Root to Rise: A 4 Day Retreat for Embodying Somatic Presence near Ottawa

Join Jaya for an incredible 4 days and 3 nights of Somatic embodiment practice to invite your body to ground, nervous system to unwind, and presence to emerge. This Retreat will provide you with a multitude of Somatic tools and wisdom to learn to let go of muscle bracing, chronic pain and trauma-related dis-ease, reconnect with your gut knowing, and find your way back into the subtly of being.

The pristine Retreat setting will support us in grounding and releasing, while swimming in a quiet lake, walking on forested trails on 35 acres, bathing in the wood-fired sauna, and enjoying fresh-picked, healthy vegetarian/vegan food with sacred community.

There is so much going on in the world today. Give yourself the greatest possible gift you can: a deep nervous system reset, rest and somatic practices for embodied living, and deep presence.

Testimonials:

“It is hard describe how transformative this Retreat was for me. I have been to dozens of Retreats and Jaya Somatic teachings and healing sessions are an experience everyone can benefit from. I’ll be returning. And this therapeutic approach has deeply influenced my own medical practice too. I now believe that somatics is crucial to transforming our treatments of trauma & it’s deep psychological scars.”

“To say this retreat exceeded my expectations is an understatement. The facilitators, the content, the accommodations and the food were all excellent. I came away feeling immeasurably empowered and supported physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. I can’t say enough about Jaya. She provided a safe space, is an expert in her field, and imparted content in a way that was easy to understand and accessible. I learned some valuable tools that I can realistically incorporate in daily life to feel more grounded, vital and connected to my inner being. I would highly recommend this retreat to anyone who would love to nurture and enhance their inner and outer being on every level in a beautiful and luxurious setting.”
