Somatic Restore: A Nervous System Retreat
September 12–14, 2025
Sacred Owl Land · Corralitos, California
What This Retreat Offers
This immersive weekend invites you to ground, soften, and restore.
Set among redwoods and overlooking the ocean, we will spend the weekend immersed in deep learning and practices that help restore the full capacity of our nervous systems. Through somatic movement, gentle nervous system mapping, and nourishing rest, you’ll reclaim your ability to respond to life from a place of rooted clarity and wholeness.
Together we will explore a rich and expansive model of the nervous system that reaches far beyond the binary of "fight or flight" and "rest and digest" and into the terrain of holistic wellbeing and connection.
This retreat is for clinicians, healers, caregivers, seekers, and movement practitioners ready to deepen their relationship with their own body and healing. You’ll leave feeling grounded, restored, hopeful, connected and alive.
Location: Sacred Owl Land
Nestled in the Santa Cruz mountains, Sacred Owl Land is a reverently tended sanctuary surrounded by ancient redwoods, gardens, hawks and fruit trees with sweeping views of the ocean. We’ll move and rest in a gorgeous shala, soak in the hot tub under the stars, and share nourishing meals from the gourmet kitchen, prepared with love by local kitchen witch Sabrina Kahn.
Options are available for private or shared accommodations, or commuter participation if you live nearby.
