Radical Aliveness Process Group

Are you craving a space to explore your feelings, needs, relationships…

Or want to feel more in tune with your body and your core essence?

A Radical Aliveness Process Group is a dynamic, experiential group that explores emotional, psychological, embodied and energetic patterns to promote personal growth and transformation.

Grounded in principles of embodiment, authenticity, and relational wisdom, participants engage in deep and interpersonal work.

The group environment fosters vulnerability, empowerment, allows individuals to confront limiting beliefs, engage with your truth and cultivate a greater sense of aliveness. Through this process, participants can expand their self awareness, emotional resilience and capacity for authentic connection.

A little about Radical Aliveness:

RA is a path that welcomes all parts of us, explore’s the personal and systemic, and honors complexity.

RA is a non-expert model. Participants are invited to lead, use their voice or body to express themselves, take care of themselves and others.

We work with all levels of human experience - the body, emotions, expression, movement, sensations, thoughts, beliefs, spirit, culture and systems.

We practice self awareness and self responsibility for our impact - past and present.

We aim to open to the full flow of life and life force energy.

We will have agreements and six principles that guide the process:

1. Say yes to everything

2. Knowing I don’t know

3. Honoring multiple perspectives 

4. Cultivate a non-shaming heart 

5. Willingness to be changed 

6. Do your part

There are no rules, but we agree to “Do no harm physically to ourselves, each other or the room.”

A Process Group becomes a community. It’s a powerful place to build relationships, to receive and give support, to feel kinship…

Or to touch into and move through:

• Stuck feelings or places in your life

• Protective or defensive patterns, or resistance.

• Trauma that’s stored in our bodies

• Relational dynamics that get in the way of love

This will be a total experiment.

We’ll be co-creating the group together (your voice matters!)

I am “knowing that I don’t know” everything there is about facilitating (and never will), I’m constantly learning with you. 

I believe at our core, we are sacred, worthy, luminous beings. We are love, and our love is for giving (and forgiving)

We all have beautiful gifts to share, what are yours?

Couples Medicine Retreats

Are You Ready to Heal Your Relationship at The Deepest Levels?

Our Couples Medicine Retreat is a deeply immersive, regenerative weekend designed for committed couples seeking to reconnect, reset, and co-create more intimacy, collaboration, and mutual support.
Hosted at HeartLab in San Francisco’s Mission District, this isn’t a getaway—it’s containered transformation.

Next Retreat Coming Soon!

What makes it uniquely our experience:

• Intentionally small group size, offering shared support alongside private couple space.

• Somatic excellence with Radical Aliveness, AEDP, EFT, and experiential techniques integrating body, heart, and relational dynamics.

• Deep reconnection workshops, movement, rituals, channeling and guided processing tailored to relational patterns and wounds.

• Inclusion of restorative practices, nourishing meals, grounding, and time for integration.

• Safe space for truth + open hearts: a blend of truthful witnessing, holding patterns, inquiry, and breakthrough.

Who this is for:

• Couples tired of repeating the same conflicts

• Those yearning for embodied connection

• Couples considering deeper commitment—but not without more emotional safety

• Couples ready to feel seen and held in both their pain and potential
