Finding Safety in Yourself & Others

A Five-Day Somatic Journey for healing stress and trauma through a holistic lens

NOVEMBER 6-10, 2024

This 5-day retreat will teach you the philosophy of somatics for healing stress and trauma through a holistic lens. You will explore sound healing, guided somatic group practices, and learn how to start relating to your body as a friend by speaking its beautiful language.

All the meals are organic, vegan and vegetarian, prepared beautifully and deliciously right at Hestia. 

This event is limited to 22 people.

 
 
 

Safety comes from inside of our bodies.

A body that constricts is one that is trying to protect itself. Safety and joy soften that protective constriction, which can initially feel scary and even threatening to such a body. This is why we must build our capacity for safety and joy.

This 5-day retreat will teach you the philosophy of somatics for healing stress and trauma through a holistic lens.

  • You will explore sound healing, guided somatic group practices, and learn how to start relating to your body as a friend by speaking its beautiful language.

  • You will learn how to feel safety in your body, nurture that state to grow and expand, and even connect with other human beings, nature beings, and sound in a way that can deepen the experience of felt safety and joy.

Your Facilitators

You will be deeply supported through these five days with an amazing team of beautiful people!

 

Luis Mojica, founder of HLN, will bring his knowledge and experience to each day with lectures, somatic practices, group ceremonies, nutritional wisdom, and weaving.  

 

Aiyisha Castillo, from HLN's Movement Mondays, will support you each day in building a deeper relationship with the body through somatic movement, play, sacred ceremony, dance, and more. 

 

Marika Malaea is the Operations Manager & Assistant at HLN. She will bring her own brand of co-regulation, including really good hugs and laughter, as well as offering on-demand emotional and somatic support.

 
 
 
 

Evan Glenn Adams is the Admin Manager & Sound Healer at HLN. He will be bringing his special sound healing medicine to this retreat, with daily sound healing opportunities to get into your body and out of your mind. 

 

Natalia Maupin is a Kundalini/Vinyasa Teacher & Assistant to Aiyisha. She will be offering a daily (optional) class that's a blend of deeply embodied vinyasa and kundalini awakening practice to ground and regulate the nervous system.

Each facilitator is trained in somatic modalities and specializes in trauma-informed care, space holding, and healing. Additionally, you’ll be on the sacred land at Hestia Magic where you can breathe in the scent of pine & cedar, spend time by the beautiful creek, and marinade in the creative spaces & people that will hold your body, heart, and mind as you retreat deep into the parts of yourself that want your support.

All your meals are included with your stay. Each meal is lovingly & intentionally designed to support your body & nervous system throughout the retreat. Hestia’s trained chef specializes in farm-to-table cooking and infuses love into all his creations. All meals are vegetarian and organic.
