GENERAL INFO

Over the past few years, Circus Mobility retreats have brought aerialists and coaches together in places like Portugal, Mexico & Cambodia, for immersive experiences that blend serious training with real rest and connection. These retreats go far beyond destination workshops, combining aerial technique, strength and mobility, and nervous-system-first recovery with shared meals, meaningful conversations, and time to actually integrate what’s being learned. The result is an experience that feels part professional development, part embodied reset—where people leave not just inspired by the setting, but genuinely better equipped to train, teach, and live in their bodies.

SOLID GOLD

Aerial Indulgence, Alchemized

Dates: October 4-11, 2025

Drench yourself in movement, devour every spin, and binge on aerial that feels too good to stop. This week is about excess, extravagance, and absolute indulgence—a feast of tricks, sequences, spins, and dynamic elements on aerial hoop and dance trapeze, designed to satisfy your hunger for movement that looks as decadent as it feels.

Like the ancient alchemists in pursuit of gold, we’ll refine, transform, and indulge in the art of flight, turning sweat into shine, effort into elegance, and practice into something liquid, luminous, and rich with possibility. Expect buttery transitions, indulgent beats, and an aerial playground where restraint is off the menu.

You have unlimited time, unlimited space, and unlimited permission to take as much as you want. The only rule? More. More play, more exploration, more delicious movement.

Are you ready to gorge yourself on aerial gold? Come hungry.

SECRET ELIXIR

Drink Deep from the Well of Mastery

Dates: October 12-19, 2025

Some chase the feeling of flight—we chase mastery. Secret Elixir is for those who crave the details, who lust after the mechanics that make movement effortless, powerful, and refined. This is where we break movement down to its most essential, most efficient, most intoxicating form—no wasted energy, just pure, distilled technique on aerial hoop and dance trapeze.

This is the alchemy of control, where every entry, every transition, every phrase is fine-tuned for maximum impact with minimal effort. Expect a deep dive into pathways, timing, effort, and the mechanics of spin and other dynamic elements—the hidden ingredients that transform a trick into something seamless, fluid, and irresistibly satisfying.

With intimate coaching and unlimited training time, you’ll have the space to refine, experiment, and uncover the movement magic that makes everything click.

This is the elixir you’ve been searching for. Drink it in.

Unhinged

Aerial Fabric, Hoop, & Flexibility Retreat
Mexico

w master teachers Brit Crumpton and Jessica John
May 5-12, 2023

 

 a WEEK in PARADISE  with new friends, the beach, delicious, fresh, local food, and great training.

You learned the rules. The right way to mount the hoop. The wrong way to climb the fabric. The right way to engage your shoulders. The wrong way to lift the leg.

Now, get ready to break them. What if you wrap over instead of under? Will you like it with an arch instead of a curl? What are your limits?

Are you ready to geek out about movement and find out what makes you different? Unhinged is a retreat for aerialists ready to reclaim their time and lean into their desires to throw a middle finger to being told what to do.

Through new skills, sequences, & creative techniques, you’ll fill your artistic cup & speed up that journey toward your personal goals. You’ll veer into uncharted territory, follow your curiosities, and share supportive space. This retreat is for aerialists who are ready to explore the power of being confidently, radically Unhinged. The purpose of this retreat is to explore the creative and technical possibilities of movement on aerial fabric and aerial hoop.

It’s going to get weird and we can’t wait.

 

 

Unhinged Fabric‱Hoop‱Flex Aerial Retreat will have 3 daily training sessions.

Morning classes include: aerial silks and aerial hoop. Expect a multitude of flippy shebangs, floppy noodles and ding dang doodles. Guided adventures through swooshy, spinalicous puzzles and head scratching melty mazes. 

Afternoon classes: alternating hoop/fabric and flexibility.  Channel your inner shrimpy powers or just roll around on the floor with us singing songs about cute pets.

Creative classes: gloriously weird creative methods will be shared with an effort towards an all out, end of day dance party.

 The rest of our time can be spent eating amazing, healthy food, swimming in the warm river and ocean, reading in hammocks, and breathing the tropical air.

Jessica began aerial as an adult and was hooked from her first silks class. When she could no longer stand being chained to a desk, first as a lawyer and later at the CIA, she quit and created her own award-winning contemporary circus company where she specialized in dance trapeze and rope. Her movement background spans over 3 decades of competitive sport and dance, weightlifting, mobility training, the GYROTONIC METHODŸ, and of course aerial.
