Coming Home to the Body: A Weeklong Online Embodiment Retreat
This isn’t just mindfulness. It’s not about watching your breath or observing your body like it’s a stranger in the room. This is a direct experience of being in your body—of feeling your entire being from the inside out.
🧭 What Makes This Different?
This is not body scan meditation.
This is not a somatic trend with clever names.
This is not about fixing what’s broken.
This is about uncovering what’s already whole.
Led by Jennifer Finch, a psychotherapist and meditation teacher who blends nonduality, trauma recovery, and 25+ years of embodied practice—you will be safely guided into the space within yourself where healing doesn’t need effort. Just contact.
💌 Ready to Come Home to Your Body?
Let’s begin again—not from the head, but from the ground you stand on.
Rooted in the Realization Process and the principles of nonduality, this gentle, powerful week is for anyone who feels disconnected, overwhelmed, or stuck in their head. Through subtle breath, precise awareness, and guided attunement, you’ll begin to experience your body as a place of wisdom, not just survival.
Perfect for trauma recovery, spiritual seekers, or those burned out on conceptual self-help—this week offers something few practices do: the actual felt experience of wholeness.
You’ll move slower. Feel deeper. Think less. And reconnect with what it means to be home.What if embodiment wasn’t a technique—but a way of being?
What if your body wasn’t something to observe, fix, or analyze—but something to inhabit?
🕯️ You don’t need to learn how to be present.
You already are.
You’ve just been living a few inches outside yourself.
This is not mindfulness as you’ve known it. This is not performance-based wellness.
This is a homecoming. A deep, cellular experience of being—not fixing.
A quiet return to what’s already whole.
The Shape of Stillness is a trauma-sensitive, non-conceptual immersion into the Realization Process. This gentle but profound practice opens a direct path to presence through the subtle energy body. We move beyond mindfulness, beyond somatic theory, into felt wholeness.
Over seven spacious mornings, we’ll return—slowly, softly—to ourselves.
🧘♀️ Who This Is For:
People who live in their heads
Those recovering from trauma, burnout, or numbness
Therapists, healers, and seekers who long for deeper self-contact or needing a deeper anchor.
Anyone tired of struggling to feel their body and ready for real embodiment
Live mostly in your head and long to feel rooted again
Struggle to access your body or feel safe inside it
Want a more integrated, trauma-sensitive path to spirituality
Are tired of concepts and ready for direct experience
🎯 What You’ll Receive:
Daily guided practices: attunement, core breath, perception, and movement
Integration tools: reflection prompts, optional breakout shares, gentle journaling
Recordings for each session so you can go at your own pace
🧘♀️ What You’ll Experience
Over seven gentle, spacious days, you’ll be guided into a felt, real-time experience of your own body—not as an object, but as the ground of your being.
Through subtle, precise practices from the Realization Process, we’ll move past thought and concept into direct perception—awakening awareness, emotion, and sensation as unified expressions of self.
In this 7-day retreat, you’ll be guided through gentle yet powerful practices that reconnect you with your body—not from the outside in, but from the inside out.
This is embodiment for people who feel numb.
This is presence for people who dissociate.
This is wholeness that doesn’t require you to be “fixed.”
These practices help you shift:
from being aware of the body… to inhabiting it
from dissociation… to deep self-contact
from hypervigilance or numbness… to presence without effort
No fixing. No performing. No spiritual bypassing. Just honest, quiet contact with yourself.
🪷 Join us. Come home to your body.

You live in your head.
Most of us do.
It’s where we make decisions, protect ourselves, explain away what we’re feeling—or avoid feeling anything at all. But your body hasn’t forgotten. It’s been carrying everything you’ve ever been through.
This is not a retreat about understanding embodiment. It’s about becoming it.

TESTIMONIALS:
“Thanks to Jennifer for introducing me to a unique program that enlightens, grounds & guides me daily. Healing Ground has truly matured my daily embodiment practice. A quantum leap beyond the mindfulness practices available 5-10 years ago.”—seasoned therapist
“Jen was incredibly helpful, patient, kind, and knowledgable. I have a fairly strong background in meditation/mindfulness and was not sure how much new information I would learn. I was greatly surprised how much I received and how well I was taught to implement it in my daily life. My experience was personally and professionally beneficial and well timed. Jen is obviously well versed in her subject.”—seasoned practitioner
“It was a life changing class. Most of my anxiety is gone. I have found out through traveling to the Costa Rican Jungle alone I am still an anxious traveler but put me in any social situation and I am able to stay grounded now. I will continue to tell people about Jennifer’s class Healing Ground.”—successful business woman
