MUSTANG REVIVAL 5Rhythms Retreat at Stowel Lake Farm with Anne Marie Hogya

REVIVAL | A 5Rhythms Retreat at Stowel Lake Farm with Anne Marie Hogya

Come revive your wild.

Join me for a long weekend retreat, where we’ll step away from the world to the spectacular Stowel Lake Farm located on Salt Spring Island, BC. Here, we’ll steep in nature, nourish our bodies with farm-fresh food, and move together in sun-soaked spaces. Experience nature, growth, and community in an unforgettable setting. 

Sometimes we need an awakening, 

a restoration of colour, vibrancy, life-force, and vigour.

Sometimes our dreams need to be born again, 

and we have a place and the space to revitalize our hearts and spirits. 

Sometimes we need full permission to feel alive 

and crack open the beauty and potency within us. 

Sometimes we need to swiftly and effortlessly move from survival to revival 

so that everything can renew. 

Shadow, Dark, and Light

We all contain aspects, expressions, and energies that shine bright: parts that are welcome and rewarded during daylight hours. And we all contain aspects, expressions, and energies that are deeper and more mysterious: parts which are equally intelligent, vibrant, and necessary to our wholeness. We also have aspects and behaviours that we disown. Places we don't like to go. Parts that we feel we can't afford to acknowledge, within ourselves or in the world around us. These, we push into the shadows. In this weekend workshop, we will follow the maps of the 5Rhythms to explore and embody all of these realms, walking well-lit trails, exploring deeper parts of the forest, breathing life into forgotten places, and braiding the threads that make us whole.

Joanne teaches 5Rhythms with a deep respect for the transformational nature of this practice, for the insight that this practice can bring to our daily lives, and for the unique discovery process of each participant. Her teaching is rooted in a lifelong engagement with her own study and personal work. Since 2001, she has held a steady space for the growth and evolution of a robust dance community in Victoria BC, and has shared her love of this practice with students across North America.
