You are invited to join us for this in-person, half-day retreat of sound, embodiment, and rest.
Through somatic practice, connection with the land, and an immersive sound bath experience, musician Orlando Villarraga and somatic practitioner Maria Tan create space for grounding, recalibration, and inner listening.
This gathering is an invitation to slow down, settle into ourselves, and attune to what emerges when we allow ourselves to listen to the language of the body.
