Program
Do you often feel anxious, overwhelmed, stressed out, worried a lot, or exhausted? Or on the contrary, you feel tired, lost, and disconnected from the world, and you just want to hide away?
Have you tried yoga, mindfulness, meditation, and other healing modalities, but you always find yourself stuck again in the old patterns of overwhelm, stress, depression, disconnection, and anxiety?
Have you heard about nervous system regulation? It might be that you are stuck in chronic stress responses and are in survival mode.
It is not uncommon for a lot of people that their bodies have forgotten how it feels to be in a relaxed state - calm, safe, grounded, confident, loved, connected, and available for the relationships in their life - being 100% themself, free from coping strategies like perfectionism, people pleasing, high achieving, blaming, keeping themself busy, addictive behaviors of all kind, etc.
Research in the last years around trauma, the somatic experience of it, and its connection to the nervous system, has brought to light what is, for people, the missing link between band-aid healing solutions and real, long-lasting results!
Even if you can do all the breathwork, yoga, and relaxation techniques in the world, if you don’t take care of the nervous system, these modalities can just bring relief but no real results.
This is because you have to go deeper, work on the body level, and release what has caused this dysregulation in the first place in order to be able to rewire yourself and find your way back to this place of safety, clarity, and connection.
If you can relate to all this, then you are at the right place: this six-day nervous system reset retreat is for you!
Spend six days to give yourself all the tools to go back to a regulated state, with much more capacity to respond to everyday life and stressors, as well as to identify the core beliefs that keep you stuck in this survival response, and to rewire your system and ultimately find the way back to yourself!
And, all this will be by having fun connecting with like-minded people from all over the world, eating Samadhi Lodge's highly praised super yummy healthy vegetarian food, connecting to the lush nature of Andalusia’s coast and mountains, hiking, swimming in the pool and the sea, and being taken care of by Samadhi Lodge loving team!
Dive into nervous system regulation and unlock lasting wellness by learning techniques to bring your nervous system back to balance over time, rewire old beliefs, and connect back to your body, nature, and the people around you.
Born out of the most recent research, this expert-led retreat offers a unique blend of top of the science workshops, healing breathwork, somatic exercises, and reconnecting yoga sessions.
You will also experience an epic hike in the Natural Parks and a relaxing day at beautiful Nerja beach. Join Samadhi Lodge in Andalusia for a transformative experience between mountains and sea to rediscover your inner calm, clarity, and connection.
