Transformative Retreats
"In order to understand the world, one has to turn away from it on occasion". ~ Albert Camu
In many shamanic societies, if you went to a medicine person complaining of being disheartened, dispirited, or depressed, they would ask you one of these four questions.
When did you stop dancing?
When did you stop singing?
When did you stop being enchanted by stories?
When did you stop finding comfort in the sweet territory of silence?
We invite you to joy-ne us in a more unusual retreat where we awaken joy through the potent medicine of ritual, laughter, dance, storytelling, silence, heart-led practices and reflections that help us call back these lost parts of ourselves.
Our souls grow when we can cultivate the capacity to hold both the burdens and the blessings in the same beating heart.
This retreat will encourage you to open your heart to those times when you stopped dancing, to the times you felt burdened – honouring those times AND still feeling joy, blessings and having fun!
We have the great capacity to hold both.
Client Experiences
Really incredible job (on facilitating this retreat). It's really impressive how both of you cite and give reference to the variety of practitioners that have informed and played into your thinking and process, yet at the same time creating a truly original and authentic experience.
The most powerful value was the distillation of a simple and meaningful intention at the end. This was only possible because of the extremely well thought through steps and exercises that we journeyed through during the retreat. There were lots of other powerful elements. I loved the exercises we did. I loved the stimulation of fresh thoughts. I loved the connection. I could go on…

The Re-Joyce retreat materially shifted insights for me. I had read the Little Book of Joy beforehand & yet it was through the superb facilitation of Wendy & Jason that I was finally able to embrace Joy and Self-Compassion. As a coach the concepts were not new to me but it was their process which was so ably facilitated that achieved more than I had anticipated. I highly recommend it.

Re-Joyce was a vibrant experience from start to finish. It was truly special to be led by Wendy and Jason, in connect with fellow "Re:Joycers" through a process that was so much fun, yet also carried deep and rich philosophical and therapeutic messages. Child-like joy blended with deeper reflection to surface and distill my thoughts. I emerged with crystal clear intention on how to flourish better with more beauty and sparkle. The journey helped me to rise out of the fudgy and lethargic patterns driven by recent times. I felt lifted, refreshed, and more able to see joy as a compass to guide healthy, happy pathways forward. I also made several amazing new friends, a delightful and unexpected outcome.
