Aerial Mermaids is a two day aerial dance & swim retreat! Dancers can sign up to come just one of the days or book the package for both and stay overnight on the property either camping (free) or by renting the big house on the property (see below for more details). The private farm host is located near Mossyrock, WA (exact location sent after signup) 2 hours from Seattle and 1.5 hours from Portland. You have the option to be included in a group chat for coordinating carpooling!

Staying overnight for both days:
If you book the package with both retreat days you have the option to camp on the property by my yurt for free (access to outhouses, water for drinking and my DIY camp shower) or to rent a spot in the big house on the property which has a full kitchen and clawfoot tub and shower as well as wifi and a dry sauna. If you want to stay in the big house please get in touch with me after you book. The rate for the house is separate from my event and paid directly to the family who owns the property. The house has beds for 5 people (more if anyone wants to share a queen with a friend) and the rate is $130 a night for two people and $30 per person after that so to get the best deal for everyone we will see how many people want to split and stay in the cozy house. It is possible to book Friday night as well if you want to wake up on the property. You are also more than welcome to book your own stay nearby.
Starlight and Dusk Shows:
These private shows are completely optional! These are free private shows at the end of each day for dancers to perform for each other. River will video record your performance from a stationary angle. If you don’t want to dance you can watch and cheer on your new friends! We can also have fire performances in the sand so feel free to bring your props!
River will be teaching forest floorwork classes each day as a group warm up for the aerial dance shoots.
