It’s time to find home in your body. You’ve earned it. You’ve put so much time, energy, and therapy into healing your trauma.
You’re SO close. Once you integrate what you’ve learned in your mind, with your body & nervous system, you’ll be able to truly feel & embody the changes you’ve been talking about wanting for so long.
This is a highly unique retreat where you’ll have tangible experiences of moving fear through your body, releasing old wounds, and evolving into your most liberated, authentic self. All while being empowered, seen, celebrated by an intimate group of like-minded women.

Kim
“To feel so gently accepted by this group of women, who are all so different than me – it’s given me a lot more faith in the ability for others to see me and accept me. It was liberating to feel so safe to move my body and express myself freely. I searched for so long for a way to feel more at home in my bones, and this retreat was a turning point for me. I feel confident and empowered to take up space, whereas before I was constantly anxious and stayed small.”
Jen
“I had multiple therapists tell me I was “unhealable” – I tried years of therapy without ever feeling better. I knew there had to be something better out there, so I tried Orit’s Somatic retreats. I was able to finally release trauma and I experienced true love & acceptance with a group of strangers. The amount of love I received on these retreats has left me speechless. I now trust myself to move through my emotions and feel safe to express myself authentically. I’ve already done 2 retreats and I’m ready to do it again!”
The Experience
Declared one of the Seven Wonders of the World, Machu Picchu is an architectural marvel that evokes mystery, intrigue, and cultural diversity. This is the perfect retreat location to immerse yourself into grounding, healing, and transformation. The breathtaking Andes mountain views provide the perfect backdrop for connecting with yourself and co-attendees, while the ethereal beauty of the ancient fortress city draws your body & soul into pure inner-peace.

Avery
“I’ve been in survival mode since birth. This retreat helped me feel truly relaxed and safe for the first time in my life. I was scared that this wouldn’t work, but I can confidently say I’m moving through the world with more calm and I’m so grateful for the impact it’s having on my everyday life.”
Becky
“I felt so loved. I felt so seen and accepted in a group of primarily strangers. It enabled me to see others with love, even those who believed different things and chose different paths in life. This was such a magical and divine experience to feel the interconnectedness of our humanity and care for each other in such a short time.”

Kellie
“As I began to move more freely at the retreat, I learned that it was safe to take up more space. I felt more confident to express myself in different ways for the first time since childhood. Doing this movement in front of others and being accepted is a very freeing feeling and created a feeling of empowerment within me. Seeing others accept my movement helped me to accept myself. This is a feeling I now carry in my body wherever I go.”
Kristin
“I was able to stand up for what I believe in, even though it was different, and still be accepted. For my body to experience that was life-changing. It’s opened my eyes to see the people at home who love me, who’ve stuck with me, and are committed to me. I can now speak up for myself without being pushy, and I trust that they’ll still be there for me.”
How This Works
Your retreat experience will include Orit Krug’s 5 essential components to healing trauma in a way that lasts:
1. Safety
If your nervous system does not feel safe and comfortable in your environment, then healing cannot happen. Your body would keep draining all its resources to stay in over-protection mode while your “high-functioning learning brain” remains shut off and unable to learn anything new.
This is why we have our top-quality, 5-star retreat space, so you can truly relax and give yourself a fair chance to embody the shifts you’ve been working to achieve.
![somatic healing retreat somatic healing retreat](https://oritkrug.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Untitled-design-13.png?x98507)
2. Relationships
You can learn all the trauma-related information through books, online courses and podcasts, but if you’re not activating your social engagement system in the brain & body, then you’re not rewiring (Stephen Porges, The Polyvagal Theory).
The 7-person maximum on this retreat is intentional. We will have an intimate experience where you can feel safe and be guided by Board-Certified Therapists to take risks in relationships with your co-participants.
3. Body and Movement
Brain imaging and research shows that the traditional approaches of talking, mindset work, and other cognitive approaches don’t access implicit trauma memories that are stored in the non-verbal brain and body (Bessel van der Kolk, The Body Keeps The Score).
Some people have felt incredible progress with less traditional modalities such as EMDR and hypnotherapy. Others have felt even worse. Nevertheless, they still don’t include a specific movement approach that breaks trauma-driven patterns from the physical body (Bruce Perry, Neurosequential Model).
You’ll experience my neuroscience-backed Dance/Movement Therapy (DMT) approach through sessions within the privacy of our retreat property, as well as blended DMT-hiking sessions to Peru’s most magical archeological sites.
![Sedona Healing Retreat Sedona Healing Retreat](https://oritkrug.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/IMG_1075-2.jpg?x98507)
4. Individualized Intervention
There’s an endless amount of information and guidance through meditation, yoga, and nervous system regulation “hacks.” While these can be helpful as daily habits, they are often used as blanket prescriptions that aren’t individualized to meet the complex needs of your Window Of Tolerance, which is necessary for lasting healing (Dan Siegel, UCLA – Psychiatry).
During your retreat, you’ll connect to your body so deeply and authentically, that you will learn customized self-care techniques that work specifically for you, even within the group experience. This is not something that anyone (including myself) could possibly predict for you, until moving with you and witnessing how your body responds to different healing interventions. We will pinpoint this together so you can bring it home and keep embodying the next best version of you.
5. Real-World Integration
It’s one thing to experience transformation in the safety of a therapy session. It’s a whole different story once you truly integrate these aha-moments and shifts, out in the real world. This is one of the reasons why so many people experience healing within the privacy of a session with their therapist, but then they don’t see it translate once they step back into work or their real-life relationships.
During our Integrated DMT/Hiking sessions, you’ll be guided to apply and integrate your healing out in the world, amongst other people, and through situations that require real-world decisions. This will give you the confidence and experience to follow through on life-changing shifts that often get left behind in the 4 walls of the therapy room.
