Welcome to the Umanaya Tribe! 

A “Human Heart” family 

 We invite you to join us for a five-day journey to explore the many ways of connecting with your heart and expressing what lies within, nurturing a sense of true freedom.

🪷 Freedom to dance however you wish – alone or with others.
🪷 Freedom to sing – whether it’s just for yourself or in creation with others.
🪷 Freedom to play – expressing your inner child.
Connected to the Earth allowing your body to be moved by the flow of Life.

Held by the tribe we become mirrors of Light and Shadow
Uplifted by the group we can support each other to grow.
Our dances and sounds will be our prayers
To lift the energy of us and the world higher
Releasing blockages through the freedom of expression
We connect our hearts and remember that we are one.

What will we do?
Our program offers a wide range of experiences.
From Ecstatic Dance to Contact Improvisation, from Singing and Drum Circles to Sound Journeys and Authentic Movement – this retreat is an invitation to come into the body, to open and expand our hearts and to remember the oneness of the human tribe.

Also included:

• Fire gatherings & drumming
• Vocal & rhythm workshops
• Swimming in a natural pool & sauna
• Nourishing vegan/vegetarian food
• Connective community experience
