What awaits
An experience in the air & on the water

Anapausis — from the Greek, meaning sacred rest — is a place where aerial arts and lakeside tranquility meet. Whether you're drawn to silks, lyra, or trapeze, every session is designed to challenge your body, quiet your mind, and reconnect you to something deeper. Set at Lake Gaston, this June retreat is our inaugural experience — built entirely around our community.
