Nervous System Reset & Burnout Recovery
Saturday, February 7th | 9:00am–4:00pm
Lunch and refreshments served

If you’re feeling chronically overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, disconnected from your body, or stuck in survival mode, this immersive day retreat is designed to help you reset, regulate, and restore.

Somatic Healing Immersions blend evidence-informed therapy with embodied healing practices to support nervous system regulation and sustainable wellbeing.
This experience offers a safe, supportive container to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and learn practical tools you can carry into daily life.

Throughout the day, participants will be guided through an intentional flow of therapeutic and somatic practices, including:
•Heart Quest Testing to identify personal patterns and areas of nervous system stress
•Group session work focused on shared themes of burnout, stress, and emotional fatigue
•Guided breathwork to support regulation and release
•Somatic sensory practices to reconnect with bodily awareness and safety
•Massage therapy to support physical relaxation and integration
•Building your personal somatic toolbox for ongoing self-regulation and resilience

This is not a passive retreat—it is a therapeutic immersion designed for those seeking meaningful change, not surface-level wellness. You will leave feeling more grounded, resourced, and connected to your body, with tangible practices to support recovery from burnout and chronic stress.

This retreat is ideal for individuals who:
•Feel stuck in stress, burnout, or emotional exhaustion
•Struggle to truly relax or “turn off”
•Want nervous-system–informed healing, not talk-only therapy
•Are curious about somatic approaches to mental and emotional health
•Desire a supportive group environment with professional facilitation

Space is intentionally limited to maintain a safe, personalized experience.

📰 Science strikes again! Proving what humans have known for millennia. 🧠📜⚕️💆🏾‍♀️

🧠 Scientists have discovered a remarkable way to double the brain’s waste clearance system—not with drugs or surgery, but simply by massaging the skin.

A team from the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) has shown in mice that gently stimulating the lymphatic vessels under the skin of the face and neck can dramatically boost cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow. This process helps flush out toxins and waste products from the brain, including harmful proteins linked to Alzheimer’s disease. Using a specially designed mechanical stimulator, researchers restored CSF drainage to youthful levels in aged mice, suggesting a safe, non-invasive strategy to improve brain health.

Even more exciting, the study mapped previously unknown drainage routes from the brain to superficial lymph nodes through facial lymphatics—pathways that remain active even in older animals. This discovery completes the anatomical picture of CSF outflow and hints at future wearable or clinical devices designed to enhance brain cleansing.

While more research is needed before human applications, this gentle mechanical approach may open the door to new therapies aimed at preventing or slowing neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
