Deposits/ Registration(required)

If your expression of interest aligns with our requirements, we will conduct an interview. If we offer you a space in a retreat, we will hold your space for seven days pending receipt of a deposit equal to one-third of the retreat cost. If we do not receive your deposit within seven days, we will offer the space to another applicant. Once your deposit is paid, your retreat registration is in place. This deposit is non-refundable. The balance of the retreat cost is due 60 days prior to the start of the retreat and is also non-refundable once paid. If you cancel within 60 days of the retreat, or do not attend, you forfeit the full amount paid, with no refund or credit. Full terms, including how retreat credit works if you need to withdraw more than 60 days out, are available in our Return Policy (see the website footer). You are acknowledging below that you have read and agree to these terms.

LECTURE SERIES ⌖ MONTHLY SESSIONS THROUGH MARCH 2027

Architecture & Dynamics of the Living Autonomic Nervous System

RESERVE A SEAT →

A deep dive into the intellectual history of autonomic science, this lecture series reaches back to the origins of the field nearly 2,000 years ago in ancient Rome, exploring how category errors in its foundations have infiltrated the modern view of the nervous system. Asks the big questions – why do you have a nervous system? What is stress? What is wellbeing? Redraws the neuro-anatomical maps of your autonomic nervous system from first principles. Modifies how we understand the ways that they coordinate and de-coordinate. Breaks the stasis in the Polyvagal Controversy.

Yearlong Autonomics Practicum

LEARN MORE →

Our deepest yearlong training in the art & science of Autonomics. The deepest dive into our pedagogical model: neural cartography, transformation of the ANS, autonomic tracking. For practitioners interested in centralizing the living nervous system in their practice.

Retreats & Residential Trainings

VIEW DATES →

From trainings at our headquarters Northern California (45 minutes NW of San Francisco), to Omega Institute for Holistic Studies (Gabriel is faculty), to trainings at our new hosting venue in Northwest Italy (fly into Milan).
