DANCE IN THE WATER
RETREAT WITH HOZUHNI
Water is a source of impetus for many
choreographers. Water manifests itself many ways on
this planet. Lakes, streams, rivers, geysers and
oceans all can be catalysts for a piece of
choreography. Dancers can glean emotions from
 water.
Water can be tranquil like a still cirque lake in
the Rocky Mountains or wild like a hurricane brewing
in the Atlantic and pounding the Outer Banks.
Visually the sundown or sunrise over water can be
arresting and can give one a whole color scheme for
costumes or lighting.
When one looks at water in nature
it is almost always in motion. When a human being is
moving through space using the elements of time and
energy, a dance is occurring. Dancing on water is
quite hard, a feat that would evoke much discussion.
Christ was said to walk on water and people are
still commenting on this impossibility.
Water can be friend or foe to
dance. To Isadora Duncan, the great progenitor of
modern dance, water was a major inspiration. She
always wanted to live near water. She talks about
her connection to the ocean in her book My Life. She
loved to perform her dances on a blue-green carpet
so that she had her sea source near by at all times.
At this workshop you will learn how to bond with the
water, to flow and to surrender to its magnificent
healing power.

The
Dance of The 4 Elements – a Retreat in The Forest
Honoring the traditional four
major natural elements through dance is a way of
getting in touch with Nature and Spirit. It turns
our awareness to the life force within and teaches
us how to connect to it.
Dancing with the intention of
touching various aspects of Nature brings energy and
vigor to our life. It heightens intuition and our
self-healing powers.

One with Nature Retreat
The purpose
of these retreats is to
allow us to deeply immerse
ourselves into ancestral
forms of living. We used to
be aware of our
interconnectedness with
Nature. We danced for the
Sun, the Moon, the Earth,
the Wind, the Water.
Everything we did was in
unity and attuned to “how it
feels” instead of “how it
has to be” or “how it looks
like.” Loneliness,
isolation, and disconnection
fill our days. All those
roles we have to play in our
busy 21st Century lives. We
have become busy, spending
most of our time inside
homes, cars, offices, malls,
airports, classrooms, not
having time, as we stumble
through our day among cell
phones, computers and all
kinds of gadgets supposed to
make our lives easier. In
fact, they do seem to
complicate it even more, as
we cut ourselves off from
that connection and unity
with Nature.
We have lost
touch with who we really are
and what are we here for. We
separate ourselves from that
sense of unity and have
allowed fear to be the
biggest player in our lives.
We feel afraid of going out,
afraid of speaking our heart
out, on a constant emotional
roller coaster of likes and
dislikes. We have locked
ourselves into a life of
despair and seem to have
lost the key. We feel
incapable of making changes
and keep on going
day-after-day,
month-after-month,
year-after-year, as this
disconnection grows.
The intention
in ONE WITH NATURE RETREAT
is to create a space to,
first, become aware of this
disconnection with Nature
and then reestablish it,
restoring communion with our
own Nature. I have been
devoting my time to creating
these Retreats and to Papo
CabeSSa, as they have been
taking shape into new
transformational spaces,
allowing for a sense of
connection to our own being
as Nature. Themes vary, but
the central intention is
one: to awaken the senses
and become aware that we are
not part of Nature: we are
Nature! Fun and profound,
dancing and playing at the
Retreat simply unlocks the
opportunity to contact our
own identity and to create
community; a weekend in the
woods, free from phone,
email and all electronic
gadget gives us a chance to
let go of day-to-day living
and restore our oneness with
Nature and Spirit; an
indescribable experience!
PAINT & DANCE
RETREAT
I believe we are born to express
ourselves through art!
When we are children we know how to do this very
well: we sing, we dance, we paint, we play!!
However, as years pass, we repress ourselves and
we separate from our inner child essence of
being and doing things in a spontaneous way.
The canvas for the Paint & Dance Workshop is
spontaneity to allow us to play the way only
children do and get in touch with our being and
be present, in the moment, here, now.
We paint our bodies to honor our being here,
now, breathing, living, playing roles in life.
We mix colors and brush them out letting
intuition and music be the only guides to
express our souls, merging with the music, paint
and dance, and allow them to become one as the
first glimpse into becoming one with the
universe. We become aware of how space and time
to flow within the rhythms the universe, as life
manifests through color and form and blend in
and out, above and beyond into the rhythm of all
there is.

Often called Red
Rock Country, Sedona
is settled in the
heart of Arizona and
known for its
wind-shaped red-rock
buttes, dramatic
sandstone towers and
it is one of the
best spots to see
the rugged nature of
the West. It is also
known for its sacred
Native American
sites where many
report
metaphysical
insights and
mystical
experiences. Even
those who have not
had such experiences
will agree that
Sedona is one of the
most beautiful places
in America, with its
awesome and
breathtaking red
rock sculpted by
wind, rain and
time, ancient ruins,
lush forests, and
dancing creeks. "ONE
WITH NATURE" in
Sedona intends to
let us immerse
ourselves into this
landscape and fully
experience nature.
And ourselves as
part of the one.
 The
idea of this event
came from
the intuitive
calling that
Enlightenment Through Dancer
Supryia had to move
to Sedona. Due
to exhausting sessions
of asthma attacks
that Supryia has
been treating
throughout the years
with not so good
results, she
felt that Sedona may
be a good place to
find alternative
healing and a cure.
Sedona has always
been a dream
destination to me
and I have been
looking for
opportunities to go
there for years!
Lets go to Sedona! I
said. This is a
friend to friend
journey and we would
like to extend this
invitation to you.
At
this Retreat we will
have the opportunity
to center, energize,
commune with nature,
see beautiful things
and bring
memories to our day
today living!
