TENDER TERRAIN

What happens when we can't move like we used to? 

When our bodies call for slowing, softening, and reimagining the way we dance?

This 4 month program is designed specifically for those navigating physical limitations, temporary or chronic, visible or invisible. Whether you're healing from a recent injury, navigating chronic pain, aging, pregnancy, the journey to menopause, or tending to long-held wounds, TENDER TERRAIN offers a compassionate and supportive space to move, feel, and reconnect. 

Rather than pushing through pain or retreating from the dance entirely, we learn to listen more deeply to the messages of the body. 

Our changing body becomes a wise guide, asking us to move slower, with more intention, with more curiosity. 

In these sessions, you are encouraged to let go of how it should look and lean into how it truly feels.

Through online Zoom sessions, facilitated playlists, and writing prompts, you’ll be gently invited to explore how your changing body can become a teacher. With each beat and breath, you’ll uncover new ways to express, adapt, and listen to the quiet wisdom within, navigating emotional landscapes through movement and mindfulness.

• Four recorded curated movement sets with verbal facilitation by Shauna 

• Worksheets and creative inquiries to support your emotional and physical navigation in a framework to honour your pace and limitations with care and presence

 • One 1:1 Embodiment Coaching Session 

This is for all bodies navigating the tender terrain of change, this is a space to move with what is, and to discover what’s still possible. Whether you are long time dancer or new to conscious dance, this is an invitation to explore how it is to live and dance with a change in our body.

Together, we reimagine what it means to move, to participate, to belong.

 Together, we learn to navigate the dance floor—and life itself—in new and compassionate ways.

Come as you are. 

Move as you can. 

Discover how much is still possible.

This journey invites you to honour your resilience, your story, and your body's ever-evolving truth.

GRACE

 G R A C E 

Weekend Retreat 

GABRIOLA ISLAND, BC Canada

APRIL 17-19, 2026

GRACE is a way of moving through life with awareness, enchantment, and compassion. It invites us to slow down, to listen deeply, and to meet what’s in front of us with openness and curiosity. 

In this retreat, we will explore grace as an embodied practice — a quiet strength 

that helps us live with more presence, kindness, and courage.

Join Shauna at a private ocean front retreat centre on Gabriola Island BC 

where you will have time to be with nature, enjoy the Bathhouse spa, write, sit in circle, and dance. 

INCLUDES:

Two Nights Accommodation 

(5 commuter spaces available)

Four Vegetarian Meals & a variety of teas

(2 Lunches & 2 Dinners - bring your own breakfast)

All Sessions 

(Indoor and Outdoor - movement, circle, writing, art)

Access to the brand new water front Bathhouse: steam room, sauna, hot tub, cold plunge and ocean access

Grace is found in the balance between effort and ease — in knowing when to act and when to allow. It asks us to move with the rhythms of nature, to soften into connection, and to bring gentleness to ourselves and others.
