At Wildways Retreat Centre

An embodied weekend of movement, breath, voice and connection

Synthesis returns for another year at Wildways — a weekend of deep embodiment, creative expression and heartfelt community.

Rooted in the practices of 5Rhythms, breathwork and vocal improvisation, this immersive retreat invites you into a richer relationship with body, breath, voice, land and self.

For those joining us for the first time, you are warmly welcome exactly as you are. No previous experience is needed — only curiosity and a willingness to listen to your body and inner voice.

For those returning, this is an opportunity to continue deepening the journey — to expand on discoveries from previous years, reconnect with the group energy and explore new layers of expression and integration.

Together we will move, breathe, sound, rest, listen, create and reconnect with what feels most alive and authentic within us.

Synthesis — our invitation to you

At the heart of this weekend is embodiment.

As human beings we are gifted with breath, awareness, movement, sensation and voice — all woven together as part of one living whole. Yet many of us spend much of life disconnected from these deeper currents within ourselves.

Synthesis is an invitation to remember and reconnect.

Throughout the weekend you will be guided through practices that support:

embodied movement and dance
conscious connected breath
vocal improvisation and authentic expression
connection with the natural world
creative ritual and community
Working in harmony with the energy of the Autumn Equinox and the beautiful Wildways land, we will explore balance, integration and presence through direct experience rather than performance or perfection.

This is not about “getting it right.”
It is about becoming more fully yourself.
