## This Exclusive Event is All About You

An intimate, premium retreat for women 40+, limited to three movement artists.

Bring your ideas: dance, pole, performance art, theater, or something entirely your own. This is YOUR time to explore, set an intention, and create, with support, inspiration, and an audience of fellow artists.

With just three artists, there’s room to get to know one another, share your work, and be heard. The weekend will be designed around each artist’s unique project, needs, and desires, with plenty of uninterrupted time for your own practice. Ample indoor and outdoor space will serve as your canvas for movement exploration.

Your three-night stay includes your own private bedroom, light shared meals, yoga, desert exploration, and fireside conversations.  Includes a personal movement film, shot during the retreat and edited by Zen. 

January 8–11, 2027 · Joshua Tree, California

## Meet Your Host

Zen is a movement artist, pole and aerial dancer, certified personal trainer, yoga teacher, and founder of GenX Pole Arts, specializing in working with women over 40. Her own practice moves across disciplines, bringing curiosity, play, and storytelling into physical expression. She created this retreat to give women 40+ the time, space, and company to explore their own artistic ideas.

### Dedicated to Women Over 40

An introductory movement and pole dance workshop for women 40+ who are coming back to themselves after decades of caring for and living for others. Through movement, play, and connection, they’re making time for their own curiosity, desires, and self-expression.

### Artist and Performer

Zen’s background in pole competition, dance, and aerial performance informs the support she offers students and retreat artists. Having developed and performed her own work, she understands the experimentation, preparation, and vulnerability involved in bringing an idea to an audience. She brings that experience to helping others explore their expression and share work that feels their own.

### Educator

Zen teaches through ongoing pole classes, workshops, private lessons, yoga, and guided movement exploration. She developed the GenX Pole Arts curriculum specifically for women over 40, drawing on her training in dance, personal training, and yoga. Her approach combines foundational skills with room to experiment, helping each woman develop strength, discover her own movement style, and express her ideas.
