So much more than rest and relaxation.
The Rēset Intensive is a 5 day introduction to tools for nervous system regulation to improve physical and mental wellbeing.
The nervous system is the connection between the mind and body. When it is dysregulated (due to previous life experiences), our sleep, hormones, digestion, cognitive function, reactivity, performance and more are affected. We can’t separate mind and body, in fact trying to separate the mind from the body and even separating each of the parts of the body from each other led to a lot of frustration with the current medical system and the impetus for starting this program.
The program takes a systems approach to reversing the sympathetic dominant state (chronic activation of the flight/flight/freeze/fawn response) by addressing the physical, mental, emotional, nutritional and existential factors that affect the nervous system.
Over 3000 people have complete the program with transformational results. Their words explain it better than this blurb.
Not another wellness retreat
There are so many wellness offerings these days. We make sure the Rēset program is the real deal. No over-priced passive treatments, no woo-woo, not a contrast therapy place, no bro-science. Just a research-backed, multi-modal program that combines Neuroscience, Psychology and Functional Medicine to create lasting change.
Anti-Inflammatory Diet
A diet and supplement protocol designed to reduce inflammation, reverse deficiencies and boost neurotransmitter production.
Heart Rate Variability Training
Up-train the parasympathetic state to lower the baseline of stress, reduce overwhelm and enhance recovery and emotional regulation.
Compression Suit
To improve circulation and lymphatic drainage to get rid of cellular waste and enhance regeneration.
Sympathetic Dominance Protocol
A psychosomatic stress reduction method that combines various modalities to identify and remove emotional blocks that express as physical symptoms.
Photobiomodulation
Red light and Near Infrared Light of specific wavelengths interact with the mitochondria to boost ATP production (more energy).
PEMF & Infrared
Muscle relaxation, improved circulation and ion transportation to stimulate the body's natural recovery process.
Functional Movement
With resistance to improve muscle tone and coordination, mitochondrial function and neurotransmitter production.
Trauma Release Exercises (TRE)
Restore the body's natural mechanism for releasing deep muscular patterns of stress, tension, and trauma.
Cold Thermogenesis
Nervous system regulation training and helps to reduce inflammation, boost metabolism and improve immune function.
Nature therapy
The healing effects of nature; grounding and negative ions from waterfalls, beaches, jungle with low-impact, endurance exercise.
Drop-in therapy
Bite-sized sessions with a certified mental health professional to practice emotional processing as the opportunities arise.
Art & Cooking Classes
Encouraging creativity, authenticity and play. Classes include painting, macrame, chocolate-making and a Mexican cooking class.
Temazcal
An ancient Mesoamerican ritual using heat, steam, herbs and chanting for purification of the mind and body.
Bodywork
Boost parasympathetic response, reduce tension, improve circulation and lymphatic drainage.
