The Call

Every path of devotion begins with The Call.
The Call toward greater aliveness.
The Call toward refined alignment.
The Call toward becoming more fully human.

December 2nd – 6th
at The Thyme retreat center

The 360 Emergence will gather on the extraordinary land
of The Thyme, nestled between Connecticut and Massachusetts
in the Berkshire Mountains just 2.5 hours north of New York City,
for five days devoted to the art and practice of being fully human.

Together we will weave rigorous physical embodiment
and conscious dance practices with
sacred ritual + ceremony in deep connection to the land.

For those on The Apprenticeship or Facilitator path,
The Call will include onsite DJ learning sessions at both beginning + intermediate levels.

This is also an invitation to ignite your DJ journey with The 360,
as we prepare to launch the DJ Program in early 2027,
led by Louisa Heckett, Rachel Jordana + Amber Ryan.

Dance as ritual, embodiment as life.

The Call is led and curated by Amber Ryan.

Amber approaches every container as a living ritual—where music, movement, and presence converge into a field of transformation. Her philosophy is rooted in embodied expression: the practice of inhabiting the body fully, listening deeply, and allowing authentic movement to reveal what words alone cannot.

With decades of immersion in transformative dance, a foundation in theatre and vocal liberation, and mastery as an ecstatic DJ, Amber weaves crystalline guidance with evocative soundscapes to open pathways of resilience, authenticity, and belonging. Her approach blends the sacred with the somatic, artistry with rigor, creating experiences that are both profoundly soulful and practically grounding.

What makes this powerful is not only the methodology but the lived devotion behind it: Amber’s work invites you to trust your body’s intelligence, move through limitation into freedom, and embody the soul’s deepest knowing.

Allyssa S. Rivera (A-li-sha), pronouns she/her/ella, holds an M.S. in Dance/Movement Therapy from Sarah Lawrence College and a B.A. in Socio-Cultural Anthropology from NYU.

As an embodiment facilitator and dance alchemist with The 360 Emergence,
she fuses therapeutic expertise with artistic and spiritual depth.

Native to Puerto Rico, Allyssa’s journey through diverse clinical and community settings, including Mount Sinai Hospital in NYC, reflects her commitment to healing, as dance provided her from a very young age. Currently based in Brooklyn, she practices privately and at the Creative Art Therapy Place.

She also holds a faculty position at her alma mater, teaching graduate students Methods and Theory of Dance/Movement Therapy. Allyssa’s holistic approach, shaped by cultural awareness, supports transformative experiences, showcasing the capacity for dance and movement to bridge cultures and catalyze growth.

Louisa Heckett is a DJ, movement facilitator, teacher and Earth lover, dividing her time between Ireland, Spain and Costa Rica.

With roots in the early dance scene, she began spinning vinyl in the 1990s and today creates immersive musical journeys that connect music, movement and the body.

Through her own lived experience, Louisa discovered the transformative potential of somatic movement and dance in navigating trauma, addiction and body-image challenges, while cultivating self-love and a deeper relationship with the body.

As a facilitator of The 360 Emergence, she has taught across Europe and internationally and now teaches DJing within The 360 Emergence, sharing her approach to music as a form of aural storytelling.

Inspired by ancient ceremonial practices and the natural world, Louisa’s work explores the meeting place of music, movement, ritual and transformation.

Dr. Rachel Jordana Horodezky, Psy.D., is a licensed psychologist, mother, DJ, and founder of the Center for Embodiment Medicine. A 5Rhythms teacher and certified 360 Emergence facilitator, she has been offering conscious dance since 2010. Her sets—described as sober psychedelic journeys—blend emotional depth, ritual, and rhythm to support transformation.

Alongside her intuitive approach to music and movement, Rachel is a skilled technical DJ with a particular love of the craft of mixing. She teaches the nuts and bolts of DJing—including beat matching, phrasing, tempo, transitions, layering, and building a musical arc—in a way that is accessible, playful, and grounded in what actually happens on the dance floor.

Rachel teaches internationally and has worked across diverse settings, from prisons and clinics to festivals and corporate retreats. With a thriving clinical practice in Santa Cruz, she also trains therapists in embodiment-based approaches. Her teaching brings together technical skill, intuition, and deep presence, helping students develop both the practical skills to DJ confidently and the ability to read a room, trust their musical instincts, and create meaningful journeys through sound.
