In this intimate conversation Rebecca shares how somatic psychotherapy is a holistic approach that integrates the mind and body in the therapeutic process. Rather than focusing solely on thoughts and feelings, this method encourages clients to tune into their bodily sensations. As Rebecca explains, "we spend a lot of time with clients using the wisdom of the body," recognizing that physical sensations can be gateways to understanding deeper emotional experiences."

The theme of the retreat was Awakening to Peace in Challenging Times and how through his own embodiment, Eckhart Tolle shows us how to deepen our presence. He teaches us that the ego is just a false identification with our thoughts and forms. It leads us to believe that our worth is tied to external things—money, followers, approval. But what if we could break free from that? When we stop attaching our happiness to these thoughts, we can actually experience the present moment. 🌟 It’s about shifting from the ‘doing’ state to the ‘being’ state—connecting with our true self and the world around us.
