THE SPIRAL INSTITUTE
It IS Time to awaken!
Let us nurture the wisdom of our bodies together.
Connecting with deep surrender.
Remembering the exuberant animal within.
Relaxed and spontaneously alive!
We will explore movement, touch, dance, play, expression and connection together, leading up to an epic New Years Eve live celebration!
WHAT DO WE STAND FOR?
We Stand For
Embodied Wisdom
We tune into the wisdom held within our bodies, to hear the universe speaking to us and through us.
We Stand For
Embodied Connection
We meet together to touch, dance, cuddle and play with each other.
We delight in skin to skin communication.
We Stand For
Embodied Power
We cultivate deep attunement to the body, our living instrument, to nurture deep presence, grounded aliveness, and conscious power.
Why Should you go?
We can hear you rising up from your lockdown slumber.
Hungry to move, to play, to delight in being together again.
We will connect with our bodies, hearts and souls. Tuning in, to hear the universe speaking to us, and through us. Feeling the current of life that flows in all of us.
Face to face. Skin to skin. Side by side. Feeling the deep expansion that reveals itself in communal journeys.
Grounding into our power, our joy and our authenticity.
Nourishing one another with the depth of our presence.
Drinking deeply from the well of the mysterious.
The spirit is emerging. Will you come for the ride?
That sounds awesome, but what will we actually do there?

Who it’s for
This event is for those of us who want a nurturing, enlivening adventure, to get into our bodies through movement and touch, to come together for a meaningful New Years celebration, and to activate a crisp, alive and embodied culture.
It’s not for people who want to get really wasted over new years.
Every meal is an opportunity to return to presence,
To delight in the deliciousness of being alive,
To share a passing moment with a new friend.
Meat (local roo), vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options available.
GOT Questions?
Where is Emergence being held?
In a gorgeous private venue on the edge of the forest, 1 hour west of Mullumbimby. We will announce the location to ticket-holders a few days before the event begins.
What level of experience do I need?
This event is going to serve anyone who is grounded, comfortable in their body and willing to make some physical contact with others. You don't need any technical skills or knowledge to receive an incredible experience.
What are the accommodation and facilities like?
Emergence will be held in a beautiful campsite, featuring fire circle, event spaces, hot showers and toilets provided. There are a range of accommodation options, ranging from tents to cottages. More info on the following page.
We'll also have some magical spaces to discover at the event... The Puddle (A soft, tactile space for cuddling), The Hammock Village, and More...
Is food included?
Emergence is fully catered, so you can sit back and relax! Breakfast, lunch, dinner and some simple snacks will be provided by our loving cooking crew. The food will be nourishing, locally-sourced, organic and fully ethical wholefoods, made with deep intention and loving care. BYO cutlery and crockery.
Is the event kid friendly?
This event is for people aged 18+. We would love to include childminding next time. If you know how to organise childcare for an event like this and would like to help, we would greatly appreciate a chat! Please send an email to info@theembodiedmovement.com.
Who should I bring?
We ask that you only invite people who you feel have the maturity to attend an embodied movement event. Basically, just the people who you'd personally love to camp and dance with for a few days in nature.
Will tickets be sold at the gate?
There will be no tickets sold at the gate. You MUST arrange your ticket prior to arrival. This is so that we can prepare enough food and space for everyone who attends.
Please don't make us turn you away by showing up without a ticket.
Everyone will receive a wristband upon entry to the festival.
Will I feel safe during the workshops?
The workshops will be delivered by trained, experienced facilitators. No cowboy gurus here. We're very intentional about how we hold our spaces, to ensure the safety of everyone involved.
We have our trusted, qualified and experienced emotional support crew available if you need any support through out the festival.
Will it be worth it?
Well, that depends... Do you want your body to become the antenna that vibrates radiant wisdom within you? The rhythm of your heartbeat. The melody of your breath. The orchestra of living liquid pulsating through your body with every beat of your heart. If that sounds like a good time to you, then yes! It will be worth it.
