Ecstatic Heart Retreat by Umanaya

Welcome to the Umanaya Tribe a Human-Heart Family

We invite you to join us for a four-day journey to explore the many ways of connecting with your heart and expressing what lies within nurturing a sense of true freedom.

Freedom to dance however you wish - alone or with others.

Freedom to sing - whether it’s just for yourself or in creation with others.

Freedom to play - expressing your inner child connected to the Earth allowing your body to be moved by the flow of Life.

What will we do?

Our program offers a wide range of experiences.

From Ecstatic Dance to Contact Improvisation, from Singing and Drum Circles to Sound Journeys and Authentic Movement – this retreat is an invitation come into the body, to open and expand our hearts and to remember the oneness of the human tribe.

Also included:

• Fire gatherings & drumming

• Swimming in a natural pool & sauna

• Vocal & rhythm workshops

• Nourishing vegan/vegetarian food

• Connective community experience

Experience to be part of a Tribe, a Family

Held by the tribe we become mirrors for each other’s beauty and shadow 

Uplifted by the group we can support each other to grow.

Our dances and sounds will be our prayers 

To lift the energy of us and the world higher

With the intention to release blockages through the freedom of expression 

We come together to connect our hearts and remember that we are one.

Tickets

We want to enable everyone to join this experience, therefore we choose a flexible ticket system where you can choose to pay a little bit more, if you can, in order to help someone that can only afford to pay a bit less. Like this we can support each other within the tribe and balance each other.

Therefore the three price categories:

• you support the tribe
• standard
• you are supported by the tribe

The ticket price includes everything: accommodation, food and facilitation.
