Recovery Reset Retreat


Coming in 2024 ~ Dates will be announced soon

Welcome to our Recovery Reset Retreat!

A nourishing and transformative week to reset your nervous system and bring your recovery to a new level of joy, emotional freedom and lasting wellbeing.

Why? To celebrate your recovery and life itself - to reboot your brother- and sisterhood on your recovery journey. To feel empowered and energized to bring your recovery to the next level.

Come and join us at our tranquil and intimate retreat center in the middle of the Costa Rican mountains and dive into the depths of your own nervous system, your body’s inner truth, wisdom and guidance throughout your recovery and life.Learn to foster a deeper, introspective and intuitive connection to the voice of your neuronal landscape and engage in exploring various healing practices while filling your mind and soul with empowering knowledge and science-based approaches to recovery.

Combined with informative and interactive teachings from neuroscientist & trauma and addiction specialist Hannah Westphal we will dive together into the essence of your nervous system, explore how your body communicates to you daily and the intrinsic mechanisms it has in store to protect your mind and wellbeing.

We are connecting to your neuronal tone through engaging with your senses and creating room for an embodied recovery mindset. Through a neuroaffective sense approach you will have the chance to integrate your mind-body connection and re-enter a well balanced state between the conscious and unconscious processing of your nervous system

During our time we will apply easily accessible neuroscience-based somatic healing tools to rewire your nervous system, we will connect with your vagus nerve and learn how to use its powerful connection between the body and the mind.

This week's retreat will be additionally filled with various nourishing, transformative sessions from other teachers of mindfulness and meditation, relaxing yoga sessions, lush nature hikes to nearby waterfalls in the middle of the Costa Rican Jungle & drum sessions at our campfire site.

Alongside our teachings we will spend one day exploring the nearby ocean and beach side, learn the deep connection of our nervous system to blue spaces and the ocean’s healing power on our body. We will reinvent indigenous ancient rituals to go to the ocean to release grief and other burdened emotions while learning how to find rest and peace with our emotional state.

Whether you have been in recovery for many years and just need a little reminder of how to reconnect to yourself, whether you are looking for deeper layers of healing and purpose in your life in recovery or whether you have been quite new to finding deep connections to others and yourself without the use of substances - our Neuro Embodiment Recovery

Retreat will truly shift your experience and perception of your body, mind and soul integrating the deep truth of your own nervous system.

Join us from the 24th of February - 2nd of March in Costa Rica - we are so looking forward to seeing you there!
