Healing the Root: A 7-Day Somatic Trauma and Consciousness Retreat (Focuses on the root cause)

Are you ready to move past the stories and heal the wounds held deep in your body?
We invite you to join our incredible, well-crafted retreat program for a 7-day deep dive into trauma and the effortless, non-dual states of living. This isn’t just a spiritual getaway; it’s a strategic, therapeutic journey designed for lasting transformation.

Why This Retreat is Different: The Shangriballa Method

You can’t skip the body on the way to awakening. Many spiritual paths risk spiritual bypassing by ignoring unresolved trauma. We don’t. Our method is a powerful synthesis built on a clear, three-phase journey.

The Core Strategy: Three Phases of Transformation

• 1. 🧠 Phase One: Deep Preparation & Trauma Literacy
  This initial phase establishes a deep intellectual and experiential understanding of trauma. You immediately dive into the mechanics of suffering. Esteemed therapist Patrick Boulan leads trauma-informed teaching and workshops, providing the necessary expertise and safety framework.

  What you gain: Day One gives you a profound understanding of yourself and how trauma operates as a physiological energy—a neurobiological wound held in your body, not just a psychological narrative.
  The outcome: We introduce core somatic tools and techniques to ensure your nervous system is as stable as possible, laying the essential foundation of safety and awareness for the powerful emotional releases ahead.

• 2. 🌊 Phase Two: Deeper Trauma Release
  This phase utilises potent medicines and intensive workshops to facilitate the **release of embodied trauma**. This specialized work is guided by the **Shangriballa Method**, which strategically employs medicine, meditation, workshops and somatic techniques to open and discharge the “frozen” energy of old wounds (Samskaras).
• 3. ✨ Phase Three: Integration
  Crucially, the focus immediately shifts to integration. This is the process of weaving the released trauma and the insights from the non-dual states into a cohesive sense of self. It ensures the powerful, peak experiences don’t just remain fleeting moments but become the new, grounded reality of an **”embodied non-dual beingness”** and lasting trauma-release states.

The whole strategy is built on the Shangriballa principle: The body must feel safe and regulated before the mind can truly let go of its need to defend a separate, traumatised identity. We don’t just seek non-dual states; we heal the trauma that blocks us from living from them.
