CHAKRADANCE WEEKEND RETREAT: 26th - 28th SEPTEMBER 2025
Following successful collaborations with Siamsa Tíre Tralee Chakradance will be returning to the Rehearsal Room in Siamsa Tíre for a weekend retreat of Chakradance in September 2025.
This course is for you if you want an opportunity to explore your inner world through movement, music, and mandalas in a safe and sacred space. Using the chakras as our roadmap, we will gently dive into different aspects of ourselves to uncover and release what no longer serves us and to reconnect to our authentic selves.
Whether you want to move to great music in a safe environment, or do some deep inner work, Chakradance will allow you a safe and sacred environment to do just that.
If you don't have time to commit to 10 weeks and would like to experience the benefits of a full Chakradance course, including integration, over one weekend, then this is for you.
- Friday 26th September: 7 pm - 8:30pm
- Saturday 27th September: 10am - 7pm
- Sunday 28th September: 10am - 6pm
There will be time for reflection and comfort breaks throughout the weekend as well as breaks for lunch on Saturday & Sunday. A full schedule will be available on booking.
THE VENUE
Siamsa Tíre Tralee is the National Folk Theatre of Ireland. 'Siamsa Tíre' means ‘mirth and music of the land’, an acknowledgment of the fact that our folk traditions originate from a rural way of life. This cultural centre in Tralee has grown from the grassroots of rural Kerry communities to become a gathering place for all. Siamsa Tíre is considered the contemporary incarnation of the warm homes of the past where people came together on long dark winter’s evenings to share their stories, to pass on their customs and skills, to open themselves up to new ideas, and to strengthen their sense of family and community. The Rehearsal Room is an ideal venue for Chakradance and adds it's own special 'draíocht' or 'magical enchantment' to the retreat.
You can book your place using the RETREAT 2025 button on this page.

A POWERFUL MOVEMENT THERAPY PRACTICE FOR HEALING
Chakradance™ is a wellness movement therapy practice. It uses spontaneous dance, to specific chakra-resonant music, for the purpose of healing and re-tuning your whole mind-body-spirit energy system.
At the heart of Chakradance is the music. For all of us, the seven major chakras are the energetic gateways through which body, mind and spirit come together, literally embodying the soul.

RHYTHM FOR YOUR SOUL
In Chakradance workshops and courses in Kerry, each of these seven chakras has its own unique body of wonderfully danceable music, resonating to its own specific vibrational frequencies.
On one level, Chakradance can be experienced as a joyful affirmation of who you truly are. Using spontaneous dance, creativity and your imagination, it can lead to an awakening, a discovery of your true self. But at a deeper level, Chakradance is also about healing and balance. By surrendering to the music of each chakra, we dance from the inside out and find ourselves awakening and healing ancient hurts; expressing – often for the first time – long-blocked emotions; and opening ourselves up to levels of spiritual connection higher than we ever thought possible. This is what we mean when we describe Chakradance™ as “rhythm for your soul”.
A JOURNEY OF SELF DISCOVERY
Think of Chakradance as a dynamic moving meditation. There is no right or wrong way to move your body. It’s a journey of self-discovery. Each chakra is explored through specific music, guided imagery and your own free, improvised dance, done in a candle-lit space with your eyes softly closed. This begins to activate inner experiences.
It’s almost like entering into a waking dream. You may see images in your mind’s eye while you are dancing or gain insights. You may also experience feelings, emotions or physical sensations.
But rather than think about it, we invite you to experience and feel it.
