The Atman Team

Our team of experienced, trauma-informed facilitators is here to support you before, during, and after the retreat. Each team member brings deep expertise in somatic psychology, plant medicine, and holistic wellness to ensure your journey is safe, meaningful, and deeply impactful.

Safety & Support:

Your safety is our top priority. We create an environment that prioritizes physical and emotional well-being by integrating three key elements:

1. A setting that fosters a felt sense of safety.
2. Opportunities to connect with your authentic self.
3. Support from a caring and experienced team.

Before the retreat, we’ll schedule a screening call to understand your needs and ensure readiness for the experience. Our goal is to build trust and provide unwavering support every step of the way.

Your Journey, Your Way

While our team offers expert guidance, we honor your unique needs and autonomy. Every element of your retreat is optional, allowing you to engage in a way that feels right for you. This is your time to rediscover your truth and awaken to new possibilities.
