What if connection is what we came into this world for?
What if your body plays a central role in how you relate — beyond words and gazes — through presence, touch, movement, and resonance?
Join us for a 7-day somatic immersion in the wild beauty of Koh Phangan, where the warm sea and ancient land hold space for deep relating and embodied transformation.
======
What is this retreat about?
• How would your relationships change if you could truly listen, resonate, and respond — with your whole being?
• What if non-verbal connection became a natural part of our culture?
• How can we bring our longing for nourishing human interaction out of the shadows — and truly meet it?
This retreat offers an opportunity to explore all of this through somatic relating practices that awaken presence, expand your capacity to feel, and bring more choice and aliveness into your interactions.
In this retreat you will:
• Develop skills for more satisfying and conscious relating
• Rewire old relational patterns and create new experiences of safety, support, and joy
• Work through early unmet needs in a nurturing, embodied way
The skills and topics raised in this workshop are not only for relating with an intimate partner. They can be applied to the interaction between friends, relatives and in parenting.
