2027 Immersion CE Retreat

A 7-Day Training & Renewal Experience for Licensed Therapists

January 23–30, 2027
Nosara, Costa Rica | Casas Kismet
Earn 20+ Continuing Education Credits
Limited to 15 Therapists

This is both advanced clinical training and intentional restoration.

Over seven immersive days, you will deepen your trauma treatment framework, refine your integrative approach, and strengthen your ability to work with complexity — while stepping away from the pace and pressure of daily practice to experience meaningful rest, embodied healing practices, and nervous system reset.

This is not a conference.

It is an immersion.

It is structured learning woven into a retreat environment designed to reduce burnout and renew your professional clarity.

You Were Trained to Diagnose. Not to Sustain Yourself.

Most continuing education events are information-heavy and nervous-system neutral.

You sit.
You listen.

You return home with notes — and the same level of exhaustion.

But trauma work demands more than intellectual understanding.

It requires somatic fluency.
Attachment awareness.
Internal clarity.

Capacity to regulate yourself while holding intensity.

And it requires restoration.

This retreat was created to bridge that gap — to offer rigorous clinical depth within an environment that actively supports the therapist’s own nervous system and professional renewal.

What Makes Immersion Different

This Is Not Just Training. It’s Integration.

Our Advanced Integrative Clinical Framework

This week is not just a retreat. And it is not just a training. It’s a full professional immersion into trauma therapy as it is meant to be truly embodied...

Stabilization and nervous system safety
Somatic interventions you can use Monday morning
Breathwork training for clinical work
Attachment, complex trauma, and meaning-making
Ethical, gold-standard ketamine-assisted psychotherapy foundations
Therapist sustainability + embodiment
Integration as the intervention

We will be offering 23 Continuing Education hours across the week, including:

Foundations of Trauma-Informed Clinical Care
Trauma as Nervous System Dysregulation
Somatic Safety & Resourcing
Breathwork and Trauma Release
Complex Trauma & Attachment
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy Introduction
Sequencing Trauma Work & Therapist Sustainability

For those who medically qualify, there will be an optional supervised KAP practicum dyad experience as part of the retreat week, meaning approved clinicians will be able to gain the practicum experience of being both a KAP therapist and a KAP client! As always, held to the highest ethical and clinical standards.

This is seven days of depth — not seven days of lecture.

Enrollment is capped at 15 therapists to preserve:

Clinical rigor
Meaningful discussion
Case consultation
Psychological safety
Intimate professional community

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at info@getcenteredwellness.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Do I have to participate in Ketamine-Assisted Therapy (KAT)?

No. Ketamine-Assisted Therapy is completely optional. Participants may engage in EMDR, breathwork, integration practices, and excursions without participating in ketamine sessions. Those interested in KAT must complete both psychological and medical screening and be formally approved.

Can I mix and match which modalities I participate in?

Yes. This retreat is intentionally flexible. You and the Transformation Guides will collaboratively determine which elements are appropriate and supportive for you during the week.

Is this retreat only for people with diagnosed trauma or mental health conditions?

Not at all! While many participants come seeking relief from anxiety, depression, or trauma, this retreat is appropriate for individuals seeking deep personal growth, emotional clarity, and nervous system regulation.

Will there be downtime?

Absolutely. Spaciousness and rest are core elements of this retreat. The schedule intentionally includes free time for rest, reflection, beach or pool time, journaling, and optional bodywork such as massage.

Can I attend alone?

Yes. Many participants attend on their own. The retreat is designed to be welcoming, supportive, and connective, while still honoring privacy and personal space. Other guests bring a friend or relative! All are welcome!

Is this a group therapy retreat?

This retreat includes group-based experiences such as breathwork, ketamine assisted therapy, and sharing circles; however, all EMDR therapy is conducted in private, one-on-one sessions.

What happens if I put down a deposit but I’m not approved to attend?

If you are not medically or psychologically cleared to participate for the retreat as a whole, your deposit will be refunded in full. Because of the value and variety of retreat options, you will not be refunded if you are not eligible for the Ketamine Assisted Therapy portion of the retreat only.

Is travel insurance required?

Yes. Travel and health insurance are strongly encouraged to protect against unexpected disruptions. Details and recommendations will be provided upon registration.

What happens after the retreat ends?

Participants leave with greater insight, regulation, and clarity. Ongoing integration support after the retreat is recommended and can be discussed with the team.
