Body of Joy:
Ecstatic Spirituality through Breath, Yoga, Art, and Dance
Tavira, Portugal
Six-day, in-person retreat
June 5 – 10, 2026
“If enlightenment does not take place in the body, it does not take place at all.”
— Yeshe Tsogyal, 8th-century Tibetan Buddhist master, consort of Padmasambhava, and one of the most venerated figures in Vajrayana Buddhism.
Much of spirituality—East and West—rightly focuses on “up and out” practices, awakening the higher chakras to deepen compassion, spiritual insight, and wisdom. These are called “generation stage” practices in Tibetan Buddhism. As spiritual development advances, it becomes important to also include practices that are “down and in,” to awaken all the subtle energy centers in the human body, which then becomes a living microcosm of the larger cosmos.
This retreat focuses on natural embodied practices, drawn from eastern and western traditions, that awaken the spiritual energy and vitality of the entire human body— which leads to experiencing daily life as living in a “body of joy.”
Drawing on dance, breathwork, art, yoga, movement, and diverse spiritual disciplines, join us as we reclaim our natural human birthright.

A Call to Wholeness: A Journey of Healing and Reconciliation between Masculine & Feminine
Essex, UK
In-person workshop
October 15 – 18, 2026
The process creates a safe space for breakthroughs in individual transformation and community healing—by working skillfully with participants’ lived experiences in relation to gender and sexuality. Together, women and men of all sexual orientations enter into a deeper understanding and mutual appreciation of their own experience and journey, and also awaken greater compassion, empathy, and understanding of others’ gender-based experiences and challenges.
Participants will be guided through an interactive and highly experiential process that includes personal reflection, small group interaction, silent meditation, somatic exercises, experiential honoring, and council process to explore and transform sensitive issues relating to gender and sexuality. The consistent result is a deeply nourishing and liberating experience for all participants.
