Somatic Healing Restorative Retreat: Your Body is the Medicine - For Caregiving Professionals

Join Sara Kossove, a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, Somatic Psychotherapist, and Registered Yoga teacher, for this unique restorative retreat dedicated to providing self-care for providers. 

Somatic Healing Restorative Retreat: Your Body is the Medicine – For Caregiving Professionals is designed to transform caregiver burnout and reduce anxiety. Participants will engage in experiential and interactive classes designed to support the nervous system, improve body awareness and regulate emotion. 

Attendees will receive new skills and somatic practices for continued use. Opportunities for somatic experiencing (SE) inspired practices, restorative yoga, meditation, flow yoga, and therapeutic somatic touch will be available to all retreat participants. Daily meditation, somatic movement, interactive/experiential classes, restorative yoga, therapeutic somatic touch and one individual SE session with Sara are included in retreat. 

Woodstock’s very own Euphoria Yoga studio owner, Corrine Gervai, will be joining us to teach a few yoga classes for this retreat.

The Somatic Experiencing (SE) approach works directly with the nervous system by resolving dysregulation in the body. SE is a therapeutic model for healing trauma and other stress disorders developed by Dr. Peter Levine. www.traumahealing.org https://www.somaticexperiencing.com
