About your trip

Rooted in Zen Retreat | Little Corn Island, Nicaragua – April 8–12, 2026


What if your body isn’t broken; just stuck in survival mode?


You’re doing all the “right” things…Trying to rest, trying to slow down, trying to feel better.

But you still feel:

  • Wired but exhausted

  • Overstimulated and overwhelmed

  • Disconnected from your body

  • Stuck in cycles of stress you can’t seem to break

That’s not a lack of effort. It’s a nervous system that hasn’t felt safe in a long time.


This is where that begins to change.

This retreat isn’t about escaping your life for a few days. It’s about learning how to come back to your body in a way that actually lasts.


Learn from Someone Who Has Lived This Work

Alyssa, founder of Rooted in Zen, didn’t arrive at this work through trends or theory.

Her approach was built through over 20 years of navigating chronic illness, searching for real answers when conventional paths fell short.

Through that journey, she developed a deeply grounded method combining:

  • Nervous system regulation

  • Breathwork + mindful movement

  • Herbal and lifestyle-based healing

  • Practical tools for everyday balance


Now, she guides others through the same process; helping you move out of survival mode and into a more regulated, supported state.


Set in One of the Most Peaceful Places You’ll Ever Experience

Hosted at The Lighthouse Retreat on the untouched shores of Little Corn Island…

No cars. No noise. No constant stimulation.

Just ocean air, jungle stillness, and space for your body to finally exhale.


✨ This Experience Is For You If:

  • You feel burnt out but can’t fully “switch off”

  • You’re tired of feeling anxious, wired, or constantly on edge

  • You’ve tried wellness practices but nothing seems to stick

  • You’re craving a deeper, more sustainable reset

  • You want tools you can actually take home and use in real life

No experience needed—just a willingness to slow down and reconnect.


What You’ll Experience

  • Daily yoga + breathwork to regulate your nervous system

  • Nourishing, plant-based meals made with fresh island ingredients

  • Massage therapy + ocean-based healing experiences

  • Gentle movement and embodiment practices

  • Nervous system workshops with real-life tools

  • Nature walks, jungle hikes, and a true digital detox


This Isn’t About Temporary Relaxation

It’s About Lasting Change


You won’t just leave feeling better. You’ll leave understanding how to support your body moving forward.
