A Day-long Retreat to nourish and revitalize your mind, body and soul through yoga, nature, sound bathing, ecstatic dance, and more.

Join Lark Gibson of Radiant Spirit Retreats for a relaxing Sunday retreat in the beautiful Wisconsin driftless region, an hour outside of Madison, for a full-day of yoga, breathwork, meditation, authentic connection, sound bathing, and ecstatic dance. Radiant Spirit Retreats will be providing a healthy and delicious GF lunch. There will be plenty of spacious time to wander the beautiful property too.

Lark blends gentle yoga postures with mindful breathwork and relaxing meditation to help participants reconnect with their bodies and cultivate a deeper sense of presence. She thoughtfully incorporates essential oils, intentional music, intuitive guidance, and moments of inspiration into each class, creating a nurturing and meaningful experience.

Come enjoy the programming or the beautiful property for a mini-Saturday getaway. All activities are optional. 

Our intention with this day-long retreat is to deepen our connection with ourselves and connect with others in community with movement and music as our guide.

What is Ecstatic Dance?

Ecstatic dance is a form of sober free-dancing and is an opportunity to move our bodies to the rhythm of the music with no judgements of ourselves or others. The dance can be described as a form of movement meditation, rooted in ceremony and in celebration. Inexperienced and experienced dancers are welcomed and encouraged, there are no wrong dance moves
