“Initiation 〜A Dancing VOYAGE through 9 cycles of LIFE 〜

This is a deep journey where we receive the energy that resides in the stories inscribed in our lives as a Resource, and make it our Power to create our present and future.

The retreat addresses the 9 cycles of the life journey:
conception, birth, childhood, puberty, adolescence, adulthood, maturity, old age and death.
Through dance, we explore the landscape and archetypes of the first five cycles, acknowledging what has been, transforming what can be done and learning from the challenges of those periods. When we reach the transition from adolescence to maturity, we spend a day on a mini-Vision Quest, giving an overview of our current life.

As further preparation for taking responsibility for your own life, we invite ‘benevolent death’ as a teacher and reaffirm that the time we have to live is precious and short.
The intention of the retreat is to expand the freedom of body, heart and mind to see our past as an important cornerstone for living a creative, empowering and connected life. We are not alone. You will be going on this journey with a wonderful group of dancers.

This retreat is your own journey and a journey into the story of humanity.It is a journey of forgiveness of the past, acceptance of the present and encountering the unique gifts you were born with.

We look forward to welcoming you on this special journey of life!

🌿Initiation is a rite of passage at a milestone in life. It refers to a series of processes that lead to recognition and incorporation as a full-fledged adult in society.
🌿Movement Medicine’s Initiation is a course created by Ya’Acov and Susannah Darling khan, founders of Movement Medicine.

🌿Initiation is one of the prerequisites for participating in the Apprenticeship Program (scheduled for 2026 in Japan), which will enable you to use Movement Medicine yourself. Another prerequisite is the Phoenix Process.
