This 3-part retreat process includes a very thorough, intentional preparation process and post-retreat reflection and integration process, to help maximize the positive change and growth you'll get out of it.
Fill in the Pre-Retreat Questionnaire and then we'll have a “Retreat Pre-Visualization & Customization” 75-minute Online Session, a week or so before you come, to gain greater clarity & focus, and customize the program together to best meet your specific needs & desires.
Spend 2+ days with me, here at our place in Freeport Maine, engaging in a customized program combining guided embodiment experiences, coaching, conversation, nature walks, alone-time, and sharing meals together. You'll arrive on a Friday afternoon; we'll start the retreat with an early dinner, and you'll finish late afternoon on Sunday.
After a few days home, you'll complete a Post-Retreat Reflection Form and then we'll have a follow-up 75-min. “Reflection, Integration, and Next-Steps” Session. This will help you to further integrate the discoveries and experiences of the retreat, and create a clear path towards taking the next steps for further growth & integration.
Most of the growth and change we experience happens gradually—day in and day out. But sometimes, we are graced with profound transformational experiences which, in a very short space of time, way unlock new aspects of our Self and ways of connecting with others and the world. This individual weekend retreat is a chance to have just that: a peak transformational experience. It’s a precious opportunity to step away from the busyness and stresses of your life for a few days, really focus in on your own personal and transpersonal (AKA spiritual) development. it's a chance to receive the extended, personalized guidance that can help you soften through those deeper tensions, and sink down a few layers into the more essential (and effortlessly empowering aspects of your more whole being and inner-knowing.
One of the key benefits of this individual retreat (as opposed to a group retreat or training) is that we work together beforehand to tailor it to best meet your specific needs and desires. In our pre-retreat session, we’ll customize the basic program structure to support your desired focus & outcomes. For examples: Are there traumatic experiences you know you’re needing to more fully process? Are there Transpersonal, more Unitive embodied states you’d like to deepen and integrate into your daily life? Is there clearer sense of deeper, soul-aligned purpose & focus you feel called to clarify and step into more? In our pre-retreat session, we’ll customize the basic program structure to support your main desired focus & outcomes.
When ‘going deep’ it’s important to engage in successive waves, giving our bodymind time to rest and integrate in between. Our main activities will consist of discussion, embodiment-based coaching, UZAZU movement & state-activation practice, dancing, walking and being in the surrounding nature, some guided and solo meditation, and private time for rest, reflection, and journaling. All these activities will be customized to suit your specific preferences, needs and desires. We also have an infrared sauna and jacuzzi bath here at your disposal, if you wish. Again—while I’ll propose a base schedule, we’ll then customize it to suit your specific preferences and desires.
Connection and the quality and depth of our interpersonal exchange is a key catalyst of growth. Having the opportunity to be seen and received at a deep level can be a powerful experience. And it’s one of the most important and potent opportunities that a private retreat such as this can offer. How we allow ourselves to show up and connect—beyond the typical constraints of our normal, more conventional social interactions—affords us a unique chance to discover and sink into new ways of experience ourselves and the other. It's also of vital importance that you feel safe and secure, and that personal boundaries will be fully respected, with all the alone time you need to integrate and explore on your own. And finally, you'll also have a post-retreat reflection process and follow-up session to further support the integration of these discoveries back into your life and interactions.
This individualized 1-1 weekend retreat format is for anyone would really like to afford themself the opportunity to accelerate their own embodied personal growth!
I do have two simple ‘pre-requisites’, however, for us engaging together in this format:
1) You are already familiar with UZAZU's 9 Core Modes of Engagement, at a basic level (or you become familiar with them, in advance of the retreat.)
2) You have already done at least three 1-1 Private Sessions with me—either online or in person (or you have at least 3 of the 12 sessions in advance of the retreat, if you opt for the full package, below.)
This helps ensure two things, going into the retreat: You already know that the UZAZU Embodied Intelligence approach works well for you, and you already know the basics of how to do it so we can use it as a shared language & method together. 2) We both already know we can connect & work well together, and that I already know a good amount about you before you arrive.
In other words, we want to be fairly certain in advance that this will indeed be a good fit and a potent experience for you!

What benefits me most is the enormous space Dylan creates in which every aspect of Self (and 'Reality') is honored, valued and explored. It is extremely soul nourishing and life confirming/fulfilling to be seen and to experience myself as a whole, leaving nothing out. Dylan is very gifted in meeting you where you are, fully honoring that, and then working from there to whatever naturally reveals itself to be seen and included.
I specifically recommend the embodied coaching Dylan offers to people who are seeking to integrate wholeness/unity into their moment to moment awareness and actions. People who have a deep sense of unity or oneness and want to have a grounded understanding of how that plays out in (their) life and how they can hold, embody and work with the simplicity-complexity tension of their experience. Dylan is a living example that this is possible and he knows how to open people up for that natural development with a lot of care and love and humor too!
