The Dreaming Body Dance Ritual
In these Dance Rituals we will be dancing with our dreaming body, listening to the messages of our higher self and discovering more of our souls' journey.
You will be invited into the dream weave, where we have the opportunity to heal old traumas and re-member ourselves. In the dream weave we can create change and transformation, supporting us in manifesting our souls' desires.
In these rituals we take a journey through the Wheel, discovering more of who we are beyond the stories we have learned to live by; reaching out to our soul self, listening to our body wisdom to find our next steps forwards.
The Dreaming Body
The dreaming body is shaped like a luminous egg which covers our abdomen. From its centre, just above the navel, hundreds of tiny golden threads of energy spread out into the universe in every direction. Through these filaments of light, we reach into the world, bringing back valuable information that allows us to understand and “feel out” the world around us. And through these filament of light, we manifest our souls yearnings and affect the world dream.
The dreaming body is closely linked to our internal organs, our gut health and the Vagus nerve.
Discovering the Wheel
By travelling the Wheel we may effect positive change through all aspects of ourselves and our lives.Each direction is a gateway into a part of us. On each retreat day we will visit a direction on the wheel as a focus to our ritual.

October 18th: Self Concept and the Ancestors
In the Southeast we find our self -concept and the ancestors. Here we may discover more of our true selves, beyond the personalities we’ve learned to live by; the deeper, ever present you. Here the ancestors gift us with their guidance and support.
December 6th: the Dream
In the Southwest we journey into the dream weave where we may discover more of our soul’s desire, finding purpose and fulfilment in our everyday lives. What makes your heart sing? What piece of the world puzzle are you here to contribute?
February 7th 2026: Karma
In the Northwest, the place of Karma, we meet ourselves on our life path. Are we going in the right direction? Is there Karma that may be released at this time?
Here we may transform old habits into active ways forwards, moving out of Karmic cycles and patterns, into a life of Dharma.
March 28th 2026: Design of Energy
In the Northeast we step into Design of Energy. This is the place of our inner choreographer. How are you designing yourself, your life? Is it in beauty? How does it flex with the changes you are moving through?
May 16th and 17th 2026
Weekend Retreat: The East/West Magical Axis
this weekend is non residential... prices to follow.
East
In the east we meet our magical child; this is where we bring in our energy; our fire for life, which is held in our first chakra and informs and nourishes our whole body fuelling our lives. How do we embrace our magical selves and bring our magic to the everyday?
West
In the west, we receive the inspiration from the east. Here we meet our magical adult, developing our intuition, knowing what direction to take. Listening to our body knowing takes us out of our minds and any fixed course of action into all possibility.
further Workshops in 2026 dates tbc.
South
In the South we meet our everyday child and trust and innocence. She/he who looks in wonder and awe at the beauty of the world. This is the realm of the Goddess and the plants. In balance the goddess and the child dance together in the dream.
North
In the North we find our everyday adult, the one who makes life work. Here we meet the god of the land holding the heart light and the connection with the animals and their gifts of love. Here we find abundance in every day.

“Thank you for a profoundly moving and deeply useful and nurturing day. You held the day so beautifully, gently and firmly to give a real sense of safety and containment.
I really enjoyed your gentle and calm manner and the encouragement to rest when needed. For me the whole day led beautifully into honing our intention for and then dancing our personal ritual in the afternoon.
For me the age range added richness. It was particularly relevant for me to connect with my everyday adult self at this point. I am in the throes of a significant life review as I move towards eldership in my life. I need to find and re-find my deeply grounded mature adult self in order to take my next steps. The day really helped me with that. Thank you again.” Louise, August 2025

"I can’t recommend Jacqueline enough to all future ladies participating on the Dreaming Body Dance Retreat. The vibration was amazing and it allowed me to concentrate throughout the whole session and soak up every single second. You are such an Important teacher keeping us calm and taking away all our stresses. You bring calm yet fun and exciting energy to us all. She didn’t realise I was recovering from Depression, and she made me feel a million dollars with her words."
Thank you so much, Sarah 🙏

Jacqueline is good at creating a beautiful, safe, shared space where we could all speak and find our truth.I was able to shift my energy through the experience and found the inner support to deal with some worrying health issues that had previously overwhelmed me. This change was immediate, tangible and lasting. The experience was gentle and respectful, but powerful." Amy

"I am sending you much appreciation and gratitude for this beautiful experience. Your gentle, loving support as you introduced a pathway for me to enter into my imagination and into the deep corners of my own "Inner Room" was hugely beneficial to me.
The words which best describe my experience are Freedom and Clarity. The experience was profound. The amazing music and the freedom to move my body to my own beat, all in a beautiful, sacred space was magical!" Linda, April 2025
