The Spiral of Liberation

Imagine five days of unraveling—not in chaos, but in the gentle, purposeful way a spiral opens. The Spiral of Liberation is an immersive healing workshop designed for those ready to move beyond the stories that have held them in place. Led by Amber Ryan and Parashakti Skye, this in-person retreat at Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY weaves embodied movement, somatic awareness, and shamanic ceremony into a transformative journey toward wholeness and renewal.

This is not a workshop about transcendence or escape. It's about meeting yourself—body, heart, and spirit—exactly where you are, and from that honest ground, choosing a new way forward. Through sound journeys, guided movement sequences, and ceremonial practice, you'll explore the restrictive patterns that have shaped your choices and your sense of self. With the natural beauty of Omega's grounds as your sanctuary and the skilled facilitation of two visionary teachers, you'll spend five days rewiring your nervous system, reconnecting with your body's innate wisdom, and practicing what it feels like to inhabit a life of your own choosing.

Whether you're a dancer, a complete beginner, or anywhere in between—this work is for you. No prior experience with movement is required; only openness and a willingness to trust your own unfolding.

What to Expect

Over five days, you'll move through an arc of release and reclamation. Each day blends sound journeys that attune your nervous system, embodied movement sequences that help you process and discharge old patterns stored in the body, and shamanic rituals designed to mark transitions and honor what you're releasing. Time in nature offers grounding and reflection, while integration practices help you metabolize insights and anchor new ways of being into your daily life.

Amber Ryan and Parashakti Skye create a held, non-judgmental container where your body is a teacher and your voice (literal and metaphorical) matters. You'll leave this retreat with:
- A deeper relationship with your body as a source of wisdom and healing
- Practical tools for releasing restrictive narratives and embodying new possibilities
- A felt sense of your own wholeness, beneath conditioning and old stories
- Community with others walking a conscious path
