  2-PART REGISTRATION  

The XD Retreat is not a mass attending festival though it will be just as fun and ecstatic! It is a more intimate gathering and a private event open to our dance community with a limited capacity. We are running this private gathering from our home and, for these reasons, we want to know who you are. We therefore have a 2-part registration process.

Click here to fill out the Initial Registration to start this process:

Upon being selected for a date, we will send you a confirmation email with the final registration. We’re looking forward to creating magic with you in our home and on the land.

  THINGS TO NOTE  

* We are dancing outside on the grass … sunshine or rain.
* Please leave all pets at home.
* Like our Thursday Dances, this is a drug & alcohol free event. Music, dance and connection is our ecstatic portal.
* Your musical instruments are welcome.

We look forward to going on this very special journey with you.

Much Love,

Julia & Ian
