At the heart of this experience is the 5-phase Future Design Process, a powerful synthesis of strategic thinking, somatic presence, and timeless insight.

Reconnect with your past strengths and clarify your present

2 | Define –
Identify your key challenges and strategic values

3 | Dream –
Envision a meaningful and expansive future

4 | Design –
Develop tangible strategies and next steps

5 | Dedicate –
Commit to action and launch your transformation

You can read more about our methodology here.

innerdance is a transformative practice that uses intentional sound and mindful touch to guide you into profound states of self-discovery and expanded consciousness. Important to clarify, this is not "dance" in the conventional sense of choreographed movement or external steps; participants typically lie down and surrender to a carefully designed sound journey.

As you journey, the "DJing of the Mind" uses specific rhythms and frequencies to gently shift your brainwave states, from the relaxed Alpha waves (like daydreaming) to the very deep Delta waves (like deep sleep). This non-substance-based method helps you deconstruct old ways of thinking and access new perspectives on your personal journey.

By engaging your nervous system and encouraging spontaneous inner movement, innerdance fosters healing and new neural connections for personal development.

The retreat

Five-day in-person retreat in the Philippines: February 1–6, 2026

Arrive on the afternoon of Sunday, February 1 for check-in, a welcome dinner, and an introduction to the program.

Retreat program, from February 2–6 (08:00–17:00, ending at 12:00 on Friday), engage in transformative workshops, innerdance journeys, peer coaching, and immersive practices.

The Inner Island program will take place at Maia Earth Village, a living community for sustainability and transformation located in the quiet mountain valleys outside Puerto Princesa, Palawan. Powered by solar energy and rainwater, Maia is a place where humans, animals, plants, and the elements share equal ground, guided by permaculture principles and Indigenous ecological knowledge.

Rather than a retreat center in the traditional sense, Maia is a hands-on learning ground where regenerative farming, natural building, and community resilience are practiced daily. Just five minutes from a pristine beach and fifteen minutes from a more secluded shoreline, Maia offers the rare balance of mountain stillness and ocean horizon.

The setting is abundant yet untouched by mass tourism, creating an ideal atmosphere for reflection, visioning, and deep recalibration.

Don’t forget to pack your swimsuit, so you can enjoy dips in the river during mornings, between sessions, and in the evenings.

Getting to Puerto Princesa
The main gateway to Palawan is Puerto Princesa International Airport (PPS). Daily domestic flights connect Puerto Princesa with Manila (MNL) and Cebu (CEB), with a flight time of around 45 - 60 min. Several major airlines operate these routes, including Philippine Airlines, Cebu Pacific, and AirAsia.

Transfer to Maia Earth Village
Once you land at Puerto Princesa Airport, Maia Earth Village can help coordinate your transport to the retreat. It’s a  taxi ride of about 40 minutes. To arrange your transfer, email your travel details to Iituli at iituliaalto@gmail.com.

Arriving Early
Some participants choose to arrive a day earlier to rest after their journey and ease into retreat mode. Puerto Princesa offers a range of guesthouses and boutique hotels near the beach or in town.

Optional Explorations
If you have extra time in Palawan, consider visiting the world-famous Underground River (a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature), island-hopping in Honda Bay, or exploring the local markets and seafood restaurants in Puerto Princesa.
