Welcome to The JOY of AbunDANCE.
This is not just a weekend away. It’s a homecoming.
Megha and I created this retreat as a love letter to joy, movement, and the women we know are ready for more. More aliveness. More embodiment. More trust in their own magic. The JOY of AbunDANCE is a sacred and slightly sassy, high-vibe, heart-opening, body-moving weekend designed to wake up your joy, soften your edges, and help you remember who you are when you feel truly alive.
I am deeply honored to co-lead this experience with Megha Nancy Buttenheim, legacy Kripalu faculty, founder of Let Your Yoga Dance®, and a true Chief JOY Officer in every sense of the word. Megha has spent over 30 years guiding women back home to themselves through movement, music, chakras, and joy. Her presence is grounding and electric all at once. One song with her can shift everything.
I bring my own journey into this space through Camp Atta Girl! and the AbunDANCE Path, weaving manifestation, somatic energy healing, and playful ritual into practices that help you release what’s been weighing you down and call in what your soul has been quietly asking for. Together, Megha and I create a container where movement meets magic, science meets soul, and joy becomes something you don’t just feel, but embody.
Our time together begins with intention. We explore how joy itself is a form of leadership and how moving your body can help you become the change you wish to see in your life and in the world. Let Your Yoga Dance® becomes our roadmap, helping you ground into your body while also soaring into possibility. We blend movement, the latest research on joy and abundance, journaling, reflection, and the kind of group wisdom that only emerges when women gather with open hearts.
This retreat is about community as much as it is about personal transformation. You’ll be seen. You’ll be supported. You’ll laugh, move, maybe cry a little, and feel that beautiful moment when you realize you are not alone on this path.
During this weekend, you will:
-
Move with intention and dance joy into every cell of your body
-
Experience abundant joy in real, science-backed ways through dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins
-
Reconnect with your inner wisdom, outer sparkle, and deep feminine power
-
Feel the strength and magic of a like-hearted community walking beside you
-
Step into abundance not as a concept, but as a full-bodied YES
Whether you’re craving more joy, clarity, freedom, creativity, confidence, or trust in yourself, this weekend is an invitation to manifest through movement and celebration. You won’t just feel joyful in the moment. You’ll leave with practices that help you carry that joy into your everyday life, long after the music fades.
This isn’t just a retreat.
It’s a soul revival.
It’s a remembering.
It’s The JOY of AbunDANCE.
And we would absolutely love to dance with you.
