EMBRACE: a 4-Day Retreat by DMT
Dance Meets Tantra's first four-day retreat in Northern California!
Thu May 22, 2025 - Sun May 25, 2025
at the idyllic dance venue SkyTemple in Lake County, CA
Beyond our own individual healing & evolution, this is an opportunity to experience the beauty of group soul. Where strong agreements and cocreated containment allow our defenses to drop & our hearts to open. Where synchronicity & beauty illuminate the inherent interconnection that is often hiding right out of sight.
What’s Included:
• 5Rhythms dance waves led by certified teacher Sunshine Sole
• Transformational rituals, temple arts, and shadow-play
• Conscious breathwork and meditation practices
• Trauma-informed facilitation with a focus on consent and attunement
• A vibrant community of like-hearted individuals
• Delicious, nourishing meals and a mix of cozy indoor accommodations and beautiful camping options
A Deeply Nourishing, Connected & Alive Celebration Of Life
This retreat is designed to:
• Create a safer space to explore the full spectrum of your being—light and shadow, body and spirit.
• Foster deep connection through embodied movement, relational practices, and rituals.
• Expand your capacity for joy, self-expression, and authentic connection.
You'll journey through the map of 5Rhythms—flowing, staccato, chaos, lyrical, and stillness—each rhythm unlocking a new layer of your body’s wisdom. Together, we’ll explore practices to deepen self-awareness, liberate energy, and tap into your unique creative expression.

Meet Your Facilitators
-:-: • Sunshine Sole • :-:-
I wondered from an early age what the meaning of life was and what my true vocation was, all together with a massive dose of shyness, a sense of inadequacy and a great desire to learn to express myself in my authenticity and truth.
This led me to a path of self-discovery through different forms of art and healing practices, starting from painting and sculpture at the School of Art I then attended the Academy of Dramatic Art and the National Academy of Dance in Rome, exploring different forms of dance, meditation and yoga until I came into contact with 5Rhythms dance, of which today I am a certified teacher.
I graduated in Psychology and I dedicated myself to the study of Tantra and to understanding the role of sexual energy in our lives.
Today I love to integrate the practice of 5Rhythms with the free expression of the natural flow of life energy (Eros), reminding that this is a sacred tool for the individual to express its deepest and most authentic essence, and to connect more to the qualities of playfulness, pleasure and joie de vivre.

A Note on "Tantra"
For us - Tantra is the practice and art of being fully alive. Our intention with Dance Meets Tantra is to support people in coming into greater love, respect and relationship with themselves, each other, and the Earth. We believe that dance, Eros and tantra are fundamental aspects of being alive, empowered, and creative - so we invite various explorations in support of liberating our creativity and life force.
