About this trip

Welcome to Somatic Waves: a somatics, surf, and self-discovery retreat, curated by Randelle Lusk & Rare Method, nestled within the serene ambiance of the Sansara Wellness Resort in Cambutal, Panama. Set against the backdrop of Panama's paradisiacal coastline, adorned with swaying palm trees, captivating sunsets, the melodic symphony of ocean waves, and powdery sand beaches, this retreat guarantees an unforgettable experience.


Immerse yourself in the embrace of nature's splendor as you step into a sacred space where the relentless pace of everyday life fades away, allowing you to reconnect with your body and rediscover your authentic self. Our retreat offers an extraordinary blend of Rare Method's somatic-informed practices, weaving together mindfulness, movement, breath work, and self-inquiry. Picture a fusion of flowing yoga sequences intertwined with therapeutic movements, liberating cathartic releases, powerful breath work, and purposeful pause—all meticulously crafted to facilitate a profound recalibration of your nervous system, enabling you to embody your true essence and reclaim your unique existence.

I loved this retreat. The people were amazing, the venue was gorgeous and even the food was far beyond expectations. Randelle is a skilled facilitator and her Rare Method movement has created a lasting shift that I can still feel after the retreat. Thank you all 💜

It's difficult the put into words how beautiful this retreat was, but that's how the most awe inspiring things leave you in life - speechless. From the retreat location, the food, the laughs, the cries, the pool, the people and of course our retreat facilitator, Randelle. This retreat will be a memory forever embedded in my soul.
By Hannah T for Raro Santuário Retreat - Londre Special Offer on Sep 10, 2024
This was an amazing trip, and something I wish I had found years ago. Randelle and team ran a great retreat with structure but enough flexibility to also feel like you could relax into the week. If Somatic work is of interest to you, Randelle helps you to wade into it slowly and meaningfully.
