FLOW: Aerial & Somatics – A weeklong inner child immersion.

Held at Casa Chango in Puerto Escondido, Mexico, this weeklong immersion runs from Feb 6-13, 2027, and is guided by Andrea “DRE” Hartley.

FLOW invites you to reconnect with your natural playfulness, longing, and sense of freedom. Many of us spend too much of life living from the neck up, carrying old armor without even noticing it. This experience is designed to help you go deeper into the body, shift your perspective, and remember what it feels like to be supported, to play, and to let go.

Over the course of a transformative week, FLOW offers a sanctuary for the nervous system and a return to the soul. The intention is to bridge emotional alchemy with physical liberation, helping you gather the fragmented parts of your inner child and integrate them into a fuller, freer, more authentic expression. It is an invitation to stop hiding, stop holding back, and begin romancing your life.

The Journey and Modalities

Through a carefully woven blend of grounding and expansive practices, you will be guided through release, expression, and integration in a supportive container.

• Aerial Hammock & Silks: Explore the therapeutic power of the air through deep somatic holding, spine decompression, nervous system regulation, and expressive movement.
• Somatic Parts Work: Move beyond talk therapy by working directly with the felt sense of your internal family system, meeting and integrating younger parts that carry old patterns.
• Insight Meditation: Build a clear and compassionate inner witness through daily mindfulness practices that support self-acceptance.
• Breathwork: Use conscious, connected breathing to clear stagnant energy, release emotional blockages, and deepen somatic awareness.
• Yoga & Dance: Ground your aerial and emotional work through embodiment practices that create safety and presence in your body.
