PEGASUS - Grounding The Fire - 5Rhythms®
retreat with live music in Romania, near The Black sea.
10th - 13th September 2026
It’s not about running the fastest —
it’s about running the longest.
Pegasus, the mythical winged horse of Greek mythology, is a symbol of freedom, power, and the eternal spring of imagination and creativity. He carried gods and heroes into great victories — not through haste, but through sustained strength and devotion to the journey.
This retreat is an exploration of how to keep our inner fire alive over time.
How to honor the need for movement while respecting the necessity of rest and recovery.
How to move with passion without burning out.
Like the horse who is not afraid of slowness — but of stillness — we will learn how to ground our fire, allowing it to sustain us rather than consume us.
Through the 5Rhythms practice — Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness — supported by live music, we explore:
* How to ground action, courage, identity, and initiation
* How to embody intuition rather than dissolving into dreams
* How vision becomes movement, and imagination becomes form
This is a space where spiritual imagination turns into an active force — where inspiration meets initiative, and inner vision finds expression in the world.
Dreams begin to move into reality
Intuitive insights shift from passive longing into embodied action.
Authenticity is prioritized
Identity, individuality, and self-expression are given space and energy.
Spirituality becomes catalytic
Not just reflective or comforting — but alive, transformative, and forward-moving.
This retreat is an invitation to run with your fire —
steadily, wisely, and for the long journey.
We will be supported and nurtured by the wild, unspoiled Romanian nature.
+++ We will be supported and assisted throughout by Piero with his live drumming and creative use of other instruments to enhance our exploration.

TESTIMONIAL:
“Kat is an incredibly gifted teacher, facilitator and holder for such a journey. She is someone who encourages being real, that every part of ourselves is welcomed and there to be embraced and keep the dance honest with ourselves. Her music and style is powerful to experience deep dances. She teaches how to embrace it all, encourages looking for a way into the movement and keep moving through whatever comes up - because the body naturally knows what to do with it. Feet, feet, feet...yes, yes yes :)
Piero and Kat have such a beautiful complimentary style that brings a depth to the music and energy to the space that can truly be felt from within. It’s a joy to experience and witness how they co-create the space for us to be danced and the light they bring." ~ Linda
