Retreats

Nayarit, Mexico
January 2025 with Essential Somatics

Come awaken your senses to a new possibility for your body, yourself, and your life while surrounded by the stunning beauty of the ocean, white sand beaches, and vibrant sunsets. Essential Somatics is thrilled to return to Mexico for a seventh year to offer the Essential Somatic Movement Retreat, taught by Martha Peterson and Gena Rho.

Whether you are dealing with chronic muscle pain, limited mobility, a general feeling of “getting old,” or you just want to move and play, you will find something freeing and enriching when you come to beautiful Chacala in Nayarit, Mexico, and learn to move with mastery and joy. This course is for EVERY BODY, no matter your age or activity level.

Through lectures, movement sessions, and interactive participation, you will learn critical, missing-link information that will leave you feeling lighter and brighter, with a renewed sense of awareness of yourself.

Wisdom of the Body with Gena

Within our somatic awareness lies intuition, creativity, and the ability to return to our most functional and free selves. When our perception shifts, our experience in the world follows. By gently embodying a renewed sense of yourself through a somatic movement practice you can bring optimal function and efficiency to all that you do.
