IS THIS YOU?
You’re a creative, driven, and compassionate woman who strives to be a force of love in the world. But lately:
-
You feel heavy, burnt out, and disconnected from yourself.
-
You’re grieving the state of the world and managing emotional or physical exhaustion.
-
Your energy is running dry, leaving you feeling like an instrument out of tune.
SOUND FAMILIAR?
-
You’re a natural giver, but it’s costing your well-being.
-
Dance is your medicine, but life’s demands keep pulling you away.
-
You long for flow, creativity, and connection with your body and nature.
YOU'RE READY TO:
✨ Refill your cup.
✨ Reclaim your vitality.
✨ Realign with your essence.
IF ANY OF THIS RESONATES...
Hi! I'm Aliza Rivka
Dance Therapist & DJ
And I've been where you've been. I know what it's like to do "all the right things" and still find yourself inside a life that doesn't fit. I know what it's like to wake up and say: "hey, there's more for me than this." I know what it's like to burnout and non-negotiably neeeeed more nature.
​
7 years ago, while living near NYC, I got slammed with intense, mysterious autoimmune symptoms. This was my wake up call. Doctors didn't know what to do with me, so I went deeper than the accepted medical paradigm and asked my body directly: "What do you want?"
​
What I heard/saw were the keys to my own healing: visions of ocean, sun and long stretches of green jungle canopy. Within 6 months, everything was rearranging itself, and I was moving my entire life to Costa Rica.
​
Since then, my autoimmune symptoms have dissipated and I've adapted my skills as a Board Certified Dance/Movement Therapist to guide women like you to transform their lives.
​
I know firsthand what it’s like to feel burnt out, boxed in and stuck in a lifestyle that doesn't feel good. And I know that it’s possible to make the brave and bold changes your soul is calling for—because if I did it, so can you.
At the Mariposa Movement HARMONIZE retreat, you'll be supported to get back into alignment with the organic rhythms of your body and the natural world, so that you can spread your wings & shine your light in this wild world.
"This magic that happens when dancing with Aliza… I let go of my mind and I’m just fully in my body. I saw myself as the woman that I’ve been trying to see for the last couple of years. That was so so powerful."
Katie Edwards, Student & Client (UK)
IMAGINE THIS...
-
Starting your day with dance in a serene jungle studio.
-
Floating in the pool or hot tub with ocean views and a cascading waterfall.
-
Savoring organic, locally-sourced meals crafted by a private chef.
-
Immersing yourself in nature’s elements: pristine rivers, the ocean, and lush greenery.
-
Purifying and resetting through intentional ceremonies, including cacao and also a traditional Temazcal sweat lodge ceremony.
-
Sound baths, live music, and transformative workshops.
This is more than a retreat—it’s a reunion with yourself.
YOU ARE WORTHY OF JOY, BEAUTY & REST.
Mainstream culture demands constant productivity.
But you have the power to step off that hamster wheel.
RECONNECT TO YOUR BODY | DANCE FREELY | RECHARGE YOUR SPIRIT
Because when you’re in tune with yourself, the world feels your magic.
ARE YOU READY TO RESTORE YOUR RADIANCE?
"Aliza's program is clearly driven by a force of nature and the universe for us to heal and evolve. Every loving detail was received and appreciated. She's a conduit of a collective wisdom that is here for times as such as this. Honoring the earth with reverence was an important thing for me to witness. The way she co-creates is proof that we got this! I wouldn't change one thing on the schedule."
Mayra McCullough, founder of Mayra Holifit
