CONTORTION RETREAT 2026

Facilitator: Allison Schieler

January 25 till January 30, 2026

I am SO excited to announce that after a very successful contortion retreat in November 2024, I will be returning to Selvatica Eco Retreat in COSTA RICA January 25, 2026 - January 30, 2026!

Nestled within the lush Costa Rican jungle, this retreat is a haven for those seeking to explore the limits of their flexibility, connect with their inner selves, and be part of a supportive community. It will offer a blend of intensive contortion and inversion training; structured studio play and exploration time; group discussions about the circus and performance industry; as well as adventurous excursions and activities that can ONLY be experienced in the rainforest. Trust me, this retreat is "knot"🥨 to be missed.

Living Poetry Writing & Creative Embodiment Retreat

Facilitator: Nkem Chukwumerije

Guest Facilitator: Darsheel Kaur

June 11-16, 2026

We all need time to remember our essence, and poetry takes us right there. Poetry is a kind of remembrance, a kind of perception we can cultivate to bring more wetness and authentic vitality into life. More depth, curiosity, trust, wonder, feeling, healing.

During this retreat, we will gather to write and read poetry together, learning what it is to cultivate authentic inner vocabulary to express our feelings and perception. We will connect to the senses and the body, trusting the present moment experience as the only one to yearn for. We will live in the frequency of pleasure, mastering what it is to experience goodness. Join us.
