside world to fall away and become fully immersed in dance, community, and a unique group-field experience.About this EventAbout the Immersion​​Come retreat with us. We call it an Immersion because that is exactly what you’ll do: allow the outside world to fall away and become fully immersed in dance, community, and a unique group-field experience facilitated in the way only the DTM Team can.The idea is simple: a group of people comes together with the intention to dance, focused on a central theme. We each bring our own medicine — our circumstances, desires, struggles, hopes, and curiosity — and dance with it all in relation to that theme. We dive deep into the group field created by a unique constellation of dancing humans and attuned facilitators, trusting the magic that unfolds.Each Immersion retreat is facilitated by Bernice and other members of the DTM Team. We will dance at least twice each day to impeccably curated music that is DJed live. We will also engage in non-dance practices and processes, each shaped by the specific team, location, and theme. While the Immersion format and method remain consistent, the combination of theme, place, and practices shifts — making this a living practice dancers can return to again and again to reconnect to themselves, their dancing family, and whatever infinite source they credit with their existence.This is a conscious free-form dance practice (often called Ecstatic Dance). There is no choreography or steps to learn. You do not need to identify as a dancer to join us. Each DTM Immersion follows a similar rhythm and includes a theme that shapes the experience; however, it is the group field — the shared creation of those who show up — that ultimately generates the transformative power of each Immersion. It will not be the same without you.This retreat will be capped at 40 participants to keep it well-contained and intimate.This Immersion's Unique Theme: InceptionThis immersion is for the way-makers, those who want to be part of a new chapter in the DTM story. This is the first DTM Immersion ever offered. While we have led other retreats, we have never before offered one with this intention, format, or depth.The spark came when one of our facilitator students declared that all people should have access to the level of alchemy and transformation created during our facilitator programs. We could not agree more. So, for those of you who want the opportunity to be immersed in dance for six days, we invite you to help us create a new way.Those who show up will become the first lineage holders, the torchbearers of a format we intend to share repeatedly across the world. You will help shape the blueprint. A first time comes only once.​This immersion is open to everyone, including those who may not see themselves as initiators or leaders. Way-makers are not always the bold ones; often they are the steady ones who bring the missing piece that allows a collective vision to land. Join us, and one day look back and say, “I was there at the first one.”​For this retreat, please bring two talismans: one that represents you, and another symbolising what you hope for us to build together. This second talisman will be a giveaway you leave as part of the altar, which we will carry forward to the Lineage Immersion in Portugal in October 2026.To read full details about the event and register, visit our website .What's Included6 Days of Dance & Live DJed Music We begin each day with dance, a practice we call Morning Movement, and return to dance again throughout the day at different times and in different spaces — indoors and outdoors — guided by the rhythm of the retreat. All dances are accompanied by impeccably curated live DJ sets.​Professional Facilitation We will offer both dance-based and non-dance-based sessions, each relating to the theme and the evolving arc of the immersion. Non-dance-based sessions may include meditation, group process work, nature immersion, creative processes, and more. Every session is held by experienced facilitators, creating a thoughtful and supportive environment where you can meet your edges, awaken your creativity, and discover new parts of yourself.5 Nights Accommodation & Healthy, Nutritious MealsThe cost of the retreat includes accommodation and 15 shared meals. We choose venues that value whole, nourishing food, using local and organic ingredients whenever possible. Meals will be vegetarian, with vegan options available, as well as accommodations for special dietary requirements. Upgrades for double and private accommodation will be available for those who prefer them.​Community Living We offer this immersion as an opportunity to dance with the broader conscious dance community. While our organization focuses on conscious dance education, we recognize that some of you are seeking a chance to dance together and experience the depth, care, and connection that defines our work. This immersion offers that space. We will move, live, and journey together in a well-held and intentional container. Whether you have trained with us before, are considering it in the future, or are just discovering Dance The Medicine, you are welcome.Immersion PricingThe Immersion all inclusive price: €895A 100 CA$ (Canadian dollars) deposit is required to book, and we offer flexible payment plans.This price includes dorm or camping accommodation, food, access to all amenities.Upgrades to a double/private room available for an additional cost (please check upgrade options on our website here).Early registration: €795(Available until 12th March 2026 — 60 days before start date).After booking and paying your deposit our student liaison will assist you in selecting accommodation.

The name “Al Hamam” refers to the natural sulfur baths that once existed here, known for their therapeutic properties since the 19th century.Originally built as a thermal bathhouse, the Cortijo Los Baños has been lovingly restored to preserve its natural Andalusian charm while offering the comfort and facilities of a modern retreat space, including a pool and haimas inspired by the exotic riads of Morocco. The result is a sanctuary where silence, creativity, and connection unfold naturally — a place for wellbeing and transformation of body, mind, and spirit.Your FacilitatorsBERNICE RAABIS • Founder of Dance The MedicineBernice is on a mission to spread conscious dance communities across the globe.
