Why this exists

I flew to Thailand broken.

This retreat isn't something I designed from a brochure. It's the medicine that put me back together — offered to you, with the exact people who gave it to me.

A few years ago I was in a freeze response so deep I didn't know it had a name ... numbing, performing "fine," sabotaging what mattered. Twenty-eight days of nervous-system work in Thailand changed my baseline. Not fixed. Changed. I'm still walking this path.

That's exactly why I can walk it with you. The person worth following isn't the one claiming to be finished, it's the one a few switchbacks ahead saying: I know this part of the trail. It almost broke me. Come on.

My partner Avi Nimmer is a trauma-informed nervous-system coach. Together we built the week we wish someone had built for us, with healers we've personally trained and healed with for years. Hand-selected. Real credentials, real clients, real healing histories.

Questions

FAQ

Do I need yoga or breathwork experience?

None. Every practice is taught from zero, and everything is invitation — never obligation.

Is this co-ed?

Yes. Men and women, 8 people total per cohort.

What about flights?

You book your own flights to Chiang Mai (CNX). We meet you at arrivals and handle every single thing after that — transport, meals, sessions, cabins — until we drop you back at the airport.

Is there alcohol?

No — this is an alcohol-free container for the week. Your nervous system will thank you.

How fit do I need to be?

If you can walk 30 minutes, you're fine. Everything scales to you.

What does joining the waitlist commit me to?

Nothing. No deposit, no obligation. You get first access and early-bird pricing when seats open. When they're gone, they're gone — 8 per cohort.
