BE MOVED RETREAT · Portland, OR

With Rosario Sammartino and Joshua McClain

September 24–27, 2026, Portland, OR

Join Dr Rosario Sammartino and cellist/composer Joshua McClain for four days of embodied and creative explorations in a peaceful twenty-acre oasis nestled in the Columbia River basin. Surrounded by nature, we will slow down, listen more deeply, and reconnect through movement, drawing, writing, and other expressive practices. Live cello woven throughout the retreat offers another layer of inspiration.

Whether you are seeking creative renewal, a deeper connection, or time to reconnect with yourself and your practice, this intimate small-group retreat offers a rich space for embodied inquiry, creative exploration, and the depth of being together in person.

Included: shuttle transportation to and from the airport, three-night accommodation, chef-prepared meals, bathhouse access, cedar sauna, cold plunge, and more.

Grounded on the Tamalpa Life/Art Process, which combines a variety of somatic-artistic tools–including movement, drawing, creative writing, and performance– I provide a creative and safe space for group participants to explore personal and interpersonal themes & generate new resources to bring into their lives. Group sessions promote healing and growth, supporting the development of creative resources, artful communication, and embodied presence.

Group sessions are 2 hour-long and take place once a week. Each month a different but interconnected larger theme is explored, allowing ongoing participants to keep expanding and deepening into their process while opening up the space for new members to join the group. Participants are required to sign up for the whole month-long series (4 sessions) and have priority to enroll in the following months. When spaces are made available, new participants are welcome to the group.
