Somatic Healing Restorative Retreat: Your Body is the Medicine - For Caregiving Professionals

January 16 - January 19, 2025

Sara Kossove

Join Sara Kossove, a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, Somatic Psychotherapist, and Registered Yoga teacher, for this unique restorative retreat dedicated to providing self-care for providers. Somatic Healing Restorative Retreat: Your Body is the Medicine - For Caregiving Professionals is designed to transform caregiver burnout and reduce anxiety. Participants will engage in experiential and interactive classes designed to support the nervous system, improve body awareness and regulate emotion. Attendees will receive new skills and somatic practices for continued use. Opportunities for somatic experiencing (SE) inspired practices, restorative yoga, meditation, flow yoga, and therapeutic somatic touch will be available to all retreat participants. Daily meditation, somatic movement, interactive/experiential classes, restorative yoga, therapeutic somatic touch and one individual SE session with Sara are included in retreat. Woodstock’s very own Euphoria Yoga studio owner, Corrine Gervai, will be joining us to teach a few yoga classes for this retreat.The Somatic Experiencing (SE) approach works directly with the nervous system by resolving dysregulation in the body. SE is a therapeutic model for healing trauma and other stress disorders developed by Dr. Peter Levine. www.traumahealing.org https://www.somaticexperiencing.com

“Deep in the Catskill Mountains exists a very special place—the Dewa Spa at Menla. On a snowy, late winter afternoon there is nothing better than a long deep soak in one of their tubs infused with the 5 Nectars bath blend. The tranquil sounds of this hidden valley can be heard through a cracked window—the Pantherkill Stream and the sweet symphony of our bird friends chattering about the upcoming spring. This is the perfect place to leave the world behind for as long as possible!”

Lisa Tucker

“Beautiful setting, Beautiful facility, and the most beautiful people.”

Steven Dressler

“Homerun. One of the best retreats I’ve ever attended. Was an incredible treat especially to have so much access to Krishna Das, and I will never forget the Robert Thurman’s hysterical and insightful words. Incredibly inspiring and powerful weekend!”
