Dance of Connection

Come home to yourself, find connection and nourishment in community, and with the land.

Together we take refuge in our primary language “rhythm”, and find belonging in the dance. Expand your repertoire of how you can connect with others on the dance floor and in life. Release old patterns of relating that no longer serve and explore the interplay of body, heart and mind, so you can show up more aligned and embodied.

This immersive retreat weaves the transformative movement practice of the 5Rhythms® together with heart-centred communication, land-based rituals, and embodied leadership. Sessions will be held indoors and outdoors.

Embodiment practices will unleash your creative spirit and support you in finding authentic and joyful expression.

No previous dance experience is necessary. Every body is welcome.

Testimonials

“I’ve had the gift of attending Bettina’s 5Rhythms workshop at Hollyhock twice now, and both experiences have been nothing short of transformational. Each time, I’ve come away feeling more grounded, uplifted, and alive. Bettina creates a space that feels both safe and expansive—where healing happens naturally through movement, connection, and presence. There’s a deep joy in the dance, and a quiet power in how she weaves it all together. If you’re looking for a meaningful, embodied, and soul-nourishing experience, this is it.” – Sean, 2025 participant

“A beautifully woven retreat; woven with threads of care, safety, play, ritual, embodied wisdom and carefully curated teachings, music and food. Bettina is an incredibly skilled facilitator, and Shauna Devlin’s presence was an absolute delight. Hollyhock offered the perfect physical container and backdrop to this workshop and made it worth every penny and drop of energy it took to get there.” – Johanne, 2025 Participant

“Bettina is an enchantress that uses music, movement, sharing and writing to create a magical space where creativity, exploration and connection can flourish. I felt nurtured. More than just feeling welcomed as I am, I felt it was important for my own experience and for the others’ experience that I show up as myself.” – Marc, 2025 Participant
