REFLECT, RELEASE, AND RESET

Have you ever wondered what it would feel like if you could fully open your heart, revel in the vitality of your body, and radiate vibrant energy?

JourneyDance® can offer this amazing opportunity. It isn’t a workout—it’s a work-in. It’s a deep alchemical practice of emotional release, embodiment, and soul reclamation that invites you to feel, heal, and transform through movement, music, and presence. As the year draws to a close, this weekend offers you sacred space to reflect, release, and reset—not from your head, but from the wisdom of your body.

In the safety of guided ritual and somatic exploration, you’ll be invited to move through the full spectrum of your emotions. Unlock the inherent wisdom of your heart, energize flow in your body, and quell the chatter of your mind. Explore various emotional landscapes and shed layers of stress and inhibition to reveal the radiant essence of your being. Let grief surface gently, held by rhythm and community. Allow anger to release safely, without shame. Invite joy to return—to rise, to ripple, to renew. Root into your resilience and expand your capacity for love. These emotions, often buried under the weight of daily life, are welcomed here. In moving through them, we find resilience. We reclaim our wholeness. We return to love.

Led by Toni Bergins, creator of JourneyDance and author of Embody: Feel, Heal, and Transform Your Life Through Movement, this immersive experience is designed to quiet the mind, unlock the heart, and awaken the power of embodied presence. You’ll explore dynamic movement, personal inquiry, creative expression, heart-opening rituals, and the profound support of a nurturing community.

Together, we’ll:

  • Awaken your body’s vitality and release stagnant energy.
  • Reconnect with your heart and feel the truth of your emotions.
  • Shift from mental noise to embodied presence.
  • Experience deep joy, inner peace, and renewed confidence.
  • Engage in rituals of intention, self-love, and somatic connection.
  • Dance in community and be witnessed in your wholeness.

This weekend is for anyone ready to shed old layers, deepen your connection to self, and feel fully alive. You’ll cultivate intention and awareness, reconnect to your intuitive body’s wisdom, and access the inner stillness that lives beneath the chaos. In this space, you don’t need to perform, fix, or hide. You get to move what’s real, be witnessed, and come home to yourself. Let this be your ceremony of completion. Leave with an open heart, ready to step into the new year renewed, open, and connected to the radiant truth of who you are.
