The Spiral of Liberation at Omega Institute with Amber Ryan & Parashakti Skye
The Experience
Join Parashakti Skye, founder of Dance of Liberation®, and Amber Ryan, founder of The 360 Emergence, for a powerful week of embodiment, movement, authentic connection, ceremony, self-discovery and transformation.
Together, Parashakti and Amber weave a transformational journey where movement becomes medicine, presence becomes practice and personal awakening becomes a pathway to meaningful contribution. Through embodiment, relational exploration, ceremony, self-reflection and experiential learning, participants are invited not only to reconnect with their deepest truth, but to discover how that truth can be expressed in service to their relationships, communities, leadership and life’s greater calling.
This is more than a retreat. It is an invitation to bring the wisdom gained on the dance floor into everyday life—into how we love, lead, create, communicate, serve & participate in the world around us.
Parashakti Skye brings nearly three decades of experience facilitating transformational movement, embodiment, ceremony and conscious community through Dance of Liberation®. Her work invites participants into a direct experience of freedom, authenticity, creativity and embodied wisdom through the intelligence of the body.
Amber Ryan brings the teachings of The 360 Emergence, offering pathways into relational intelligence, embodied leadership, conscious communication, emotional awareness & living in alignment with one’s deepest values. Through experiential practices, participants are supported in cultivating greater presence, clarity, connection and meaningful action.
Together they create a living laboratory for transformation, one that honors both the wisdom of the body & the intelligence of the heart.
