Join us for a radical, healing, transforming, life changing experience. Through a process that will incorporate Yoga, Embodied Nonviolent Communication, Polyvagal practices, and other trauma-informed somatic modalities, we will be able to befriend our body in a brand new alive and compassionate way.

Inhabiting our body and inner world in a more forgiving, joyful, enlightened way is actually a matter of re-learning to:
“Be lovingly at home with ourselves.”
Cat McCarthy is an international yoga trainer, Nonviolent Communication (NVC) facilitator, and breast cancer “surthrivor.”
Via her own healing work with Compassionate Inquiry Therapy, Polyvagal practices, and other trauma-informed somatic modalities, Cat will lead us on a journey through our physical, mental, and emotional bodies. We will discover, embody, and release layers of stress and embedded tension, so the issues in our tissues can move through our system, finding more harmony and balance, both on and off the mat.
This retreat will prepare us on a cellular level for the compassionate week ahead with her teacher Dr. Gabor Maté.
