Why We Do This Work
Delving into the depths of human consciousness and well-being, Ātman embraces a holistic approach to healing and transformation. Our understanding of Ātman as the innermost essence of a person, the soul, inspires our approach of blending modern psychotherapy with ancient practices, crafting a truly unique and transformative experience. At Ātman Retreats, we honor both the latest developments in neuroscience and the wisdom of Indigenous rituals and ceremonies.
By weaving together elements from psychotherapy, trauma reprocessing, mindfulness, embodiment practices, and ancient ceremonies, our retreats offer guests a comprehensive, holistic, and compassionate pathway towards self-realization, connection and spiritual enlightenment.
Our commitment to nurturing mind, body, and soul is reflected not only in our therapeutic modalities but also in our pristine, biodiverse natural setting, farm-to-table cuisine, and experienced clinical team. At Ātman, we are not just offering wellness; we are pioneering Wellness 2.0, an unparalleled experience that harmonizes modern science with ancient wisdom to guide guests on their journey of rebalancing, transformation, and awakening.
While we offer our unwavering support and trust in the transformative power of this process, it’s ultimately your path to walk and your inner guidance to heed. Your unique sovereignty serves as a guiding beacon, empowering you to shape an experience that resonates authentically with your being. We honor the richness of your individuality and your innate capacity for healing by inviting you to embrace your truths, establish your boundaries, and set the rhythm of your journey.
Our Approach
We believe in placing an emphasis on holistic healing. We support proper preparation before the retreat, somatic processing during the retreat, and integration during and after the retreat.
Our preparation programming includes psycho-education therapy, therapeutic frameworks, and an integrative approach to healing through both individual and group sessions. The bulk of our preparation and integration sessions are offered virtually within a confidential container. Digital content helps our guests receive appropriate psychoeducation and daily tools based in mindfulness, embodiment, and heightened states of awareness.
All of our retreats include at least one group preparation and integration session, scheduled roughly two weeks before the initiation of the retreat and two weeks after its completion. Advanced programming offers packages of two, four, or six individual wellness sessions. These sessions are facilitated by licensed therapists, coaches, and expert healers.
Individual sessions allow our guests to dive more deeply into their unique story, trauma history, and wish list for their optimal future. The advantages of group sessions are that they allow for deeper connection within the community, spark meaningful relationships, and help access content that is not otherwise accessed in individual sessions. Individual and group sessions are integral to our programming, preparing guests for retreats and integrating the experience in the months that follow.
Nourishment
Food is medicine and plays an essential role in our healing journey. Guests are welcome to savor our exquisite farm-to-table cuisine, brought to life by our skilled, international chef trained in classic culinary techniques. Our ingredients are sourced from Holos’ organic farm and local growers, ensuring freshness and quality. Each meal is vibrant, nourishing, and thoughtfully prepared to support your healing process.
