Next year's retreat schedule embraces all levels of hoopers. Learn the basics in our Foundations workshop. Deepen your flow in our Explorations workshop. Expand your practice in our Concepts space.

Retreat participants will be invited to join a Foundations or an Explorations workshop for the first three days of the retreat. Read the descriptions below to determine a good place for you to start. Concepts workshops are mixed level hoop spaces where the entire Sacred Circularities retreat community will practice and play together. There will be three Foundations, Explorations, and Concepts workshops taught each week, nine workshops in all! Each participant will have the opportunity to experience the unique teaching style of each co-facilitator!

Foundations This is a great class for folks who are completely new to hooping as well as those who want to brush up and focus on fundamental hoop dance moves like waist-hooping in both directions. traveling with the hoop, and lifts. Includes an introduction to shoulder and leg hooping.

Explorations This workshop is good for students who are well-versed in the basic hoop dance moves listed above (including shoulder and leg hooping) and want to dive deeper into technique, learn new movements that will complement their current skill set, and receive technique-oriented support for their continuing hoop dance practice.

Foundation and Exploration workshops will occur during the same time slot. It is advised that you choose one or the other based on the recommendations above.

Concepts This mixed level of workshop is good for new hoop dancers as well as dancers who are a few years into their practice. Concepts explores the realm of what's possible where you are. It's also an opportunity to open up to the spiritual realms of hoop dance. This is the workshop that will take your ability to dance and flow with the hoop to the next level. See how far you can go with the tools suggested by the workshop co-facilitator!
