Are you ready to take your Somatica training to the next level by practicing all the embodied, experiential, and touch-based tools you’ve learned and getting real-time feedback?
Or, maybe you’re interested in connecting with the beautiful Somatica community to bond, network, and bask in that deepened limbic resonance that happens when we’re all in the same space?
Join the 2026 Somatica Immersion Retreat, and you will experience it all — and more! You’ll not only leave as a more skilled sex and relationship coach, but also gain lifelong friendships and memories.
What Will You Learn and Practice?
At this four-day, in-person immersion retreat, you’ll dive deep into the joy and playfulness of intimacy by learning how to:
- Navigate boundaries (yours and your clients’) during in-person coaching
- Create a warm, safe environment to help your clients practice sensual touch and learn the touch-based tools of seduction
- Explore your Hottest Sexual Movie — and help your clients do the same
- Communicate clearly around boundaries and consent, so you can make sure your clients are enthusiastically participating in any touch-based exercises
- Work through and share whatever arises emotionally for your clients and yourself when touch is involved
- Tackle any possible triggers as they arise
- Step into your erotic confidence and pleasure when coaching face-to-face
- Explore your growing edges and gain valuable insights offered by your fellow Somatica practitioners
Who Is It For? You’ll also have time to network, make new personal and professional connections, and nurture old ones.
- Somatica coaches who want to experience personal growth in the sex and relationship realm.
- Somatica graduates interested in cultivating relationships with the Somatica community.
- Somatica coaches who want to get in-depth, hands-on practice in the Somatica Method.
Who Can Join? The Immersion retreat is available to all Somatica graduates and students.
