Release any notion of what dance looks like
Reclaim your natural, authentic movement
Calm your mind and awaken your body

 

Wild Grace™ is ecstatic dance that invites exploration of movement that "feels good" rather than "looks good".


Through a blend of music and silence, movement and stillness, we transform the everyday dance into a journey of self-discovery.

 

Paula's inspiring facilitation creates a safe, playful container to deepen body awareness, expand your movement vocabulary and
connect to the pleasure of moving your body from the inside out.

 

Come! – Discover the sweet spot where the wildness of Soul and the grace of Spirit unite.

 

A personal note from Paula:


"Imagine a place designed to get you lost in tunnels of jasmine ...
Where flowers tower over your head and breaks in the trees reveal
breath-taking views of mountains that are rugged and gentle at the same time.


Imagine a place to walk and wander in solitude ...
A vibrant, blooming oasis with amazing gourmet meals, high-end spa services, top-notch fitness professionals and friendly locals. From the moment I arrived at Rancho La Puerta, I felt welcomed, safe and special. It took almost a full week for me to traverse all of the different "rooms of natural beauty" at RLP. Each day, I would encounter a new path not yet taken, a new plant not yet seen, a new smell not yet experienced. The walkways are surrounded with a swirling mix of fragrances: jasmine, sage, rosemary, faint chocolate from an unknown plant.


I learned so much during my stay ...
I learned to slow down and enjoy the soft sun. That my portions of food are twice what they should be. That if food is tasty enough and healthy enough, I will be satiated and satisfied. I learned that fresh lemonade actually IS an appropriate substitute for red wine. And I'm much more pleasant when I'm not whacked out on caffeine. I learned a ripe mango is as delicious as chocolate -- really! And that a soft breeze calms and energizes at the same time. I learned that bunnies and squirrels get along just fine, and they like to hang out in the meadows at dusk. I learned that the bright, bold colors of Mexico are a perfect antidote to grey Portland skies. I learned that there are many paths to fitness and RLP offers almost every single one. And that sometimes just sitting in the shady spot of a sunny field of wildflowers is the best thing you can do for your heart

 

If you want to spend a week being pampered, getting in shape and learning about your body in a perfect mix of simplicity and luxury -- check it out.

 

RLP is a very special place on earth. I hope you'll come dance with me."
