• Rewire Your Nervous System – Reanna Costa’s Rewire is an incredible weekend dedicated to sensing and feeling into the vital system that ultimately controls our health. All of the ways we interact with the world; both consciously and unconsciously. Based on Somatic Experiencing (SE), we learn to feel into the body in a way that we have long learned to tune out as a result of difficult, adverse or traumatic experiences we have come up against in our lives. In this, we begin to give ourselves permission to feel what has not been felt, to turn towards what we have turned away from and to be with all that we have not been able to be with in the past.
