A Return to the Parts of Ourselves That Need Care Too

Many of us spend our lives in motion.

Holding space.
Taking care of others.
Performing.
Producing.
Staying responsive.
Staying needed.

Over time, we can become so practiced at tending to the external world that we slowly lose connection with the quieter parts of ourselves asking for rest, grounding, softness, nourishment, and presence.

Coming Home to Ourselves is an experiential retreat designed to support a deeper return to the body, nervous system, and inner world through movement, mindfulness, connection, and immersive embodied practices.

This retreat was born from conversations around:

• radical acceptance
• embodiment and integration
• nervous system restoration
• experiential healing
• self-nourishment
• emotional resilience
• mindfulness and presence
• reconnecting to self beyond performance or survival pacing

Rather than focusing solely on insight or “working on yourself,” this retreat emphasizes lived experience - allowing healing, reflection, connection, and regulation to move through the body, nervous system, relationships, and environment in real time.

Held on Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula - one of the world’s Blue Zones - this retreat invites participants into a slower rhythm of living where restoration, reflection, and genuine connection become possible again.

Rather than pushing toward self-improvement, this experience creates space to soften into self-awareness, integration, and sustainable care.

The Experience

This retreat weaves together experiential, somatic, clinical, relational, and heart-centered modalities to support the whole person:

• body
• mind
• nervous system
• emotional experience
• spirit
• connection

The container is intentionally designed to support both grounding and expansion - balancing structured practices with spaciousness, integration, play, and rest.

Throughout the week, participants will move through themes of:

• orienting and arriving
• nervous system regulation
• radical acceptance
• embodiment and mindfulness
• connection and community
• self-nourishment
• integration and sustainable care

This retreat honors the reality that many people - especially those in wellness, therapy, caregiving, hospitality, fitness, service, or helping professions - often know how to care for others before they know how to receive care themselves.

Here, participants are invited to step out of survival pacing and reconnect with a more resourced, grounded relationship to themselves.

Retreat Environment

This is not a conventional resort environment.

• evening practices such as sound healing, reflection, ritual, or connection circles

The retreat is designed to allow participants to both engage deeply and rest fully.

Facilitator Team + Modalities

One of the core intentions behind Coming Home to Ourselves is creating a retreat experience that honors the full spectrum of healing and human experience - not separating the body from the mind, or the clinical from the spiritual, but allowing them to exist in relationship with one another.

The facilitator team reflects this multidimensional approach, weaving together backgrounds in:

• somatic psychotherapy
• DBT + ACT-informed experiential work
• mindfulness and meditation
• yoga and trauma-informed movement
• massage therapy and bodywork
• Reiki and energetic healing
• nervous system regulation
• embodiment and integration practices
• Zen and contemplative traditions
• restorative wellness practices
