We invite you to our…

Sense of Self Embodiment Retreat
Learn to feel God


Step into a loving and intentional retreat with us as we practice the art of softness and self-reverence, listening and attuning, held gently in a nourishing private sanctuary together in the captivating and soul soothing mountains of Santa Fe.

What you will have opportunity to experience and practice:

Conscious Communication: Learn and practice essential tools for clear communication and setting Self aligned boundaries confidently in your interactions.


Find your “yes” and “no” and “I changed my mind” through practices offered and have your voice and choice celebrated. It can be surprising what we discover through these evidence backed practices. Allowing expression of your Voice to break through, in new ways, creating an ever growing and deepening confidence and trust in Self/self.

Safety & Boundaries: The core of this retreat is consent. All activities are optional, and your personal boundaries will be respected at all times. The space is intentionally held to feel safe and supportive for all participants.

Breathwork Journeys: Daily Guided breath-work will support you in accessing deeper states of consciousness for emotional release, insight, and Self-healing.

Embodiment Practices: Explore various movement and sensory awareness practices in a respectful and non-sexual group setting. 

Clothing optional yoga

✓ Self-genital mapping 

Non-sexual conscious one-way asked for touch containers with practice partners. 

Opportunities  to cultivate a deeper relationship with your body, and your innate Wisdom free from the confines of societal expectations.

IFS informed- education will support familiarizing yourself or deepening your understanding with your internal system through the lens of IFS. 

Deepen somatic understanding of the practice of compassionate forgiveness of projection/judgement, from a Christ-Mind perspective. From intellect to embodiment. 

Build authentic community: Connect with a supportive community in a held space where vulnerability and self-discovery are celebrated.

Helpful information

Trauma, can lead to a sense of dissociation, even unconsciously, where we disconnect from our body as a coping mechanism. Through Somatic practices and giving more space and time learning to listen to what your unique body wants, or doesn’t want and giving voice to this, you have opportunity to gently reconnect and become present in your body/mind in new ways. This supports healing of the common mind-body split, allowing more Essence and Life to move through us. Which just feels good!

Participation in all exercises is completely optional. Your personal comfort and boundaries are a primary focus, and you are invited to participate at a level that feels safe and empowering for you.

The final day will be spent visiting sacred land in Abiquiu , visiting Ojo Caliente a historic hot springs spa known for its sulfur-free, mineral-rich geothermal waters, and celebrating our final evening together at our favorite delicious Izanami Japanese fusion restaurant located at 10,000 waves. 

Lastly, whether you have practiced with us before, or this will be your first retreat with us we believe somatic attunement, growing in Self awareness and communication is a life long practice. It’s a perfect place to continue and deepen in your Sense of Self with like-minded friends. We would love for you to join us!

          Santa Fe is Home to 23 indigenous tribes, nations and pueblos, with Spanish and Anglo influences. The distinct southwestern feel of this land is palpable, a cultural melting pot of timeless enchantment, vibrant art scenes, with a rich blend of cultural history… a nourishing holding space for our time together. 

          Lauren and Israel are authentic, honest, transparent and real. They bring forward learning opportunities in science and spirit, love and wisdom in a very approachable way. I feel seen and understood when I need steadying. I feel valued and encouraged when I need support. They are wonderful individual facilitators, and incredible facilitators together.

          - Amber, Yoga Teacher, Mother

          Through my session with Lauren I had this insight which was Power. I feel like the deeper I went with the breath, the more I was tapping into “power” or “my power center” I had been holding on to people, things and holding my breath to feel safe. Letting go is scary. But letting go helps me grow and ironically stand in true power.

          - Scott, Gym Coach

          Before I met Lauren I had went to several counselors and read every self help book I could get my hands on, nothing truly worked. Then….. I started doing Breathwork) with Lauren. I am calmer, I have more inner peace, and I can handle my emotions and events in my life with a level of control I  have never had. Later, I started doing body  embodiment sessions and doing naked yoga. Since then I have more self love. I don’t focus on what people might think-it is just a thought and has no affect on me. The first time I went to the beach after working with Lauren, I put my swimsuit on without anxiety, fear, and tears. I even walked around! My body is fine with all the “flaws” and there is no shame in it. Now I can walk around in front of my husband without trying to hide and telling him not to look. I have more self-love.

          - Sarah, Mom, Warrant officer

          I went into this breathwork session with so much built up fear and made up stories. Through the breath we transcended the barriers of this fear. I opened up and felt safe enough to allow miracles.  By the time we were done I had lost tract of time and transcended into Gods hands. I felt no more physical pain, only peace and love.

          - Aspen, Mom, Real Estate Agent 

          This was the first class that really challenged me physically and psychologically. She was absolutely so inviting, an excellent teacher, a wonderful mentor, and became a supportive friend. She has this wonderful gift to inspire our self-worth, to explore ourselves, to try new things, and challenge our ‘why not’ resistance to change.

          - Paul, Doctor, Dad

          As the somatic sessions continued, I started to reclaim parts of my voice that I’d lost. I was able to speak up for myself around the authority figure that I had always walked on eggshells around. The miraculous thing to me was, it wasn’t scary or hard to do! Practicing in the sessions with Lauren, helped me to regain access to my own inner authority and to connect it to my voice.

          - Mahila, Teacher 

          I have had low libido as a result of a few things, childbirth, ME/Chronic fatigue, and shutting down emotions as a coping mechanism. I wanted to open up to fully reconnecting with myself but never came across anyone that I felt could help or trust. Lauren has been brilliant. Her approach is extremely nurturing, Loving, and honors me and where I am, which is slow with plenty of resistance. She is teaching me how to honor the feminine in me. I trust her implicitly.

          - Janet, Mom and Spiritual Community space holder

          While practicing with Lauren, I learned a lot about myself. It’s ok to be comfortable being uncomfortable. We can find breath in all experiences in life. Apply meaning to the important, while allowing the unimportant to go. Lauren provided an amazing space to practice, breath, and improve my physical and spiritual self. Also attending naked yoga opened a space to be free and open without worry about judgment. I am more comfortable in my own skin and more confident in myself.

          - John, US Army, Dad

          Wow. I’ve been in therapy for 26 years exploring the topic of self love; the insights I received at retreat with Lauren and Israel have never come up in all those years of therapy. I learned to listen to my body’s wisdom and to speak my truth with kindness (instead of swallowing my truths in the name of politeness…which has created a lot of resentment in my life.)  The insights are too many to name.  I’ve been home for two days and can already see how this is positively impacting my relationships. Both Lauren and Israel create such a safe space and channel so much wisdom; I’m so grateful to both of them for their courage in offering these experiences.

          - Beth, Mom, Photographer 

          Beginning my Way of Mastery journey with Lauren has been revelatory.  She listens in non-judgement in a way that allows me to become more and more honest with myself.  She is not a meek coach that simply wants you to like her.  She will question and challenge your beliefs.  She speaks from her heart with what I believe is a true desire for my own awakening because she trusts so completely in the interconnectedness of us all through Love.  Her commitment to Truth is commendable and her trust in her own inner voice is inspiring. 

          - Namjai, Women’s Embodiment Coach and Founder of Women’s temple
