This Somatic Healing Retreat will help to restore natural flow in our bodies, connecting us with an innate process to reset our nervous system and release trauma allowing for deeper healing to take root.

When our nervous system feels organized and well-regulated we are able to feel present and responsive to ourselves, to others, and to our ever-changing environment.

This settled awareness may not feel accessible to us when we are experiencing the effects of stress or unresolved trauma in our nervous system or when we are going through significant life changes and difficulties.

As we experience life there are many circumstances and difficulties that can take us off centre and this can result in anything from a gentle "not feeling quite right" to finding it extremely difficult to live in our body from day to day.

Dr. Gabor Mate, an author and speaker on trauma, talks of the loss of connection to ourselves as a potential outcome of trauma, and that healing comes through recognizing resilience, and finding reconnection with ourselves.

During this retreat we will hold space for what needs to be processed in our body and psyche and we will do this with awareness and patience, remaining present in our triggers so that we are not re-traumatized.

We will learn to stay within a window of tolerance to honour where the nervous system is in any given moment, supporting the ability to integrate healing.
