athera healing sabbatical 

3 or 6 - Month Trauma Healing Immersion

A somatic + ceremonial trauma healing sabbatical.

❋ Trauma Processing
❋ Lifestyle Rebuilding

A structured container for nervous system repair, somatic restoration, and sacred reconnection

These programs are designed for people who need time away from daily life to truly heal, rather than trying to heal while remaining inside the same environments that created their trauma. All Sabbatical work is held in Sedona, AZ and must be booked three-six months in advance. Emergency situations are considered.

❋ Somatic Restoration

We blend guided moments, open exploration, and space to reflect—so the experience feels both focused and fluid.

❋ Nervous System Regulation

Connection is a core part of the process. You’ll learn just as much from the group as from the content itself.

❋ Embodiment Practices

Led by experienced guides who know how to hold space, encourage participation, and keep things moving with purpose.

❋ Spiritual Reconnection

Our events prioritize comfort, safety, and respect—so you can show up as you are and fully engage in the process.
