The Experience
Five days of real work in a real place with real people. No spiritual bypassing, no Instagram wellness. We go into your body: your fascia, your nervous system, your patterns – and we meet what's been waiting there. Between sessions, you rest. You eat food that was growing yesterday. You drink water that doesn't acidify the body. You sit in silence or you don't. There's no performance here.
The Sacred Place
We are going to the mountains. Specifically: Tepoztlán, Mexico’s spiritual capital, two hours away from the rush of Mexico City. The venue is entirely ours: a private sanctuary of bamboo, stone, and jungle canopy. We have a massive A-frame shala for the somatic work, and hammocks, pools, and gardens for the integration. The land here has a heavy, holding energy – the environment does half the work for us. You eat your breakfast with the view – and the mountain looks right back at you. You show up, and the land does the rest.
The Somatic Work
Your emotions live in your body and somatics meets you exactly there. Your body holds what your mind can't reach: with tools, knowledge, trauma-informed touch and space for integration, we finally give your body a word.
The tension in your jaw and neck. The breath you shorten under stress. The weight that sits in your chest without a clear reason. That's your body holding a conversation you haven't listened to yet.
We work with that: some of it happens in the shala, some in the open air – sunlight and movement are themselves a medicine. You come as you are and leave with tools you can use for the rest of your life.

Meet the Host
She didn't study the body from a textbook. She learned it by surviving in hers. A certified somatic practitioner, reflector, and Ashlesha rising – Anastasia Artamonova spent her first 30 years in what she calls "combat training": holding more than any body should, healing what no one else could see, and making something beautiful out of it – long before she knew why.
What came out the other side is a rare combination: steady enough to hold space, sharp enough to see what others miss, warm enough to make it feel safe. The kind of presence that makes your nervous system exhale before she's even said a word.
She reads you, meets you where you are, and gives you the tools to stay there – or move forward. People who meet her say the same thing: something shifts when she's in the room. This retreat is that shift, stretched across five days.
