TRAUMA CLEANSE WELLNESS RETREAT
10th - 17th May, 2024
AN IMMERSIVE JOURNEY FOLLOWING THE 4 STAGES OF TRAUMA CLEANSE
Welcome to a one week journey called the Trauma Cleanse. But, what is the Trauma Cleanse you ask? It is safe container to begin (or continue) the necessary process of coming into contact with our trauma. If we believe in the old adage “the only way out is through” then we are one step closer to integration. Through consciousness, kindness and with support we can begin to free ourselves. Designed by Ishta Devi and co-facilitated in intimate collaboration with Giulia this intensive week creates a very safe space to peel back the layers. Trauma keeps us stuck, but it is that same trauma that will set us free. Wake up to the warm Mediterranean air and a cup of Italian coffee and slowly drop in to your body and begin to do the work. The days are designed do to three hours of work in the morning, followed by Brunch at the Aia. After Brunch there is free time. We encourage everyone to get their bodies in the sea or to listen to what is coming up: rest, read, write, walk, move. In the Afternoon we meet back at the Aia to continue our safe journey together. Dinner is then served on the property.
