Workshops & ReTREATS

I offer workshops, courses, events, and retreats — in person and online — all grounded in somatic practice.

Testimonials

Testimonials

  • Just delicious and absolute magic! Lara holds a very safe, warm, and welcoming space, which invited all that arose - the big and small, the playful and the shy, the powerful and the vulnerable - supporting authentic expression and connection, and to be wild and free to dance and move with all that was evoked/invoked. I can't wait to move and groove at the next one! Wholehearted thanks to you Lara.

    Meera, Ecstatic Dance

  • The whole experience felt like a safe space from start to finish. There was great moments of connection, laughter, profound peace and joy.

    Laura, Ecstatic Dance

  • This was my first ecstatic dance session and I would absolutely come back! I arrived feeling a mix of curiosity, sense of pride and openness, but also anger. I was able to move through my emotions during the dance and ended up feeling waves of happiness and release. thank you :)

    Anonymous, Ecstatic Dance

  • Having the space to begin opening my grief up created a process of deep release when by the river later that night and the next morning. I also felt real joy and connection, and an increasing sense of community. All in all it was probably my deepest dancefloor moments of joy and grief. Thank you!

    Kevin, Ecstatic Dance

  • I really enjoy Lara's Ecstatic Dances. She's great at holding space for it in a way that facilitates working through whatever emotional thing is going on. Lara's version of the Ecstatic Dance is a great way to facilitate these emotions doing their thing without necessarily trying to understand them but fully honouring them. I always feel refreshed (and ready for bed :-P) afterwards.

    Gergely, Ecstatic Dance

  • Lara's workshop felt safe and well thought out and prepared, and Lara was thoughtful and kind. I found the other participants to be open and welcoming and the atmosphere was healing and supportive.

    Catherine, Ecstatic Dance

  • You take more care to create safety and freedom and consent at the start than any dance teacher I know, and to communicate your own availability in case of distress during the dance. I felt safe to go deep into my own process and to feel as deeply as I need to, dancing and stretching and grimacing into peace with a layer of personality that has been resisted and struggled with for the last few years. Thank you Lara, your offerings are a real cherished blessing for my soul and pilgrimage upon the cosmos.

    Kevin, Ecstatic Dance

  • The whole class was just so insightful and beautiful. I'll definitely be back.

    Anonymous, Sound Bath

  • I liked how we were lead into the soundbath with movement and breathwork and lead gently out of it with processing/journalling time. I felt I got more out of the soundbath because of this.

    Lisa, Sound Bath

  • We really enjoyed the sound bath. Lara’s energy, contributions and musicianship were excellent. My partner and I have experienced our own personal hardships lately and were feeling a little under the weather. We may not have shared much, but we enjoyed hearing the contributions made by other participants; we enjoyed sharing the space and the experience with the others. I would return and recommend. Thank you Lara!

    Lewis & Laura

  • Lara is a true inspiration. Very beautiful gifted woman. Immediately makes you feel at ease.
