Held in the heart of Ubud

Nestled away alongside Ubud’s thriving tropical monkey forest, Swasti Eco Resort is the perfect place to disconnect from the breakneck of everyday life. As soon as you arrive here, you feel like you have entered into your own private oasis of serenity and flourishing gardens. Across the sprawling grounds, you’ll find Balinese architecture, flowering trees that shade stone pathways, a salt-water swimming pool to cool down in, and an Organic garden grown with love.

Recalibrate in Eco Cottages

From spacious group dorms to twin-share cabins, the retreat centre offers a variety of comfortable rooms available for different budgets. Each cabin celebrates the earth and the elements with its quaint cottage-style living, wooden floors, and traditional architecture.

Throughout the resort, the rooms are connected by cobbled pathways, coconut trees, Balinese vegetation, and flower mandalas.

With lots of cushioned corners tucked by the pool for you to journal, integrate, or have some alone time - the retreat centre is truly a haven from the outside world.

Organic Food Grown from the Land

All meals are included in your retreat package - and Swasti Eco Cottages provide a mouth-watering selection of delicious local and western cuisines. All of the dishes are prepared with love and intention.

Each meal is colourful, organic, and fresh. Most ingredients are straight from land to plate (picked daily from Swasti’s vegetable garden) or otherwise sourced from local organic farmers, so you’ll never have to worry about chemicals or pesticides in your food.

Be Held in the Safe Custodianship of Activated Sisterhood

The Retreat will conclude with an intimate concert ceremony held in Ubud, where participants will perform a live dance transmission that reflects the deep and transformative course content.

This will be an opportunity for you to feel fully received in your full-bodied expression and uninhibited aliveness. The event will conclude with a wild ecstatic dance party where we will have the opportunity to celebrate everything we cultivated in the 10-day container and ride the oxytocin post-performance afterglow.

 WHAT IS VISIONARY DANCE?   

Visionary dance is the integration of prayer and intention through movement. It is a bridging of realities and consciousness, portraying a wider vision of awareness, hope, healing and transformation. 

It is medicinal movement rooted in the ancient art of storytelling, an experience that is equally compelling for both those participating and witnessing. 

It is this foundation that sets Eclectica's dance offerings apart from traditional 'performances' - We don't offer performances, we offer transmissions, rituals of the soul that bridge the spirit and mind. 

Through weaving psychedelic visual displays, a diverse fusion of dance genres, and raw embodiment- each transmission is a ceremony from start to finish.

One that is always deeply unforgettable, and deeply received - opening our audience's hearts and minds to experience greater possibility and freedom.

Built on the foundations of self-love, sisterhood, and the reclamation of our raw feminine power - Eclectica School of Womb-Craft and Visionary Dance offers a holistic, movement-based, feminine mysteries dance retreat that delves into the roots and foundations of womb-hood and re-wilding.

Participants of this retreat will be guided through various rites of passage initiations that will further anchor them into the depth and power of their truth and expression.

Each module we explore throughout the duration of the course will then be formulated into intention-based movement and choreography that will be performed at our end-of-retreat intimate witnessing ceremony - where participants will have the opportunity to perform the dance piece we learn over the course of the retreat and be received in their reclaimed uninhibited expression. The performance will also be captured in a high-quality video project which participants will be able to hold onto for life to remember what we experienced together. The entire journey is a deeply transformational experience that provides pathways of self-discovery and inner union, through exploring practices that are rooted in ritual, embodied expression, dance, and performance art.

Our philosophy explores the realms of healing and evolution, through various initiations that support, nurture, and hold women and womb-bodied people on their journey of feminine maturity and self-actualisation.

This retreat is a gateway to freedom, remembrance, and personal power. It is a sacred container to support you to return to your truest nature, reclaim your inner gifts, and ignite the fire in your soul - lighting the way on your path of purpose and meaning.

This retreat is open to ALL LEVELS OF DANCE from absolute beginner to those who have had formal training. No prior experience is necessary to participate in this course.
