My attendance at the Southern Oregon Coast hoop retreat was absolutely wonderful.   I cannot say enough about how positive my entire experience was from start to finish.  The instructors were so patient, kind, and knowledgeable and are gifted in teaching the art of hooping to all levels.  There were other various options of classes to partake in such as yoga and a chakra dance. 

The property is absolutely gorgeous and the accommodations were so comfortable and welcoming.  The meals provided were all deliciously homemade and healthy.

Em Robbins does a phenomenal job of hosting this wonderful retreat.  I look forward to attending the next one.

I attended the Coastal Hoop Retreat for the first time in 2022. Upon registering I had no idea what to expect, I just knew that the retreat looked like a lot of fun and a great way to build my hoop community as well as enjoy some time on the beach. I was pleasantly surprised to find that this retreat FAR exceeded my expectations in every possible way and was forever life changing.

I had been in a dark place mentally and emotionally and was in dire need of community and love. What I found at this retreat was all of that and so much more. I found my life long soul tribe and forever friends that continue to shower me in love on a daily basis. More than that I found my love for myself.

This retreat was more than just a TON of fun, it was spiritually uplifting and left me feeling whole again.

I will be forever grateful to Em for hosting such an incredible event that literally set my life on fire (in the best of ways), and for doing such an amazing job feeding us such delicious food!

This retreat was life changing and I cannot wait to come back.

This retreat is magical! The location is stunning and the community is so welcoming. As a shy introvert attending for the first time was definitely outside my comfort zone. Meeting this group of passionate and supportive women was life changing for me. If you want to make friends with other flow artists this is the place to do it! I always leave feeling inspired with new moves and a deep sense of connection with our little community. Em is an all out superstar: amazing hostess, organizer, and cook. She accommodates my vegan diet fabulously. This weekend is nourishing for the mind, body, and soul. I am so grateful for the opportunity to attend, and I can not wait to go back!"

Katie Pinto considers herself a play professional.  Heavily influenced by a professional background in yoga, dance, music, and performance, Pinto enjoys the game of "cross-Prop-ulation" - exploring the fusion between modalities.  While she practices and showcases a variety of props, her home is still within the hula hoop.  She has become a little less nomadic over the past few years, currently with her home base in Arcosanti, Arizona and training adventure cats.

Michelle Slind

A certified Hoop Love Coach, Michelle has been dancing with hoops for nearly a decade. She loves the joy and emotional release that she experiences when hoop dancing and has developed a strong skill-set that she excitedly shares with others. She views hooping as a tool for therapeutic self-expression, meditation, and creativity. Her hoop style is often described as dancey, graceful, and flowy. 

 

Michelle has a gentle and friendly demeanor and strives to maintain a supportive and kind class environment. As a teacher she uses her dance background to help students sharpen their skills, using simple choreographed sequences to provide guidance and structure while encouraging her students to explore their own unique styles. In her classes you can expect to incorporate dance movements with hoop tricks and deepen your mind-body connection.

 

Michelle is excited to flow, grow, create, and connect with you this year at our Mt Shasta version of our PNW Coastal Hoop Flow Retreat!

Hi I'm Amanda, and I’m your photographer. I believe the shame that society puts on our human form is misguided and keeps up from being our fullest self. There are few things more liberating than to feel safe to express and fully be in our bodies. Let’s return to ourselves and this miraculous earth we inhabit, shall we?

I will be offering private photo shoots during the retreat (for additional fee).

I am also offering a Vocal Alchemy workshop, It’s said that our voice is as unique as our finger prints. A particular vibration that only you carry…. how special is that?

Our voice is at the core of Vocal Alchemy. The essence of this offering is to liberate our ourselves from suppressed tension, grief, anger, and sadness through sound. breath, movement, and vocalization that will support us in freeing our voices and transforming any stuck energy that is ready to GO!

Claire Mayo

 This will be the 4th year Claire has attended our retreats as a guest but this year she's also bringing her Astrology talents! 

 

 Claire is an Astrologer, Level 2 Reiki Practitioner, and Hairstylist in the PNW. 

 "I practices what’s known as Hellenistic or Traditional Astrology where we focus on timing, cycles, and activations in a person’s life to find ways to best utilize the rhythms currently at play and find greater appreciation and acceptance of our inherent gifts and life struggles. Many people don’t realize our birth chart is capable of showing us more than just a mirror of our psychology, (which don’t get me wrong that’s incredibly validating and worthwhile all by itself) but it can ALSO help us understand where we are in our life’s journey. You hear the expression all the time that we are on a path, but we are stumbling along, finding our way as we go, and in the dark. Astrology can let you know the terrain that path is on, the topography, the weather conditions, the vistas and rough patches along the way, as well as the tools you already have with you. Wouldn’t that information make your trip easier? You could then be better mentally and emotionally prepared and use your resources accordingly. I started my studies in astrology during the dark times of the pandemic when many of us were left to our own devices for better or worse; Astrology has been one of the most helpful and rewarding pursuits I’ve taken on (besides when I started hula hooping) and it has been invaluable during these wild times. I’d love to share the life hacks, rhythms, and gifts your chart is holding safe for you so that you can gain deeper acceptance and discernment while navigating your life path to its fullest potential.
