Somatic Awakening - Yoga Neurosomatic Movement

This isn't exercise, it's somatic recalibration.
Therapeutic Touch for Nervous System Regulation - Massage Class

Heart Coherence & Vibrational Reset - Cacao & Sound Healing Ceremony
12:15 PM - 1:45 PM
Ceremonial cacao, rich in theobromine and PEA, opens neural pathways and facilitates heart coherence. Combined with precision-tuned sound frequencies, your brainwaves shift from beta (doing) to alpha and theta (being). This is your bridge from the active morning to the receptive afternoon.
The Deep Descent - Six Hours of Silent Meditation
2:00 PM - 8:00 PM
This is why you came. This is what changes everything.
Most people never meditate longer than 20 minutes. They never push past the resistance phase, never access the states that exist beyond the mind's initial rebellion. Six continuous hours is where transformation lives.
Hour 1 (2:00 - 3:00 PM): The Resistance Phase. Your mind stages its protest. Emails. Tasks.
Hour 2 (3:00 - 4:00 PM): The Fatigue Revelation. The exhaustion you've been overriding surfaces. Yur system beginning to trust the container.
Hour 3 (4:00 - 5:00 PM): The Breakthrough Threshold. This is where most retreat formats end, right before the magic begins. But we continue.
Hour 4 (5:00 - 6:00 PM): Parasympathetic Dominance. This is the state you've been chasing through apps and workshops. It arrives through duration, not technique.
Hour 5 (6:00 - 7:00 PM): Expanded States
Brain imaging shows that extended meditation produces gamma wave coherence. You're accessing dimensions of it your busy mind typically filters out.
Hour 6 (7:00 - 8:00 PM): Integration & Embodiment. Your nervous system has learned a new baseline.
The Methodology:
Vipassana Meditation
Frequently Asked Questions
Six hours of meditation sounds extreme. I can barely sit for ten minutes.
Perfect. That's exactly why this works. We're not asking you to sit in one position doing one technique for six hours. We guide you through multiple modalities, breath work, body scans, loving-kindness practice. The variation keeps your system engaged. And here's the secret: hours one through three are preparation. The transformation happens in hours four through six, when you finally move past the resistance every short session ends inside of. You can sit for ten minutes, we'll show you how to extend that capacity into something genuinely transformative.
Won't I get restless or want to quit halfway through in the meditation?
Yes. Absolutely. Around hour two or three, your mind will stage a rebellion. This is expected. This is part of the process. Our facilitators are trained to support you through this threshold. The container holds you when your conditioning says run. This is precisely where growth lives, not in comfort, but in choosing to stay when every pattern says leave. The group energy supports you. The structure supports you. You're never alone in the resistance.
What if I have a difficult emotional experience during the meditation?
It’s completely normal for strong emotions to arise during deep meditation. When we slow down, the mind and body naturally release stored tension and feelings. If you feel overwhelmed, you’re encouraged to pause, breathe, or step outside. There’s no pressure to continue. You’ll be guided gently and supported with grounding tools. Tears, shaking, or restlessness are simply energy moving through. Afterward, we’ll allow time for reflection, integration, and optional sharing. You’re safe and supported throughout. 💛
What's the material requirement?
Comfortable movement clothing for morning yoga (layers recommended), yoga mat, blanket, meditation cushion. If you don't have any of these, please communicate in advance so we can provided it for you.
What if I need a bathroom break during the six-hour meditation?
Of course. This is silent meditation, not a hostage situation. You're welcome to step out quietly as needed. We build in brief transition periods between techniques. The "six hours" is the container, your human needs are honored within it. Most people find they need fewer breaks than expected as their system settles.
I'm not naturally flexible or 'good at' yoga.
Perfect. The morning movement is accessible to all bodies and all flexibility levels. We work with your exact current capacity. The yoga session is only one hour, just enough to wake up your body and prepare it for the day's deeper work. Flexibility is irrelevant. Presence is everything.
What about the massage class? I've never given a massage before.
That's exactly why we teach you. The two-hour format allows ample time for instruction, practice, and integration. These are simple, effective techniques anyone can learn. You'll work with partners in the room, everyone is learning together. No prior experience required. Just willingness to give and receive therapeutic touch.
Twelve hours? My calendar is optimized to the minute. That's an entire workday.
Precisely. Your burnout trajectory is costing you weeks of degraded cognitive performance, compromised decision-making, and suboptimal output. Twelve hours is preventative infrastructure, equivalent to the productive capacity you're losing monthly to stress-induced inefficiency. The question isn't whether you have time, it's whether you can afford not to invest it. Think of it as a full system restore rather than a patch update.
