SUMMARY:Sound & Somatics: Be In Resonance & Listen To The Body
DESCRIPTION:A HALF-DAY RETREAT EXPERIENCE\n  \nYou are invited to join us for this in-person\, half-day retreat of sound\, embodiment\, and rest. \n  \nThrough 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. \n  \nThis 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. \n  \nRETREAT FLOW\n  \nOur time together will be slow and restorative\, featuring somatic practices\, sound healing\, and opportunities to connect and share. Here is a general overview of the day: \n– Welcome: Introduction\, intentions for the day\, and orientation to the land\n– Guided meditation: Grounding and connecting to nature\n– Ambient restful reflection: Journaling and optional ear acupressure\n– 1-hour Sound Bath Immersive Experience: Orlando combines ambient sounds with live innato flute\n– Integration: Somatic practices to integrate a full sense of presence\n– Closing circle: Returning to nature and sharing reflections \n  \n \n  \nTEACHERS\n  \n \n  \nOrlando Carlos Villarraga is a sound artist\, composer\, and musician who blends ancient and modern practices\, integrating organic and digital instruments to create immersive spaces for meditation and reflection. Orlando’s professional journey includes creating two albums in collaboration with MoMA New York\, as part of a research project on human well-being with MindHeart. He also launched a sound meditation and course on “belonging” through MoMA’s educational platform\, which was exhibited at the museum in the winter of 2024. \n  \n  \n  \n \n  \nMaria Tan is a somatic guide\, educator\, and certified Focalizing practitioner whose work centers presence\, inner listening\, and embodied connection. Through gentle\, trauma-informed somatic practices\, she creates spaces that support rest\, grounding\, and reconnection with the body’s wisdom. Her approach honors slowing down and making space for what wants to be seen\, heard\, and felt. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n\n\n \n  \n\nThe health and safety of our guests and staff is a top priority for the Garrison Institute. To attend a retreat or event all guests\, teachers\, and staff are welcome to self-test (at home antigen test is acceptable) within the 48-hour window prior to arriving for a retreat on site\, and to bring a 2nd self-test kit when coming on site.
