Details of this retreat
Shift from survival mode to sovereign presence.
The Evolve Earth Somatic Protocol Intensive is a 4-day structural intervention for the modern nervous system. In an age of digital saturation and constant "fight-or-flight" triggers, this retreat offers a physiological sanctuary. Utilizing the rugged volcanic energy of the Honolulu coast, we provide the tools to transition your body from high-beta stress into the restorative parasympathetic state.
This is a science-backed wellness immersion focusing on Vagal Toning and Somatic Discharge—moving beyond "thinking" about stress and into the physical release of it.
The Somatic Protocol Includes:
Vagus Nerve Tuning: Guided exercises utilizing sound, breath, and temperature (cold-plunge integration) to stimulate the primary nerve responsible for your body's relaxation response.
The "Somatic Shake-Off": Guided tremoring and non-linear movement sessions designed to discharge accumulated physical tension and restore muscular fluidity.
"Blue Mind" Breathwork: Cliffside sessions at China Walls designed to synchronize your respiratory rhythm with the ocean’s surge, lowering cortisol and increasing cognitive clarity.
Proprioceptive Awareness: Mindful movement workshops that help you "re-map" your body, shifting from mental loops to physical grounding.
Adrenal Support Nutrition: A 4-day Ayurvedic protocol of mineral-rich juices and grounding raw foods specifically chosen to support adrenal recovery and stable energy.
The Goal: You will depart with a "re-tuned" nervous system and a higher capacity for stress resilience. You aren't just relaxing; you are upgrading the hardware of your body to handle the demands of your world.
