Retreats vs Festivals: what’s the difference❓

We hear lots of people using the terms ‘retreats’ and ‘festivals’ interchangeably. And whilst everyone will have their own personal definition of each word, we thought we’d share ours in the hope of giving better clarity on our offerings 💫

🎪 Festivals

• Festivals generally consist in groups of people with common interests/values who come together over a period of a few days to celebrate 🎉

• They are often large gatherings (hundreds or even thousands of people) and offer a program with multiples sessions to choose from.

• Meals are usually not included and taken in your own time. Participant can generally arrive/leave as they please.

🧘 Retreats

• Retreats consist in smaller groups of people who generally come in with an intention, or to work on something specific 🎯

• They are often focused on spiritual or self-development and there is only one program for the entire group.

• Everything is communal: meals, activities, sleeping and free time.

• Most retreats discourage or even forbid the use of mobile phones in order to cultivate an environment free from distractions 📵

• Retreats are about 'retreating' from the world for a set period of days in order to look within.

While the two offer very different experiences, we’re big fans of both. We believe it's as important to celebrate and enjoy ourselves as much as working on ourselves and making progress as a human being 💗

If this resonates and you haven’t been on retreat with us yet, we invite you to join us on our upcoming retreat! 🤗

Repost from who wrote a beautiful poem about her experience on our Spring Retreat at a few weeks ago:

☀️🍃☀️

Falling in love,
With nature,
Immersed in her,
Feeling her magic,

As I come back to nature,
I come back to my nature.

Swimming naked,
Meeting tadpoles,
Chats with laughter,
Sunbathing in bliss,
Receiving buttercups.

Taking up space,
Shifting perspectives,
With soft power,
Letting go,
Of self-censorship.

Being more me,
Not giving a single f*ck.

Intimacy,
With myself first,
Before with others,
Caressing my face,
Loving who I became.

A whole lifetime,
In one conversation,
Meeting deeply,
As if it’s the last,
Yet it’s only the first.

Pausing,
Taking it all in,
Those little moments,
Adding up,
Making up life itself.

Appreciating the feminine,
The embodiment of beauty,
Adoring what I see,
The goddess,
In all her expressions,
She is divine.

Old friendships deepening,
New friendships starting,
Sharing my love,
Seeing it flow,
Where it needs to go,
Touching people with kindness.

Opening myself up,
To receive love,
In all its unexpected forms,
That was there,
All along.

Smiling faces,
Free expressions,
Beautiful people,
Rolling around bodies,
Deep conversations,
Nourishing cuddles,
Singing as one.

Tears falling down,
My cheeks,
Literally the whole time,
From gratitude,
From grief,
From joy,
That or laughing,
I’m alive.

Sunshine,
Nourishing food,
Dance and movement,
Loving community,
No phone,
All that is needed,
Is here.

As a result,
Wisdom dropping,
Creativity flowing,
Emotions releasing,
Truth remaining,
In abundance,
Just like nature.

Nourishment,
On all levels,
Heart bursting,
With so much love.

Yes to more,
Having fun,
Dancing,
Loving,
Laughing,
Celebrating life.

Seen,
Loved,
Accepted,
Belonged,
Cherished,
Celebrated.

We love you,
Deep down,
Deep down,
Deep down in our hearts.

🍃☀️🍃

So much poetry was created during/after this retreat, it became an unexpected creativity outlet for many of us ✨

Retreatant spotlight 🌟

We felt call to share a poem from Kristi, who travelled all the way from Colorado to attend one of our retreats this year 🌎

During a Zoom call with her yesterday, she revealed just how much the retreat had an impact on her, and that she’s still feeling the aftereffects 6 weeks later: “Your work has changed my life and that of others as well” 💫

Her poem is a message to our group, 43 strangers from all ages and walks of life coming together and fusing as a big family for 72 hours before going our separate ways 🥲

Here it goes:

This is the loving thing

Weeks later, I still sway at odd moments with the remembered rhythm of spirit and sound

Having emerged from this metamorphosis with courage, as there is only reason to fear when we are in separation

So you too can be brave, dear ones

Because like the earth below us, which supports our short lives on the surface with its layers of fossilized remnants

We remain tenderly upheld and bound by these sun-dappled moments, now relegated to this shared past

Though we may be a community in diaspora and spread to far-flung places

The opportunity today is to forge on in open-hearted blessing with ourselves and others

Who also seek a way through hard and stony places to lightness

This is the loving thing. 💖

—Kristen Rogers

Introducing our Pay-It-Forward scheme! 🚀

We’re very excited to announce we’ve launched a new sponsorship scheme to enable even more people to join our retreats 🙌

While we strive to make our retreats as affordable as possible in order to make them accessible to a bigger pool of people (after all, our motto is 'Transformational retreats for all'), we often receive messages from people asking for discounts or volunteering opportunities as they can't afford a place 💸

On the other end of the spectrum, we’ve had someone share the other day that they estimated their retreat experience to be far superior than the price tag and would have easily paid at least double! 💰

This got us into putting together a sponsorship scheme to where we match generous souls with those who aren't in a financial position to pay full price to attend 💕

If you've been on retreat with us and feel like the value you received outweighs the price paid, we invite you to become a sponsor 💌

Alternatively, if you know someone who've been thinking about attending our retreats but hasn't had the means to, or someone who's been struggling financially and could really use a retreat (maybe that's you!), tag them here 🤗

Words can’t quite describe our retreat experiences, so we’ll just let photographs do the talking. If a picture is worth a thousand words, here’s our 10,000-word essay ❤️‍🔥

We don’t often capture our retreats on film as we understand it can be a barrier to authenticity and deep emotional processes, but when we do, we’re extremely grateful to have our participants allow us to photograph discreetly (and consensually —all pictures are reviewed by the group before releasing) 🙏

Heartfelt thanks to our incredibly talented photographer Claudia Gschwend for your sensibility & discernment 💕

A beautiful testimonial shared by Cristina () after our Easter Retreat 💐

“What a magical Estatic Dance weekend I just had!

Surrounded by other brave, kind, conscious people who all came for connection, joy, honest sharing, being held in music and others open hearts. Who shared all their colours and reminded me what people are made of.

All the workshops, the sharing and the dances made me be a better, more rounded person and more FREE!

The juiciness of it all: I step into the next stage of life being richer with more connections and smiles to meet again. 🙏

The last dance opened my heart even more and allowed tears to fall down as I think of my late aunt who’s birthday would have been today ❤️

Thank you .lacroix and team for creating this space for us. Really grateful for your work.

I am on my way home listening to the wonderful and her ‘I am Enough’ song 💖”

We’re still landing from the beautiful, deep and joyful retreat we’ve held at Embercombe over the Easter weekend 💐

A few of our favourite snapshots from our Spring Retreat in Portugal a few weeks ago 💛

There were laughs and there were cries, there were beautiful highs and unpleasant lows, tender moments and fierce times, profound self-reflections and deep connections ✨

But above it all, we witnessed a collective opening. A group of individuals who came together, nurtured one another and bloomed into radiant beings 🌼

This is the real magic of going on retreat. Coming back home an improved version of ourselves 💫

Keen on trying it for yourself? We’ve got 2 more dates coming up soon! 🙌

Post-retreat team shot 📸

The secret of a successful retreat? A happy, humble & compassionate team. No drama, no big ego (we still all have one!), only very grounded, empathetic & kind individuals working in harmony for the greater good 💖

We’re still landing from the retreat we just ended last weekend in Portugal. It was deep, powerful, insightful yet fun (so much fun!) 😁

Every time we return home after a retreat, we can’t help but be amazed by how much transformation can happen over the span of 4 days ⚡️

It takes a very solid team of facilitators and space-holders in order to create a safe & sacred space for participants. We couldn’t feel more grateful for this awesome bunch of humans for co-creating the magic that we all bathed in together ✨

A big heartfelt thanks to this magnificently brilliant team 🙏

Those of you who have been on retreat with us before will know: our retreats are so much more than just dance 💃

They foster connections, with yourself and with others 💕

They are about celebrating the sacredness of life through rituals 🕯

They are a digital detox, where you turn off your devices and see what happens when all the noise stops 📲

They are about spending time in nature. Honouring our Mother Earth and taking in all her beauty 🌍

They offer an opportunity to reflect, contemplate and ponder your life so you can get clarity on how to move forward 💫

Finally, they’re also about pleasure! Dancing like crazy, making friends, laughing out loud & indulging in copious amounts of delicious plant-based food 🍲

Have you convinced you yet..? 😜

One of the things we can never get enough of on retreat is the scrumptious food at Embercombe 🤤

We don’t know how they do it, but they always manage to prepare mouth-watering, nutritionally-balanced meals. All being completely plant-based and mostly organic and locally sourced (including from their own garden). Now if that’s not wholesomeness, we don’t know what is! 💯

Beautifully written testimonial from Fini, who took part in our last retreat 💠

“Yesterday I returned from a retreat in Devon with Ecstatic Experiences. I would more describe it as an experience rather than a retreat, and it blew me away completely beyond what I had expected 💥

I had never even been to an Ecstatic Dance before and everyone I spoke to couldn’t believe I had thrown myself in for a full retreat of them! 😅

As I looked around the room one evening, watching everyone I thought, this is what freedom looks like. Freedom from inhabitations, shame, conditioning, self-consciousness - pure bliss ✨

It was certainly one of the more intense experiences I’ve had, but for all the right reasons. No phones allowed at all so we really disconnected from the outside world 🌟

My intention for the retreat was to surrender, and I’m proud to say I really did. I’m still processing but the growth has been powerful ☄️

We had daily sharing circles of seven, which allowed us to talk through how we felt. The women in my group were just beautiful and we had so many synchronicities 💞

I connected with so many other incredible human beings, many with amazing offerings - what a group of people. The whole weekend felt like stepping into an ancient, spiritual world. The land at Embercombe felt spiritually charged somehow ✨

Time also had a completely different measure unlike I have ever experienced, it felt as though I had been there for weeks 🌀

I haven’t even scratched the surface on how it all was. I am still coming back down after so much medicine and expansion whilst happy and grateful for my life.” 🙏

REVIEW 💎

“This retreat went well and beyond my expectations, both from a personal experience perspective and the content. I feel as if I have gone through 4 months of serious self growth in just 4 days. The event was well organised, well paced, the teachers were incredible. The other people on the course were warm, open hearted and I felt completely safe despite having never attending anything like this before. I cannot recommend this experience enough. 5 stars all the way! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️” -Annalisa Corrigan
