This is my only big in-person retreat this summer—and I want my people in the room.

We’ll dance. We’ll express.
We’ll drop into the sacred heat of our stories.
We’ll write from the soul.
And we’ll REST. Like, for real.

No posturing. No fixing. Just embodiment, truth-telling, and the kind of community that reminds you you’re not broken, you’re becoming.

The Deep Revival: Dance Church & Deep Rest Practice W/ Joy..... A body-led soul revival. Move, sound, and rest your way back to center in this dance church for deep feelers and modern mystics

What Is The Deep Revival?
The world is loud. The world is heavy. And if you’re a deep feeler, an empath, a seeker—you’re likely carrying more than most. The weight of your story, the pressures of life, and the collective grief of a world in transition.

It’s dance church for right now—no dogma, no performance, no pressure. Just movement, breath, sound, and stillness as medicine.

But here’s the truth: Revival isn’t something that happens outside of you. It happens within you.

It happens when you shake off the weight of the world that was never yours to carry. It happens when you breathe deeper than the chaos and remember your own rhythm. It happens when movement becomes a prayer and stillness becomes a homecoming.

This is The Deep Revival.

JourneyDance® W/ Joy..... 

We hold our unexpressed, unprocessed emotions in the body. We carry this for ourselves and others. Let’s join together to breathe and dance, unravel the binds that hold, make amends with our bodies, and move into love, joy, acceptance, and freedom.

Utilizing the experiential magic of JourneyDance™, embodiment practices, slow-flowing movement, yoga poses, breath practices, and creative surrender (Yoga Nidra) we create an environment for inner reflection and self-healing work for our bodies, minds, hearts, and dreams. Each week will be a thematic journey to initiate a sacred shift of perspective that helps us to remember and receive the grace of being alive.

Yoga Nidra

Yoga Nidra, builds upon the relaxed physical and mental state from the preceding Yin postures. Known as Yogic Sleep – Yoga Nidra is a state of consciousness similar to the process of drifting off to sleep. It is a state in which the body is completely relaxed, and the practitioner becomes systematically and increasingly aware of their inner world by following a set of verbal instructions. This state of consciousness is different from meditation in which concentration on a single focus is required.

Gentle Somatic Yoga (Somatic Floor Work + Gentle Yoga + Deep Rest Practice)

Discover the rejuvenating synergy of movement and mindfulness in Gentle Somatic Yoga. This class draws inspiration from embodiment work, meditation, and yin yoga, intertwining flowing floor-based movements with Gentle Yoga principles. Through non-weight-bearing exercises emphasizing sliding, gliding, and circular motions, we nurture inner awareness and a profound connection with your body's innate wisdom. By harmonizing breath and movement, we enhance the respiratory rhythm, embarking on a journey of self-discovery and inner clarity. Guided by breath and awareness, each pose unfolds slowly, allowing adjustments and inner reflection. In this gentle, playful class, we cultivate both physical and mental strength, concluding with deep relaxation and guided meditation. Yoga props enrich our practice, fostering restoration, rejuvenation, and holistic well-being in an inclusive and supportive environment.

***Please note, while open to all, Gentle Somatic Yoga is not intended for acute states of illness or as a specific therapeutic intervention, and those with injuries should seek medical guidance before participating. Pregnant women are warmly welcomed to join this transformative experience.

The Remedy

Our stories are our power. Our stories have shaped us, informed us, and taught us, and for some, these (stories have harmed us…) When we step into our power and claim and own our stories, we RECLAIM our beautiful shining selves, in a good way. As a culture of the “perfectionistic view”, we have become too closed and conditioned to share ourselves freely. Many of us only feel safe to share under special conditions. When we share our stories and find our OWN MEANING, we can heal and connect back into the joy of living, the gratitude for this ONE PRECIOUS LIFE. Joy and Toni bravely create those conditions by being our authentic selves with you. We will share with you our stories, make you laugh and make you cry...sing to you and dance with you. You will do the same, allowing your truths to be revealed. Joy and Toni create a sacred container to process the range of emotions that comes with this intense time. 

We share musical medicine along with writing prompts, expression practices, and sharing circles each session.

During the Remedy each week we will...

• Hold space for you
• DJ a 20-30 minute dance set of expressive music
• Give a writing prompt or suggestion and 10-20 minutes to write
• Hold a sharing circle (in break out rooms)
• Help you create a personal practice of movement, writing, and sharing

What is JourneyDance™?
 

''We are Brave and we are Courageous every time our precious feet touch the dance floor. Our sacred stories of who we are and who we are becoming breathe and expand through each movement. Each dance becomes a living testimony of our divine beauty. We remember who we are. All are welcome here. This is your invitation." -Joy Lynn Okoye

It is well established that dance and movement may influence healing, change our bodies, and affect our emotional well-being.

JourneyDance™ moves us through deep, personal exploration into a loving, intimate relationship with body, mind, and source energy. This sensual and exhilarating union of dance, visualization, and ritual calls us to get funky and divine!

We are carried through an intentional and seamless flow of simple movement sequences and free expression. We are led with exuberance and compassion to a place of authentic communication with our creative spirit, where we discover our hearts’ desires. 

We embody our physical temple. We explore our inner realms. We connect with our inner shaman creator to burn the mind’s clogging clutter and make space for the abundance of joy that is available to us. As we create this powerful ritual together-in community-we liberate old cellular memories, cleanse the body and mind with sweat and breath, and elevate our vibration. 

As a Holistic Health Coach and JourneyDance™ teacher I incorporate HAES principles into all of my work. My purpose on the dance floor is to invite others to listen to their hearts desires and their souls yearnings while letting the movements and MUSIC become the guide into that sacred realm. My number one mission is to spread divine love and light while promoting a culture of self-compassion and BODY LOVE. I believe that the surest path into a healthy lifestyle is through Embracing your story, Embodying your present moment, and Empowering your desires. All are welcome, let's journey together....

A word about ‘Grieving Circles’ and 'Liberation Parties'
(See below about special pricing)

Dance and ritual have long been used to heal from traumatic experiences since ancient times. Sometimes words are not enough, and dance and ritual can be useful to fill this gap. Dance as a healing tool is rooted in the knowledge that body and mind are inseparable. Dance provides a direct experience of shared emotion on a preverbal and physical level, providing feelings of unity, harmony, and empathy.





The JourneyDance™ Grieving Circle Ceremony

We will co-create a supportive ceremony as a place for healing and remembering of the loved one. A customized Grieving Circle incorporates healing music, dance, movement, very little spoken word, and a space for stillness. As the facilitator of the group, I will encourage the group members to listen to the guidance of their own bodies and never push people to engage beyond their own comfort level and physical ability. The experience can be a full session including physical warm-ups (simple breathing and stretching ) and a selection of healing music and movements to take the participants on a journey of release and receiving, or as simple as a few songs to create a memorable moment for the loved one.

**Pricing for Grieving Circles are negotiated per event/Love donation for organization/family will be included. 

Liberation Parties

A Liberation Party is a way to mark the end of the pain and suffering that comes with a divorce or serious break-up and it provides a ritualistic and comforting way to cope with any difficult life transition. In a JourneyDance™ Liberation party you may cry, laugh, yell and scream- whatever you need to do-and finally just let go of whatever needs letting go...and then we celebrate your new beginning with laughter, affirmations, and loving support with your friends and family.


Prices:  JourneyDance™ Celebration and Liberation packages begin at $200 and are between 1.5-3 hours
