Underwater Movement & Healing Immersion
BELIZE
May 18-23rd, 2021
6 day, 5 night underwater workshop
funding local ocean conservation efforts
In a world that demands we move fast and break things, we also need to create time and space to cultivate our capacity for stillness, slowness and surrender.
That's why, I'm headed to Belize May 18-23rd, 2021 to run an underwater movement immersion focused on healing, regeneration and connection.
In this 6 day, 5 night immersion, you'll experience a cultivated series of exercises, in and out of the water, to facilitate your own transformative process. I'll guide you through each step of centering, surrendering then transmuting.
The water is the one place you can infinitely pour whatever you‘re carrying and this immersion is designed for me to help you set an intention to let go, release and actually experience a shift.

TRAINING DETAILS
These underwater techniques facilitate new levels of freedom and flow and I can't wait to share this underwater practice with you.
So please join me, to discover what’s below the surface and enjoy a week-long workshop focused on the process, not the end product.
Though, you will come away with some lovely underwater photographs and video clip of yourself - so you can remember the experience and that at anytime, how you can tap back into these meditative underwater states.
You'll also be also funding local ocean conservation efforts, which is the best part. 10% of the trip proceeds are re-invested locally to coral reef restoration efforts.
IN THIS UNDERWATER IMMERSION, YOU'LL LEARN:
- Buoyancy, safety and breath-control basics for performing underwater;
- How to release into the water through a 3-step process of center, surrender, sequence;
- CENTER: is a training of meditation, breathing exercises, ribcage isometric and intention setting
- SURRENDER: is a series of guided above-water movement-based exercises to expand lung capacity and enable the body to feel safe slowly moving from structured patterning to losing structure completely and being open to impulse after achieving stillness.
Then followed by in-water watsu dance and flow techniques, both solo and then in partners, that act as a bridge between land and water.
- FLOW: is the step where we bring the practice to the deeper water and layer one-by-one underwater movement and safety techniques. - Exploration of underwater modeling and posing techniques, working with cameras & lighting. Underwater photos and video will be taken of all participants while engaging in this immersion and everyone will come away with dedicated shots of themselves.
THE PORTRAITS
The end of this immersion culminates in personalized photoshoots capturing you in pure flow underwater showcasing everything you've learned during the week. Bring your own costume or use some of our fabrics available. The underwater photo sessions are your chance to showcase all your new underwater skills.
We have TWO underwater photogs joining this trip - BRETT STANLEY & JUSTIN LUTSKY! They will provide 2 edited shotes per attendee.

WHO IS THIS FOR?
This retreat will cultivate a safe space for you to explore releasing anything that no longer serves you. The more you release into the water, the more you train at a physical level, the feeling and process of letting go.
All participants will experience meditative flow states and come away with some amazing underwater images to encapsulate the immersion.
Ocean- and travel-enthusiasts who are looking for a unique experience with a philanthropic component will also find our offering as a culmination of these desires. You don't need to be a diver or a dancer, simply hold a willingness to go deep and do the hard work of surrendering.
This course is acceptable for beginners, but you must be able to swim and feel comfortable in the water. A wetsuit, mask, and snorkel are not required but are helpful. Nose clips, however, are required. We will not be using fins.
