Step into spring with a virtual retreat designed to nourish your body, creativity, and spirit. Through experiential Dance/Movement Therapy, Somatic Therapy, and Expressive Arts, you’ll be invited into a journey of embodied exploration, emotional renewal, and creative expression. Create safety, freedom, joy, and balance within. 

This retreat offers a supportive space to move, create, and reconnect—with yourself, with others, and with the natural rhythm of change and growth. As spring unfolds, we also come home to our own unfolding. Spring, here in the Northeast, includes baby birds singing after a nourishing rain, and the flight of petals falling from the cherry blossom trees: a dance between inward stillness and outward curiosity. We honor the duality within ourselves.

Led by Licensed Creative Arts Therapists trained in Dance/Movement Therapy and beyond:

Jennifer Giuglianotti, LCAT and Joy Ruben Welts, LMHC, LCAT

What to Expect:

• Grounding somatic awareness and breath practices

• Guided Dance/Movement Therapy experiences to explore emotion and embodiment

• Gentle trauma-informed yoga

• Expressive arts processes (including drawing, free writing, or sound)

• Time for verbal sharing, reflection, and gentle integration

• Themes of renewal, embodiment, release, and connection

Who It’s For:
Open to adults of all genders seeking embodied healing, emotional support, or a creative space to process stress, life transitions, grief, chronic illness, or anxiety. No prior experience in dance or art is needed—just openness to explore.
