Somatic release is work with the body rather than about it. Tension you've carried for years, a tight jaw, a locked belly, shoulders that never come down, is treated as information, not as a problem to think your way out of.
Choose a single day or three days. Days are built around slow movement, shaking, stretching, breath, touch exercises in pairs and long periods of rest. There is very little talking and no need to explain or relive anything. Some sessions are loud, some are almost still.
Sometimes things come up: laughing, crying, heat, trembling, sleepiness. All of it is normal and nobody will make a fuss. This is not therapy and does not replace it. If you're dealing with trauma or anything acute, talk to us before you book.
People usually leave lighter and more aware of where they hold themselves tight. You also take home a handful of simple practices to do at home, in bed or in a bathroom stall.
The valley, the food, the place
Sessions are slow, so the rest of the day is slow too. The valley gives you quiet paths, a river to sit by and plenty of sun to lie in. Food is healthy, varied and always available, so nothing needs managing. The house is clean and warm, the group is gentle, and now and then a small treat shows up unannounced. The food is excellent, and vegetarian options are always available.
