Retreat 1: The Physical Gate – Rooting & Structure

🌱 Retreat 1: The Physical Gate – Rooting & Structure

📅 27 September 2025 | Tsitsikamma on Sea

Your body is the first home of your identity. Before anything else can shift, you must feel rooted, safe, and grounded. This first retreat in the 5 Gates of Becoming series invites you to release old habits, limitations, and autopilot patterns held in the body — and step into the embodied, present, intentional version of yourself.

Through movement, breath, ritual, and reflection, you’ll build a strong foundation for your transformation journey.

What You’ll Experience

✨ Gentle Yoga Arrival – land in your body with presence
✨ Ice Bath Reset – activate your nervous system, surrender, and release resistance
✨ Whale Meditation – reconnect with your inner worth and trust in life’s flow
✨ Somatic Practices – shift stagnant energy and embody grounded new patterns
✨ Identity Journaling – map your old autopilot self vs. your chosen intentional self
✨ Integration Meditations – anchor your new identity into daily routines
✨ Community & Reflection – share the circle, be witnessed, and leave resourced

Every part of the day is designed to help you move from:
Stuck → Grounded Presence
