Whether you’re arriving with a longing to heal, expand, or simply return to yourself—welcome.
This is a space to soften into the wisdom of your body, your breath, and the original essence you came here to embody. Through somatic sessions, immersive retreats, and dance-drenched group experiences, I guide beings in unwinding old patterns, reclaiming their truth, and remembering how to move like they mean it.
I believe our power lives in the places we’re willing to meet ourselves fully—in the dance with shadow, the courage to feel, and the choice to lead our lives from embodied presence.
Here, we don’t just heal—we come home to ourselves and out authentic expression.

Testimonials
What They Say
“Ashtara is an amazing facilitator. She leads with heart and mind, in a soft, grounded way built from her own experiences and wisdom. There really aren’t that many humans who, for me personally, have been able to combine heart and mind, while having a natural humility and a sense of ‘we’re in this together’ mentality that has me feeling comfortable to share and explore my desires and to be vulnerable with. The space she holds make me feel safe to open up with Ashtara and receive her guidance and wisdom.”
Daniel Roth, Former Wall Street Executive + Author
Working with Ashtara Kukuk, has been an amazing experience. As a veterinarian, stress and trauma have taken a big toll on my health and body. With Ashtara's support, I have gone
deep into my own soma, explored some of the blockages there and opened myself up to a new way of interacting in the world. Her gentle yet
profound support have helped me reconnect deeply with my body and allowed me to get out of fight or flight mode. Thank you so much for
this amazing work. Can't wait to see what's onboard for this month!
