Resting Deeply
A residential retreat for those who crave rest, community, and the freedom to simply be.
In a world that demands increasingly urgency, rest is an act of resistance—and a birthright. Dawn and Coral invite you to a retreat designed exclusively for 2SLGBTQI+ and BIPOC individuals—a safer, affirming space to unwind, reconnect, and experience deep rest.
Led by Buddhist teachers and Somatic Experiencing Practitioners Dawn Mauricio and Coral Short, this retreat offers a unique blend of wisdom and somatic practices to release stored tension and cultivate profound rest. Together, we'll explore down-regulating activities such as vocal toning, intuitive art-making, grounding meditations, self-massage, and a relaxing spa station. Engage in conversations about rest, take slow nature walks, and practice co-regulation techniques that foster safety and belonging. Every activity is optional—listen to your body, honor your needs, and set your own pace.
To support true rest, we invite you to disconnect from the digital world by surrendering your phone at registration. Ample free time is provided for napping, journaling, and quiet reflection.
This retreat is a space to heal, connect, and be centered. It's for those who crave rest, community, and the freedom to simply be.
