June 2024 Regulate & Restore

Stress is real.
Bend it to your will.

On Saturday, June 22, 2024, 20 incredible humans joined for a sold-out Regulate and Restore Micro Retreat—a half-day immersion in nervous system mastery, somatic practices, and genuine human connection.   I co-hosted this event with psychotherapist Jennifer Pinkerton.   This micro retreat was designed to help participants upgrade their lives—mind, body, and connections.

If you’ve ever felt like stress is running the show, this retreat offered a powerful alternative:   Master stress and activate your true potential.

 

What We Explored

Each segment of the day was intentionally crafted to help participants understand stress and explore their relationship with it in a healthy way.

 Trauma-Informed Teaching & Nervous System Tools

Jennifer Pinkerton opened the retreat with a powerful session on how we respond to trauma and stress—then shared tools for emotional grounding, somatic release, and real-world resilience. Her guidance set a strong foundation for all that followed.

🏞 Using Water Movement to Challenge Perceived Limitations

Next, we went into the pool to take advantage of the water as a tool to safely challenge perceived mental and physical limits.  Participants experienced a 60 minute water workout with components above and below the water. 

🔥❄️ Contrast Therapy: Ice + Heat Reset

We introduced contrast therapy as a core component of the experience—alternating between the cold plunge and sauna to help regulate the nervous system, support recovery, and build resilience. This powerful sequence offered both deep relaxation and energizing clarity.

🤝 Celebration + Connection

We finished the retreat with a  celebratory champagne toast (+ sparkling cider non alcoholic option) + time for connection.
