Ecstatic Driftless - One-Day Retreat

Join us for a relaxing Saturday retreat in the beautiful Wisconsin driftless region, an hour outside of Madison, for a day of yoga, meditation, authentic connection and ecstatic dance with a short sound bath to close out the dance. Ecstatic Driftless will be hosted and led by Lark & Justin Gibson from Radiant Spirit Retreats in collaboration with Marc & Ash Wild. Radiant Spirit Retreats will be providing a healthy home-cooked lunch and there will be plenty of spacious time to wander the beautiful property. 

Lark blends gentle yoga postures with mindful breathwork to help participants reconnect with their bodies and cultivate a deeper sense of presence. She thoughtfully incorporates essential oils, intentional music, intuitive guidance, and moments of inspiration into each class, creating a nurturing and meaningful experience.

Come enjoy the programming or come enjoy the beautiful property for a Saturday getaway. All activities are optional. 

Our intention with this day-long retreat is to deepen our connection with ourselves and connect with others in community with movement and music as our guide.

Ecstatic dance is a form of sober free-dancing and is an opportunity to move our bodies to the rhythm of the music with no judgements of ourselves or others. The dance can be described as a form of movement meditation, rooted in ceremony and in celebration. 

Inexperienced and experienced dancers are welcomed and encouraged, there are no wrong dance moves 😁
