Two-Day Personalized Retreats
Personalized retreats are designed to assist you through life changes and transitions—significant times of personal and spiritual growth. If you’d like a deep dive with Julie over a shorter period of time, she is offering two-day or longer sessions (four hours/day) combining multiple resources and methods in which she is practiced. This is a time of deep listening to the wisdom you possess and the guidance your soul provides. Julie is here to facilitate, to walk with you and bear witness. Day One begins with a BodyTalk session, then three hours of coaching and practices to initiate awareness and movement (clearing what’s “stuck”). Day Two includes more practices and coaching to anchor in the new awareness and determine your next steps and will end with qi gong—a highly calming, relaxing, restorative session .
Personalized retreats will be designed with your unique priorities in mind. You will leave with some simple, effective ways to stay centered in your body and being, work with your thoughts and practice tuning in to your inner guidance going forward. Time to rest, reflect and just be in nature to integrate your experience is highly recommended. Durango is a wonderful place to support you during your personal retreat with our beautiful mountains, rivers, lakes and hot springs and an abundance of excellent massage and healing arts practitioners. Please contact Julie for more information.

Julie’s particular practice is Soul Motion® —a conscious dance practice where we experience being in our bodies, in the moment and bringing conscious awareness to our inner state of being-- what is arising and moving in us, through us and between us and others. Practicing this in dance enables us to move through our lives with more awareness, presence and a sense of being fully alive. To learn more about Soul Motion® click here.
Coming in 2024-25: Weekend and week-long group retreats in U.S. and abroad
“A trusted friend and adviser, a professional in psychotherapy and counseling, firmly insisted that I visit Julie Gentry for BodyTalk™. Right then, my life was changing abruptly in the realms of work, relationship and education. A bit shaken, I was free to move in any number of directions and hoped for guidance. Julie’s office felt positive, inviting, clean, and professional. It had a subtle, soothing scent. Her greeting held joyful openness, and she was in no way hurried. The session exceeded my expectations. Julie was receptive to my own body’s messages and able to translate what my body had to tell. Deep insights came clear about people who I would be able to trust. She provided direction regarding my career path, correctly intuiting that all would be well with a new opportunity in spite of apparent obstacles, and she helped me to release worries about postponing educational goals for a short while until the energy would be available to be creative and make progress. Julie gave me important detailed recommendations and provided clarity that was remarkable. This modality worked quickly and effectively. Without hesitation, I recommend BodyTalk™ with Julie Gentry.”
