Tranquility

“I’ve done quite a few 5Rhythms workshops, and this is by far the gold standard! As usual, Ann and Anand’s ability to create a safe container for a deep dive is unparalleled, but moving to great music in a huge elevated room with an unobstructed 180 degree view of the ocean took the experience to a whole new level. Dancing to the sunrise over the Atlantic early Sunday morning on the windy terrace was a highlight of the retreat, and of my year!”

The Retreat

Tranquility awaits you at Virginia Beach, February 12-16, 2026.

Join us for five days of movement, healing, and community in a serene oceanfront setting.

We will return to our beautiful, relaxing beach house to create a strong, compassionate container together. The ocean’s rhythm, the warmth of the house, the grounding dance, Anand’s healing touch, and the companionship of fellow travelers will weave a cocoon of ease and support for you to unwind, release and recharge.

Rejuvenating experiences like cold plunges in the ocean, a sunrise dance, creative arts, hot tub soaks and nourishing meals are all designed to bring you back to the essence of being. Anand will offer individual Brennan healing sessions to each participant, deepening and supporting your journey into refuge. Nathalie will guide us on a creative arts experience to deepen your self expression and awareness.

Come as you are, and let the waves of movement, emotion, and healing carry you to the sanctuary within.

This retreat completes on Monday, February 16, however Monday evening is included as an additional night of tranquility at no additional charge.

Lodging & Meals

Lodging

We have reserved a large private ocean-front home south of Virginia Beach and a second overflow house within walking distance. Both houses includes many private bedrooms and large common areas.

Rooms and beds are priced in the registration widget, above. In general, more privacy and less sharing raises the price; less privacy and more sharing brings the price down. Overflow house lodging prices are to-be-determined, but we currently expect overflow lodging to be roughly half the cost of equivalent beach-front lodging.  You can place a deposit toward a bed in the overflow house to reserve your spot.

Your lodging also includes access to the indoor pool and hot tub in the ocean-front house.

Meals

Catered group meals (including vegetarian and vegan options) will be provided as part of the retreat. Alternative meal options are available for attendees with stringent dietary restrictions (please contact us to discuss). Included meals begin with Thursday dinner and end with Monday lunch.  Snacks between meals and drinks will also be provided.

Schedule

The retreat will begin Thursday, February 12th at 5:00pm and end Monday, February 16th at 2pm. A schedule of dance sessions and meal times will be emailed to attendees before the retreat begins.

All attendees are welcome to stay an extra night and check out on Tuesday, February 17th by 9am.
