About this Retreat
Your Guides
Joseph Schneekloth was born into a family of healers in Iowa and holds a degree in meditation, dance, yoga, and Ayurveda from Maharishi International University. With over 15 years of experience, he teaches the sacred arts of movement. In 2014, he founded the Evolve Earth Foundation, hosting festivals and retreats to facilitate global evolution and personal transformation. His passion is "healing the healers," providing a sanctuary for change-makers. His approach is both grounded and expressive, leading sessions from his retreat space at China Walls on Oahu that bridge stillness with raw release through somatic movement therapy, laughter/crying yoga, and primal screaming. He also curates ecstatic healing somatic dance journeys as a live DJ.
Details of this retreat
The Evolve Earth Shadow Integration Intensive is a 4-day deep-dive designed for those ready to explore the hidden architecture of their subconscious. Set on the rugged volcanic ridges of Portlock, this retreat provides a secure container to meet the parts of yourself that have been sidelined by the demands of modern life.
This is not a "spa" retreat; it is a structural emotional recalibration. We utilize the raw elements of Oahu to facilitate a transition from internal fragmentation to radical self-ownership.
The Shadow Curriculum Includes:
Inner Child Exploration: Guided sessions focused on identifying and acknowledging early developmental patterns, providing space for the "inner child" to be seen and integrated into your current adult identity.
Primal Vocal Expression: Utilize the natural acoustics of the Pacific coastline for guided vocal release sessions. This practice focuses on discharging stored tension and reclaiming the power of your authentic voice.
Somatic Ecstatic Dance: A non-linear movement practice designed to bypass the analytical mind, allowing the body to move through and "shake off" stagnant emotional energy.
Integration Hiking: Mindful treks through the Oahu ridges, utilizing physical exertion as a metaphor and tool for moving through internal obstacles.
Shadow Mapping: Reflective workshops to identify the "unlived life" and hidden strengths currently residing in your shadow.
The Goal: You will depart with a refined sense of self-awareness and a nervous system that has been "vocalized" and cleared. This is a journey of returning to your whole, unedited self.
