Somatic Mentorship Retreat
Mammoth Lakes, CA | August 15-19, 2024
A Community of Belonging and Becoming
where all of you is welcome
Embodiment in the Eastern Sierras
Immerse yourself in the healing power of Nature where your creativity thrives and connection happens. This is so much more than a retreat, this is a 5 day immersive experience, a soul quest and a adventure in being human, together.
Wilderness
is where we gather
I might not know you (yet), but I do know that you need connection, community, creativity and time outside to thrive.
I might not know you (yet), but I am dedicated to helping you know yourself. I want you to experience first hand, what opens and invigorates you, what makes you feel alive and in touch with yourself, at peace with your loved ones and your life.
This is the WHY behind our Somatic Mentorship Retreat: to feel as alive and connected as possible because it is your Nature and Nature will remind you of just that.
Humaning Together
The days of fierce independence are over (and overrated). We are social creatures (yes even us introverts) and we need connection.
I am so grateful for how the online spaces allow us to bridge the gaps of distance aaaand, there’s nothing quite like being together in-person.
The Intersection of Somatic Therapy and Authentic Relating
I was teaching and mentoring Somatic Therapy and Authentic Relating Trainings and I found that the Somatic spaces were lacking on the communication and community building side of things and the Authentic Relating spaces were lacking in embodiment.
I work in the in between, weaving together these potent frameworks to create experiences of deep, intimate connection and aligned expression.
Who:
This is an intimate gathering of Somatic and/or Authentic Relating enthusiasts, practitioners, facilitators, coaches and friends. We are gathering for the purpose of connection, healing and exploration in a landscape of wild beauty.
You are welcome here.
What:
This is a 5 day wilderness retreat in Mammoth Lakes, CA where Nature is our chaperone. We gather to explore embodied living, leading and loving through Somatics, Authentic Relating and immersion in elements. We gather for the joy of connection, the experience of belonging and with the intention of becoming more of who we really are: human, heart-centered, courageous and bodymind soul aligned.
Where:
“I never beheld a place where beauty was written in plainer characters or where the tender fostering hand of the Great Gardener was more directly visible.”
John Muir
Mammoth Lakes, CA.
Mammoth Lakes is a small mountain town nestled in the Eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains of California. There is a magnitude to the beauty and landscape that is beyond words. Think endless peaks, high alpine lakes, hot springs, waterfalls and so much more. This is the kind of landscape that will have you feeling at awe and in touch with the beauty within and around you.
Because this experience is all about being together, in our bodies, in the elements, this is a camping retreat. We have a group campsite as our BASECAMP included in the cost of the retreat. If you prefer more amenities you are very welcome to stay off-site. There are wonderful options within walking distance to our basecamp. I recommend looking on airbnb or other booking sites soon as the summer months are very popular in Mammoth.
