Weekend #1 ~ The Body as the Healer

Embodiment, Boundaries + Containment
We begin here for a multitude of reasons; most people have split off or cut off from their body in various ways and have no idea. Bringing awareness to our patterns of holding and dissociating paves the pathway for embodiment to happen.

Many of us split or cut off because we have been or felt invaded or abandoned in some way. As we learn to work with our body as a container that has boundaries and can contain energy and emotions, we bring more of ourselves into our body and truly feel what’s happening. In this way, the body begins to heal itself, as we become active participants in a process already unfolding.

 

Through grounding techniques, such as somatic presencing, breathwork, and gentle movement, we anchor our awareness in the present moment, allowing the body to be a safe container for our experiences. We will explore these somatic practices, giving attention to our body's innate wisdom and boundaries.

​

Weekend #2 ~ The Creation of the Self

Childhood, Ego + Emotions
Once we learn how we are holding, split off, or cut off, it is helpful to understand the why. The why helps us bring understanding and compassion to ourselves. We are not just wrong or flawed; we have adopted different strategies to survive our childhood. These adaptive strategies inform the person we become, influencing our ego's development and our emotional responses to life's experiences.

 

Through compassionate self-inquiry, we will unravel the layers of these adaptive strategies, cultivating understanding rather than judgment. We'll use guided exercises to explore childhood, focusing on how these moments have shaped our current responses. In supportive group sharing circles, we will witness and validate each other's experiences, allowing us to see the commonality in our human stories.

 

Weekend #3 ~ Creating New Pathways (3 nights)

Rebirthing, Rewiring + Reconnecting
As we bring awareness and understanding to our ways of being—physically, mentally, and emotionally—we can begin the process of conscious change. By allowing what is unconscious to come forward into consciousness through ceremony, breath, and the potent practice of expressing the truth, we can start creating new pathways. Working with neural plastic states through breathwork and ceremony, we reshape our inner world.

 

A symbolic rebirth ceremony will mark this turning point, using elements like water or fire to represent purification and transformation. From here, we begin to parent ourselves anew, reconnecting to who we were before the world told us who to be.

 

Weekend #4 ~ The Shadow + The Sacred

Relationships, Sexuality + Communication
As we continue to work through the layers, we open deeper parts of ourselves. Relationships and sexuality often reveal the symptoms of our unhealthy programming. There is no greater place than relationships where both shadow and sacred connection surface, offering opportunities for transformation.

 

We will practice embodied communication, exploring the delicate balance between our shadow aspects and sacredness within relationships. Through inquiry, authentic movement and exercises, we will examine the body’s sensations in response to discussions about intimacy, boundaries, and vulnerability. This practice reveals where we hold back or open up, allowing us to transform how we relate to ourselves and others.

 

Weekend #5 ~ Embodied Spirituality (3 nights)

Energy, Conscious Awakening + Transcendence
Leaving spiritual bypassing behind, we step into the many layers of truth, realizing that the path leads to freedom when grounded in our human experience. Through grounded spirituality, we learn to expand and broaden our fields and containers to embody more, moving beyond the self while remaining rooted in the body.

 

This weekend includes an exploration of simple energy practices, such as meditation and breathwork, to feel the flow of energy within. We deepen our practice of conscious awareness, embracing our spirituality in a way that integrates the physical, emotional, and energetic aspects of our being.

 

Weekend #6 ~ Ritual Integration

Ritual, Celebration + Rest as Rebellion
From this place of arrival, we look for ways to continue integrating the work into our daily lives. Rest becomes a form of rebellion against the relentless push for productivity, allowing us to reclaim our wholeness. We will explore rest—ways to rest, reasons we resist it—and how to infuse ritual and celebration into our lives.

 

We will discuss rituals that can easily be incorporated into daily routines, such as mindful eating, gratitude practices, or nature-based meditations. A closing ceremony will honor each participant’s journey, tuning into how we can listen more deeply—to ourselves, to others, and to the natural world. We cultivate presence and embrace "being" instead of constant "doing," truly embodying our experiences.
