A five-day embodied dance retreat in The Hague

19–23 October 2026
CLOUD/Danslab, The Hague
With Jérôme Meyer

Move beyond form and reconnect with your flow through dance, breathwork, creativity, somatic exploration and connection.

For five days, you are invited into a living movement practice where the body can breathe, listen, play, release and remember its own intelligence.

This is not a performance-driven intensive.
It is not a generic wellness escape.

It is an intimate, immersive retreat for dancers, movers, yoga practitioners and conscious seekers who are genuinely open to embodied exploration. A place to feel invigorated, reset and inspired. A place to encounter movement not as something to perfect, but as a language of sensation, feeling and transformation.

You can join the complete five-day immersion or participate with individual daily tickets, depending on your availability and what you wish to explore.

The Flow Fusion approach

At the heart of the retreat is Flow Fusion, Jérôme Meyer’s approach to movement, energy and embodied awareness.

Flow Fusion begins with guided improvisation and extends into breath awareness, somatic listening, relational contact, creativity and contemplative presence. It creates a framework in which meditation, the movement of energy and dance are experienced as a continuous practice.

Jérôme’s approach is founded on the belief that our energy needs to circulate freely through the whole body. When energy is no longer held in repetitive patterns of tension or control, greater physical, emotional and creative possibilities can emerge.

The practice brings together four interconnected skills:

1. Meditation
   Developing awareness, presence and the capacity to listen without immediately reacting.
2. Breathwork
   Using breath to support vitality, rhythm, release and connection.
3. Visualisation
   Engaging imagination as a physical and creative resource.
4. Dance
   Allowing energy, sensation and intention to become embodied movement.

Together, these practices create conditions for movement to become more fluid, responsive and alive.

Across the five days, you will explore:

• Flow Fusion
• SOMA Breath
• Shake practices
• Flow Contact
• Contact Improvisation
• Somatic movement research
• Intentionality work
• Solo exploration
• Duet exploration
• Meditation and integration
• Voice and gibberish
• Play, curiosity and creative risk
• Optional cold-water sea dips
• An optional internal sharing

All practices take place in a supportive and carefully held environment, with space to participate according to your own needs, boundaries and physical capacity.

Who is this retreat for?

This retreat is for dancers and movers seeking the flow beyond the form.

It is for those who want to feel invigorated, inspired and reconnected to their creative energy. It also welcomes yoga practitioners and conscious seekers who are open to dance, improvisation, embodied research and genuine human connection.

You do not need to arrive with a particular movement vocabulary. What matters is your willingness to listen, explore and meet the unknown with curiosity.

The retreat may be especially meaningful if you are looking for:

• More freedom and fluidity in your movement
• A deeper connection to your body and breath
• Renewed energy and creative inspiration
• Greater trust in your physical intuition
• More sensitivity in relation to others
• A space to explore without performance pressure
• A balance between intensity, play, softness and rest
• A warm artistic environment where transformation can emerge

Programme

Day 1: Arriving in the body

• Flow Fusion movement practice
• SOMA Breath
• Flow Contact and somatic improvisation
• Meditation

The first day introduces the foundations of the retreat. We arrive in the body, awaken the breath and begin listening to movement without forcing a result.

Day 2: Energy, play and release

• Flow Fusion
• Shake practice
• SOMA Breath
• Flow Contact playground
• Improvisation
• Meditation
• Optional cold-water sea dip

We explore energy, vibration, spontaneity and play. Movement becomes a way to release habitual tension and create space for new responses.

Day 3: Togetherness

• Flow Fusion
• SOMA Breath
• Togetherness focus
• Somatic connection
• Relational and experimental work
• Time for integration

Attention moves toward connection. How can we remain aware of ourselves while meeting another person? How can listening become physical?

Day 4: Intention and duet exploration

• Optional cold-water sea dip
• Flow Fusion
• SOMA Breath
• Meditation
• Intentionality work
• Duet somatic exploration

We investigate how intention shapes movement, expression and relationship. Duet practices invite us to listen, respond and make choices without losing softness.

Day 5: Integration and emergence

• Optional cold-water sea dip
• Flow Fusion
• SOMA Breath
• Meditation
• Duet and solo somatic exploration
• Optional internal sharing

The final day brings the different layers of the retreat together. Participants can integrate their discoveries through solo and duet exploration, followed by an optional informal sharing within the group.

Throughout the retreat, there will also be time for integration, conversation, tea and cake.
