Arrival → Regulation → Activation → Opening (Cacao + Full Moon) → Integration → Embodiment → Closure

The first phase is about arrival and down-regulation. Guests begin to settle their nervous systems through simple meditation, grounding practices, and space.

As the body stabilizes, the retreat introduces controlled activation:

• Surfing (external engagement)

• Breathwork (internal activation)

• Contrast therapy (resilience training through temperature)

By midweek, participants are more present, open, and connected.

This sets the stage for the central moment of the retreat:

The Cacao Ceremony and Full Moon ritual.

Cacao acts as a heart opener, softening internal resistance and deepening awareness. The container of the Full Moon ceremony becomes a space for reflection, release, and subtle emotional processing, held without force or intensity.

Following this, the retreat shifts into integration:

• WATSU (deep nervous system release)

• Sound journey (subtle recalibration)

Participants leave not just relaxed, but more regulated, clear, and embodied.
