Welcome to May’s newsletter. As the days grow longer and the energy of spring settles in, this is a time for fresh starts, gentle momentum and reconnecting with what matters most. There is plenty unfolding this month, from upcoming events to small moments of inspiration, so take your time, have a read, and see what speaks to you.
Besides our beautiful day to day work, we are beginning to get ready for our major ceremony of the year, the Long Dance. We wanted to invite you to it in this newsletter, but the Summer Long Dance 2026 has already sold out. If you would like to be added to the waiting list please fill in this form. Tickets are now available for the Summer Long Dance 2027.

with gratitude
As we come to the close of this newsletter, we hope you've found something here that resonates with you. We'll be sending love, prayers, and blessings out into the world from the Summer Long Dance 2026. If you're not able to be there in person this year, we warmly invite you to tune in and join your prayers with ours, in whatever way feels right.
If you feel called to be part of this offering to life, one way to do so is by contributing to our central charity, Fundación Pachamama, via our JustGiving page. In doing so, you join your energy with the beauty, depth, and intention of the Summer Long Dance ceremony, becoming part of it in a tangible way that makes a real difference. Thank you to use who feel moved to do so.
We deeply appreciate your care, your presence, and your awareness of this gathering. And as we mentioned earlier, if you feel the call to experience the Long Dance in person, don't hesitate, this is a truly extraordinary ceremony, rooted in the medicine of movement, fasting, shared intention, and community. Tickets for 2027 are available now.
We wish you all blessings, to give and to receive,
With love, respect and gratitude,
Ya'Acov, Susannah and the School of Movement Medicine
