Nervous System Reset Wellness Retreats

Hi there, I hope this message is finding you well! Welcome to Vikara Wellness retreats, where we specialize in:

Introducing you to yoga philosophy and it’s ancient practices (yoga, meditation, breathwork, kriya, mantra, mudras, bandhas) to connect you to the health of your subtle body to physically reject disease, to mentally rid your mind of stagnated thoughts or prejudices, and to unite the body with the mind, and the mind with the soul.
Spiritual ceremony (releasing, rebirthing, transmuting) to set intentions and sacred space for deep healing of the fluctuations of the mind (correct understanding, false understanding, imagination, sleep, and memory), body (pain, numbness, disassociation), and negative emotions (anger, sadness, fear, guilt, jealousy, shame, etc.), so the light of your soul can come through to be seen, felt, and understood.
Transformational group and personal coaching (holistic, trauma-informed, spiritual, recovery, re-patterning, nutritional, etc) to guide, reflect, motivate, and empower you to be the very best you can be in this moment.
Therapeutic tremoring for nervous system regulation (tension, stress, anxiety, chronic pain, ptsd, and the effects of trauma) so you can release the negative energetic experiences, and events of your life that is embedded in your tissues for vibrant health.

We believe that working in this way, along with being present in a simple and minimalistic nature environment can speed up the process towards personal transformation, whatever that may look like for you.

What makes our retreats a Nervous System Reset?

First and foremost our recovery & holistic wellness retreats in Yelapa, Mexico give you the set and setting to completely surrender into the essence of nature’s womb.

You enter into a small fishing village where there are no cars, heavy pollution, chain restaurants, or the need to wear shoes to walk, well, unless you have sensitive feet. 😉

The retreat center is located in the jungle along the river, just five walking minutes from the open, and beautiful ocean of Yelapa, giving you the ability to truly tap into the grounding energy of mountains and jungle that surround you.

At Los Naranjos eco jungle retreat center, you will connect to the simplicity of life through minimalism, disconnecting you from the idea that everything needs to look a certain way, be a certain way, and feel a certain way to be enjoyed in your life.

This eco camp-like environment will transport you back into being a kid again, where only the simple joys and connection to nature mattered.

With several traditional Mexican palapas on four lush acres of natural gardens, Los Naranjos offers the ideal setting for self exploration through connecting deeply to native mexican land, giving you instant peace as it embraces you. You will be surrounded by the sounds of nature, and incased in the peaceful essence of silence.

This environment begins to psychologically lower your stress levels of hyperactivity, tapping into signals of safety to rest and digest. To let go and reset.

All accommodations are rustic, unique and comfortable, with thatched roofs that harmonize with the surroundings.
Open walls to let in the cool jungle breeze. There is one closed wall room option if that is of interest.
Beds are suspended from the ceiling and have mosquito nettings.
Fresh safe drinking water is provided at bedside.
Bath facilities have rosewood countertops, ornate tile sinks and hot water. Each single room casita has their own shared-bathroom casita that you will share with one other person.
Gardens are bursting with tropical flowers and fruits, and fish ponds.
Waterfall falling into a beautiful, natural swimming pool. (Available during the months of July - December)

You will love sleeping in their traditional palapa eco-casitas. They will bring you directly in touch with nature's elements in a safe secure way.

Therapeutic tremoring for Nervous System Regulation

At all of our recovery & holistic wellness retreats, one of our backbones to the foundational structure & practices that you will learn towards healing, is therapeutic tremoring to assist in regulating your nervous system.

We believe this to be a potent part of the healing process for many reasons, and could be the very reason why you decide to come and enjoy our offerings.

You will be taught and guided by a Shaking Medicine embodiment teacher, who has had trainings in TRE, and in Shaking Medicine.

The classes comprise of embodiment movements that have been created to release tension, stress, anxiety, ptsd and the effects of trauma from the body by triggering neurogenic tremors/pulsations/vibrations(a natural human response) to discharge stress, releasing the fight/flight cycle that we didn't allow happen & is being stored in the body.

This type of somatic based practice is to reset the nervous system, bringing it closer to rest/digest, by working with the physical alchemy of the body. Reducing any cortisol/adrenaline charge that the system may be experiencing, bringing you into homeostasis.

Why do we do this? To balance the triune brain/body connection, so we can experience the stressors of life in a more balanced way. Not having our decisions be souly driven by our emotions, survival brain, or thinking mind.

Living in a chronically dysregulated state can lead to compromised immunity, poor sleep patterns, challenged digestion, difficulty concentrating, strained relationships and more.

Calm your nervous system, and let go of sympathetic activation.

Therapeutic Tremoring is a somatic based practice that focuses on regulating the nervous system by working to release deep layers of muscular tension due to tension, stress, anxiety, trauma, and PTSD, that everyday exercise isn’t able to release.

This long held tension could be effecting your mental, emotional, and physical state of being, not realizing that you are living each day in a state of chronic stress/hyperarousal.

Just like how animals tremor and shake to regulate their nervous system from a stressful event, we too need to embrace this natural response.

We have grown in a society where tremors and shaking is something that we want to suppress by obtaining some kind of composure, when it should be a part of our natural way in moving through what just happened from a physical level, directly working with the mind/body connection.

In the week you will:

✨Tap into soft ecstatic movements and shapes to guide the body into spontaneous connections of release to naturally and somatically let go of aches, pains, tension, inflammation, stress, anxiety, suppressed emotions & trauma.

✨Transform the subtle body into releasing any stuck, stagnant, or patterned energy from the joints, muscles, and autonomic nervous system for healing.

✨Bring the autonomic nervous system into a state of homeostasis through involuntary shaking, quaking, vibrations, or tremoring through different parts of the body, breaking through deep muscular tension that is embedded in the body from anxiety, tension, stress, trauma, or ptsd.

✨Learn how to walk away with this knowledge to be able to understand how you can intertwine this type of somatic based practice within any kind of physical practice you do.

✨Understand the importance of the “pause”, and how it connects you into understanding your body’s presence.

✨Be embraced with deep rest for integration, as I work with crystal sound bowls, and my voice, pulling in ancestral energy and the frequency of mantra.
