Somatic Experiencing Retreat

November 7, 2024

At Dragonfly Retreats, our Somatic Experiencing Therapy Retreat offers a safe and supportive environment for individuals seeking trauma healing and recovery. Somatic Experiencing therapy is a powerful, body-cantered approach designed to address the effects of trauma by working directly with the body’s natural processes to release stored tension and restore equilibrium. This therapeutic retreat provides a space for participants to reconnect with their bodies, release trauma, and build resilience.


Led by our experienced team who specialize in Somatic Experiencing and trauma recovery. Participants can expect a deeply personalized experience. Each session is crafted to explore how trauma has impacted the nervous system and to provide tools to build body awareness and self-regulation. Through mindfulness, movement, and nature-based practices, this retreat nurtures healing from within.

The Somatic Experiencing Therapy Retreat emphasizes that healing is a journey best undertaken with compassion and patience. Participants engage in guided exercises to gently release trauma held in the body, while also learning skills to enhance resilience and reconnect with their inner strength. By the end of the retreat, individuals often report feeling more grounded, balanced, and prepared to embrace a fulfilling life beyond trauma.


At Dragonfly Retreats, we are committed to providing a healing experience that honours each individual’s journey, offering support both during and after the retreat. Our therapists remain available for follow-up, ensuring that the skills learned are fully integrated. Join us in this transformative experience and discover how Somatic Experiencing Therapy can empower your trauma healing and recovery.
