💃🌙 Ready to feel alive in your body?
This playful, powerful practice blends intention, movement, and the hula hoop to clear and tune your Auric Field( the 6-foot bubble that holds your thoughts beliefs, and vibrations).
When your field is clear, life flows: you attract what lights you up and let go of what holds you back.
Patricia leads:
☀️ Opening Ceremony– Learn about your energy field, set intentions, and draw a card from the Oracle Deck.
💃 Dance & Release ~ Flow with your hoop, release what’s heavy, and call in new energy through movement in Patricia’s Hoop Dance Activation Workshop
🌙 Closing Circle– Share, integrate, and seal the shift. -

Karla Jones
Attending hoop retreats has been one of the most powerful and joyful experiences of my adult life. 💫💖
I feel deeply called to create this retreat and offer the kind of transformative, joy-filled experience that means so much to me.
As the owner of a party business all about fun and celebration, it feels natural to bring that same spirit to a retreat setting.
It’s my dream to share the joy of hooping through a rejuvenating, playful, and truly enchanted retreat in the 💚 of Vermont. 🌲
Let’s gather to spin, laugh, and reconnect — with ourselves and each other
