BodyMantra Retreat with Kimberly Jonas

About the Retreat

BodyMantra is an unchoreographed movement practice designed to help participants develop and strengthen the qualities of presence, self-awareness, inner strength, trust, and authenticity. Over the course of the week, participants will be invited to unpack the stories of their current lives that need tending, to recalibrate to a place of balance and equanimity.

Facilitated by BodyMantra founder Kimberly Jonas, most days will include two, 2-3 hour sessions of exploration, focusing primarily on unchoreographed, freeform movement set to an evocative musical backdrop. Sessions will welcome both the obvious and the obscure, with the intention of cultivating an environment for authentic self-revelation and healing. Some of our time will be spent in stillness and contemplation, others in wide, expansive movement and sounding. We will also take time to engage in conscious dialogue with each other, allowing participants both to be heard and to act as witness.

Please note that this is an interactive, community-based practice. A willingness to participate, to be seen and vulnerable, open to content that is uncomfortable or unfamiliar is a requirement. Participants are required to attend all sessions during the week – this is not a “come and go as you wish” retreat structure. If you are uncertain about whether or not this is a fit for you, please contact us via email to discuss.

Midway through our week, participants are invited to join in an optional Temazcal – a sweat lodge led in the regional tradition. Other intentional ceremonial passages will be integrated into our work throughout the week. Ample free time will be available for strolling on the beach, resting in a hammock, playing in the ocean, or exploring the local area.

She has guided hundreds of people through passages of profound personal revelation and lasting transformation over the last twenty years.   A Reiki Master and founder of BodyMantra, Kimberly works with both individuals and groups to unearth the soul’s deepest desires and bring them to fruition in everyday life. She is known for her ability to spark unexpected, radical personal insight through laser-focused inquiry that is simultaneously compassionate and fierce: ‘Kimberly has a unique ability to peer into the unseen, balance imbalances, nudge gently, and work a type of magic I’ve never experienced before.’   From Kimberly: There is nothing more powerful than a soul on fire, seeking to be met in its longing. This is what BodyMantra is all about … bringing people back, again and again, to their innate powers of manifestation and transformation. I don’t beat around the bush. As much I love the good, shiny things in life, I don’t avoid difficult and uncomfortable content. It is imperative that we meet all aspects of ourselves – including the tough stuff – in order to be truly at peace. https://www.kimberlyjonas.com
