These two back-to-back Dance retreats in Troncones MX (near Zihautanejo) allow participants to deepen in their Dance practice, enjoy the small beach town and its variety of restaurants, shops and lodgings, and spend time with a variety of English and Spanish speaking beloveds from all over North and South America (and perhaps beyond!)
The first retreat includes a Dance-leader-training component, with instruction provided in English and in Spanish, led by senior mentor Darvesha MacDonald; and the second is a Deepening retreat, mostly in English, but with translations, facilitated by Sky Roshay, Shivadam Burke and Jen Friedman.
Airfare and accommodations are your responsibility, but we will help as much as we can, including information on restaurants, money exchange and travel, once you are registered.
You can find more information on registration, Troncones and the retreats below. You can find out more about lodging options and possibly reserve lodging here: https://mysticdance.com/troncones-lodging-2025/
Make sure your passport is current! Pack warm weather clothes (it can be hot there in the winter.) Join us at the beach! A group of us will probably caravan (by air) from Zihau to Cancun for the Puerto Morelos Camp the following week; ask Wayne (registrar) for details.
