interwoven
October 10-13, 2025 – Buffalo Gap, WV
We are not separate threads—we are a tapestry.
After stretching the edges of our capacity, we gather again to weave what we’ve uncovered into the fabric of our lives. Interwoven is a return to connection—connection with ourselves, with one another, and with what holds us when the world feels uncertain. Through movement, stillness, and the wisdom of the body, we’ll explore the ways we are already woven into something larger—and how to choose the threads we carry forward with intention. Come weave together the parts of yourself that long to belong.
Together we will:
Dance deeply, listening to the body’s language
Reconnect to the relationships and rhythms that nourish us
Sit in circle, share story, and allow what is ready to integrate
Rest, swim, soak, and renew in the beauty of nature
In addition to daily dance sessions, you’ll enjoy a variety of experiences designed to nurture your entire being:
Wood-Fired Sauna: Relax and rejuvenate in the warmth of a hand-crafted sauna.
Nature Activities: Explore hiking trails, swim in a pristine lake, and immerse yourself in the beauty of the forest.
Community Fire: Gather under the stars to connect, share, and celebrate around the fire.
Optional Yoga Classes: Begin your mornings with a gentle yoga flow to awaken your body and spirit.
Massage and Cranial-sacral therapists available on site.
Set against the turning leaves of Buffalo Gap—where forest meets sky and lake reflects heart—Interwoven invites us to land gently and powerfully into the next layer of our becoming.
Come weave what’s real. Come home to the whole.
