A 5-Day Chronic Pain Recovery Retreat: Neuroplasticity, PRT & Yoga on the Beach in Mahahual, Mexico

Vivid Shift: A Neuroscience-Backed Chronic Pain Recovery Retreat
A Foundation for Recovery

The Vivid Shift retreat is a powerful start to your recovery journey.

While PRT is a retraining process that happens over time, this immersive experience provides the ideal environment to shift your perspective and begin the work.

To redefine the journey of pain recovery by bridging the gap between modern neuroscience and the healing power of nature.
Set on pristine, secluded, and tranquil shores, we envision a sanctuary where you can disconnect from the noise of daily life to reconnect with your body. Our goal is to empower you to move from a life of restriction to one of vivid possibility and joy, supported by the rhythm of the ocean and the neuroscience of recovery.

Rebuilding the Connection
Do you feel disconnected from your body? Living with chronic pain often feels like a constant negotiation. You limit your movement to avoid symptoms. You hesitate to make plans. Over time, the relationship with your body shifts from trust to protection.

The Vivid Shift Retreat is an invitation to rebuild that connection. Designed for individuals navigating chronic pain, this retreat offers more than just relaxation—it offers a foundational roadmap to reclaiming your agency. We bridge the gap between modern neuroscience and holistic practices to help you shift from a state of fear to one of neural safety and physical capability.

Our Three-Pillar Approach

We believe true recovery requires addressing the mind, the body, and the nervous system simultaneously. This retreat is a catalyst for your long-term journey, focusing on:

• Foundations of Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT): Guided by an Advanced PRT Practitioner, this is the core of our program. You will learn the new science of pain and gain practical tools to begin retraining your brain. PRT works by restoring an over-active pain control system back to normal. These methods will be tailored to fit your unique symptoms and experiences, ensuring you leave with a personalized roadmap to continue your practice at home.
• Nervous System Regulation: Through Breathwork, Yoga, Yoga Nidra, and somatic practices we train the brain to calm the nervous system.
A Sanctuary for the Senses Healing requires the right environment. Our retreat takes place on a beautiful, remote beach. Away from the over-stimulation of city life, the rhythm of the ocean becomes a partner in your recovery. This secluded setting allows your nervous system to down-regulate, making the work we do in our sessions deeper and more effective.
• Functional Movement: Movement is medicine, but we understand that starting can feel uncertain. Our Rehabilitation Movement Specialist guides you through gentle yet powerful isometric holds and intentional movements that prioritize safety and control. These techniques allow you to build strength while staying within your comfort zone. Together, we will show your body—and your nervous system—that you are strong and capable of moving with confidence and playfulness once again.
