Experience Immersive Depthwork Healing in Beautiful Natural Retreat Settings (US and International)!

Living Santuary’s immersive healing format (milieu depthwork) removes daily distractions and allows for deep, uninterrupted release of traumatic emotional and somatic imprinted memories. We offer 1- to 3-day intensives and 5-day immersions in beautiful, natural retreat-settings (US and International) providing the spaciousness to enter into a restorative state. Shifting from shallow breathing, centering and grounding in the body, and lovingly responding to inner communication for day-to-day revitalization and expression of inner truth. This naturally aligns for more balance, joy, and lived authenticity that optimizes our overall health and wellbeing.

Receive guidance and support in escavating and shedding personal/multi-generational patterns or “narratives” that are embedded and re-inforce by socialization, internalization, dysregulation, and epigenetic processes. Participants are able to go within to deepen awareness and holistically “clean house” without having to abruptly re-enter a daily routine with ongoing stressors, tasks/duties, work/family concerns or life challenges that may undermine progress. The milieu of an intensive or immersion retreat provides a safety-attentive healing, natural environment to nourish the mind-body-spirit easing the release of patterns and blockages.

Our depthwork does not require sharing details of trauma or difficult experiences. The ability and/or willingness to revisit event(s) and have awareness of the mind-body response is important in removing unhealthy, non-affirming patterns that inform a sense of self, unconscious-conscious self talk, and inner relationship. These patterns also affect perception and the processing of events as well as storing/”holding” memories. Underlying mind-body patterns contribute to chronic stress, emotional overwhelm, depression, anxiety, energy depletion, the mind’s overthinking, feeling stuck/stagnation, and challenges with finding a right solution and follow through.

Release mind-body patterns and stored emotions associated with difficult or painful memories and personal/multigenerational trauma. This work contributes to systemic restoration and reversing epigenetic changes. We integrate several modalities to address:

  • Insecure attachment styles
  • Emotional dependency & dysregulation
