🌟 Wow! As luck has it you didn’t miss out, the universe gave you a second chance. So sign up before these spots go too!

😲As week 1 Sold out in 24 hours, we decided to stay in Mexico for a second week! We’re as excited as you are, so come join the party! (it’s gonna be a good one)

Why do we love retreats so much? Honestly, it’s the best antidote to burnout for aerialists! Burnout isn’t just a buzzword – it’s a tangible reality for so many…even those of us who may live and work in a creative workspace. Does any of this sound like you?

🔴So busy with other life commitments (job, kids, etc…) that you feel like you’re not getting enough aerial time

🔴Tons of fun aerial goals you want to tackle, but the saved videos just keep piling up on instagram and you haven’t made a dent

🔴You carve out that aerial time, but are just so darn exhausted, physically or mentally

🔴 Love sharing aerials, so you teach, but find yourself giving more than you receive

🔴Pouring from an empty cup…

Sure, there’s a lot of ways we can manage stress and handle burnout in our day to day life, but there’s just nothing like a good old fashioned reset. That’s why we’re all about aerial retreats – the ultimate reset button.

🌈 Join us and refill your cup by committing to YOU! 🌈

🎓✨ The joy of learning! Check out these awesome aerialists who all got together this month in Regina, Canada for our in-person Level 1 Silks Teacher Training.

There’s something special about deep focus - carving out a week of your life to dive into the learning process. These aerialists worked hard, shared stories, spotted each other, and had meaningful conversations about technique and inclusivity.

I don’t know who needs to hear this right now, but this is your invitation to get weird with your art

Take that risk. Experiment with new approaches, new mediums, new styles.

You know that weird idea that popped into your head when you were falling asleep last night? Yes, that one. Try it! Guess what, even if it “doesn’t work” I bet you’ll learn something.

If you’re open to it, I bet it will lead somewhere...maybe even somewhere unexpected and bizarre.

Circus is the artform for the outcasts, the weirdos, the folks on the fringe. Contemporary circus invites us to explore with other mediums and expand the definition of circus.

Aerialists, I’m talking to you. Your apparatus....that’s object theatre right there. How can you push the boundaries of what we consider aerial arts?

I can’t wait to see what you do...

🌸About the Show:
Touching Two Worlds
A love letter in motion.

The show is created by two performers who lost brothers to suicide, and is an exploration of the mind, body, and soul through artistic movement. With meaningful psychological insights, it casts a spotlight on mental well-being in a way you’ve never seen before.

Touching Two Worlds is not only a show though. The Friday evening performance has been approved by the Minnesota board of psychology, Minnesota Board of Social Work and the Board of Behavioral Science as a continuing education event for licensed mental health professionals. This performance will feature an expert panel discussion on the role of creative movement in mental health care.
