RETREAT
Six days. One place. A different rhythme.
A six-day movement retreat with HUMANHOOD founders Julia Robert & Rudi Cole.
13 — 18 September 2027
Orsolina28 · Monferrato, Italy
STEP OUT OF THE EVERYDAY
What happens when you give yourself six days to move differently?
▽
To wake with the landscape.
To move for hours without rushing anywhere afterwards.
To eat together. Swim. Rest. Dance.
To let one day flow into the next.
SYNC Retreat is an invitation to step away from the speed of everyday life and enter a different rhythm.
One where there is time to listen.
Time to receive.
Time to move.
▽
Wake with the landscape.
Some mornings, we meet the sunrise and move together in the open-air theatre.
Breakfast. Coffee. Time.
Then we enter the studio.
From 10:30 — 16:30, Julia & Rudi guide you through the Sync practice — moving, exploring, listening and allowing the work to unfold across the week.
Afterwards, the rhythm changes.
Swim. Spa. Rest. Walk. Reflect in peace.
We meet again around the table for dinner.
And tomorrow, we go again.
No rushing from one thing to the next.
The whole day becomes part of the experience.
RECEIVE MOVEMENT
At the heart of the retreat is Sync.
Four days of movement with Julia & Rudi, with time to go deeper each day.
In Sync, we practice listening to the body rather than telling it what to do.
We listen to sensation.
To weight.
To what is already present.
We connect to the support of the Earth beneath us and learn to open the body from the inside out.
From this quality of listening, movement begins to unfold.
Not something we force.
Something we learn to receive.
How You’ll Be Moved
Discover how to move not just more, but better.
You’ll explore practices that unlock movement efficiency, coordination and next-level fluidity—ways of moving that feel powerful, effortless, and uniquely yours.
▷
Next-Level Fluidity
Instead of pushing or controlling movement, you’ll develop the skill to listen and receive the motion. This creates a stronger, clearer connection that helps you move with more ease, presence, and confidence.
Heightened Somatic Awareness
▷
Movement becomes a way to notice, feel, and process emotions—without being overwhelmed by them. You’ll learn how to stay present with what arises, while breaking free from old emotional patterns held in the body.
▷
Emotional Clarity
Let go of overthinking and move without the inner critic running the show. You’ll experience what it feels like to create from the body—with intention, flow, and a deep sense of liberation.
▷
Creative Freedom
Share space with others who are also showing up fully. Through movement, silence, and shared presence, you’ll build trust and connection—without needing to say a word.
▷
Real Connection
The Quality of your Movement
is
The Quality of your Life
Why This Program Will Move You
Far Beyond Movement
This Immersion isn’t just about how you move,
it’s about how you meet yourself through movement.
▽
You’ll start to see where you hold back, where you flow, what’s been unspoken, and what’s ready to be released. This work touches more than muscles—it meets your emotions, your beliefs, and your patterns.
The shifts you experience in your body will ripple out into how you speak, relate, rest, and show up in your life.
You won’t just move differently. You’ll live differently.

“There’s something about the way Julia and Rudi hold space—it’s not just teaching, it’s transmission. They don’t ask you to copy them; they invite you to discover your own truth through movement. I came in expecting to refine how I move. I left with a completely different relationship to my body—and to myself.”

About Julia and Rudi
Julia Robert and Rudi Cole are internationally acclaimed choreographers, movement directors, and world-class dancers, known for their immersive, transformational approach to movement. As co-founders of HUMANHOOD, their work blends contemporary dance, somatic intelligence, and energetic awareness into experiences that reach far beyond stage performance.
In the Movers Intensive, Julia and Rudi offer a rare combination of excellence and accessibility. Drawing from over two decades of global touring (including renowned theatres and festivals such as Sadler’s Wells or Venice Biennale), large-scale choreography, and deep personal practice in movement and dance, they hold a space where each participant is invited to move with clarity, confidence, and presence — regardless of background or ability.
With their grounded presence and their inspiring certitude they guide people into a direct relationship with their own bodies — through intuitive exploration, movement efficiency, and deep listening. The space they hold is intentional, precise, and deeply human.
This Intensive reflects everything they’ve come to believe through their work: that how we move reveals how we live — and that changing one inevitably transforms the other.
“We believe each human is a cosmic dancer,
with a unique gift: the body.
Here lies a Portal patiently waiting to reveal
the depth of our human potential.
Regardless of age, background, or ability, we all possess the artistry to access the transformative power of movement.”
