About The Retreat
A transformational dance space that expands the boundaries of traditional practices, allowing the whole dancer to be inspired, connected, and healed
We all have intuition. We all dance. The very beat of your heart lives in sync with the rhythm of nature. You have always been dancing.
Dance, as a sacred healing art, naturally raises the human vibration. When we approach practices with full awareness, a deep wisdom connects the body, mind, and soul. The Intuitive Dance Retreat integrates profound, energetic techniques to unblock, release, create & expand consciousness, all with movement as the key! Tapping into our intuition, opening the heart center to all possibilities and allowing the full dancer to be embraced, healed and witnessed…this is our dance!
Those who love to dance, know its healing power. As movers, shakers, dancers, educators, choreographers, and performers – whoever YOU are – we all deeply know LIFE IS DANCE; how we use each moment is significant. This transformational dance retreat guides us to expand beyond all limitations, bringing forth our very own superpower! As we capture moments in flow, we strip ourselves of all that blocks us and we intimately replenish the soul. This ignites a confidence and connection with Self that has more potential and energy than you ever thought possible. From this space, we can move deeper into our healing. Creative abundance, manifestation and psychic living comes from a genuine and sustainable center within. We will tap into this and you will use these gifts forever!
This sacred, somatic and shamanic journey will up-level the vibe of your dancer, within and without. Integrated with intuitive energy workshops, you will deeply reconnect to your spiritual center. Your relationship with dance will be invigorated with wisdom, meaning and grace. As you tap into the foundational intuitive principles, you will be met with an endless supply of abundance and manifestation that becomes your guiding light. You will return home knowing how it felt to experience 100% of your energy. This is your superpower and the soul’s pathway to living your best intuitive life!

Adge Marz Lindsey
Adge Marz Lindsey has an ever-growing love for dance that tends to be contagious! Her intuitive movement practice brings creativity, joy, and profound presence to the mat, the dance studio, and beyond. She is a strong holder of space, coupling the deep wisdom of dance technique with intuitive energy work. The ancient teachings of yoga infiltrate all of her classes, as Adge’s approach relies on growing smart, lifelong, intuitive movers.
Her approach, The Intuitive Dance Method, allows energetic sequencing and authentic movement to guide her technique practices. Training and certification is offered to movement educators, performers, choreographers, and dancers in various modules, as well as in retreat settings. Dance is our intrinsic right and this method is for everyone.
For 20+ years, Adge has traveled, performed in, written, and produced creative projects that cultivate deep community connection and genuine expression. These decades of teaching are supported by many certifications in dance, yoga, physically integrated studies, Reiki I-IV attunements, Intuitive Reader accreditation, and a Master’s degree in special education. From the Colorado mountains, to culturally vibrant Central America destinations, Adge leads dance and yoga teacher trainings, meaningful retreats, and social impact projects. It is her life’s mission to spread light and love through movement.
