For students of our upcoming online Level 1 Training who wish to gather in person, join the Flight School Level 1 Kickoff Retreat — a weekend of sisterhood, ecstatic dance, sound healing, and embodied learning with Mariposa Movement at the

• Meet face-to-face and begin weaving the foundation of our community
• Dance and move — releasing, awakening, and reconnecting with the body
• Experience the first layer of Mariposa Movement teachings through embodied practice
• Gather in cacao ceremony to open the heart and set our intentions
• Integrate with sound healing, rest, and sacred circle
• Enjoy organic, locally sourced plant-based meals
• Root into sisterhood, shared purpose, and the renewal of spring
