Come home is a deep healing immersion designed to nourish, restore and reconnect you to your aliveness. Within a safe and intimate group, you will heal challenges and remember your deepest wells of resource. With compassion and gentle guidance, Sylvia will share self-reclamation practices to help you live connected and liberated.

This immersion retreat will include:

Self Reclamation and Remembering– While held in the safety of the intimate healing circle, you will have the opportunity to move through fear, shame, anxiety, worries, depression, grief, self-protections, relationship and parenting challenges. Through Sylvia’s gentle facilitation and roots in Mexican traditional medicine you will experience how self reclamation supports us in the cyclical, regenerative journey of life. With clarity and compassion, Sylvia will help you integrate reconnection, ancestral/spiritual remembering and wisdom for ourselves and our communities

Nature connection– With Sylvia's extensive background in nature connection, we will embrace the medicine found within our extended familia, the plants, animals,  and elements in the natural world. Rooted in Mama Tierra/Mother Earth, we will honor her and return home to her arms and whispers.

Spiritual Reconnection- Through earth-based opening practices, you will enter the quiet space of your heart and connect deeply to your higher self/ spiritual/ ancestral/ natural connections. You will learn to feel the depth and peacefulness of your essential self and distinguish it from the voice of your survival self. You will learn how to clear your mind and body to develop awareness of this spiritual connection in every cell of your being.

Embodiment and Integration- Informed by neuroscience, somatic and ancestral wisdom on healing and establishing healthy patterns, we will practice “living into” or embodying what we are learning. Through Tension and Trauma release exercises that regulate the nervous system.

Healing rituals and rhythms- In the tradition of our ancestors and Sylvia's lineage of Curanderismo (Mexican traditional medicine), we will co-regulate with the natural world to heal, release, set intentions, and celebrate life. 

Unconditional Love and Safety– An essential piece of our medicine and ability to reclaim love is having real life experiences of unconditional love and true safety.  Sylvia creates an environment that supports deep personal exploration with a gentle balance of lightness and authenticity that builds safety and trust within community. From this space, the immersion offers us heart centered connection with like-minded, unconditionally loving community that our soul longs for and may rarely experience.
