Somatic meditation, tantric yin yoga, and ecstatic authentic expression come together in this 2-day immersion with movement and art therapist Lara Zilibowitz and artist HOLLOWAY, taking place in July 2026, with exact dates to follow.
Over the course of the weekend, we will explore embodiment as a living art form and discover what it means to meet ourselves with depth, intimacy, and presence as a pathway to healing and awakening.
This immersion offers a bridge between Tantra Yoga and somatic practice, opening space for aliveness through genuine feeling and authentic being. Practice and discussion will center on the beauty of embodied spirituality, and on the richness of walking the path of love and presence.
It is especially well suited for yoga teachers and movement facilitators who want to deepen their ability to hold space, as well as for committed students who long to inhabit their lives more fully.
Together, we will move out of the mind and into the intelligence of the body and soul.
All practices will be accompanied by live ritual music by HOLLOWAY.
This promises to be a joyful weekend of connection, love, and creative ceremony with two master artists and teachers.
