Crete, Greece · 13–18 September 2027 · Six women only
ROAR Immersion
Five nights. One-to-one healing at the root. A nervous system that finally learns what safe feels like.
Request your placeThis is not a wellness retreat
You survived by holding everything together. This is where you finally get to put it down.
If you have lived through narcissistic abuse or coercive control, you already know: insight is not enough. You can name the gaslighting. You understand the trauma bond. And still your body braces — scanning, managing, waiting for the shift in the air.
ROAR Immersion works where the wound actually lives — at the root, and in the nervous system. Six women. One facilitator: a Certified Somatic Trauma-Informed Coach and Certified Narcissistic Abuse Specialist, with RTT, Brainspotting, hypnotherapy, somatic parts work and autogenic training in a single pair of hands. Five nights on a Greek island, held from the moment you land to long after you leave.
Why this is different
Depth most retreats cannot offer.
One to one
Your private RTT session
A full Rapid Transformational Therapy session — reaching the root belief formed in the moments that shaped you, and rewriting it. Not group work. Yours alone.
Yours for 21 days
Your personalised recording
You leave with a transformation recording created from your own session. The retreat continues in your ears for 21 days after you are home — while the new belief takes root.
Morning and night
Guided autogenic training
Twice-daily autogenics retrains your nervous system out of survival mode. By day five you can lead it yourself — a skill you keep for life, not a memory you leave behind.
Six women, held
Depth, one woman at a time
Every deep session is fully private — your RTT, plus your own Brainspotting or somatic parts session, with Margarita’s undivided attention. Between sessions, the villa holds you: massage, sea, stillness. Rest is part of the protocol, not what’s left over.
“Your body has been keeping you alive. Here, it learns to let you live.”
The ROAR Healing Method™
Five nights. Three movements.
The retreat follows the same arc as the method itself — Recognition, Reconnection, Reclamation — paced for nervous systems shaped by chaos. Nothing is forced. Everything is invited.
Night one · Arrival
Descent
You are met, driven, welcomed by name — no logistics, no decisions. A private room, a handwritten letter, a quiet circle at dusk where our agreements are made: confidentiality, no fixing, and the right to pause anything, at any time, without explanation. Then your first guided autogenic session. We begin by teaching your body that this place is safe. Nothing more is asked of you.
Days two & three · Recognition
Naming what happened
Language changes everything for women who were taught to doubt their own reality.
- Coercive control and trauma bonding, explained clinically and without judgement
- The ROAR Tide Map™ — finding your nervous system states in your own body
- Meet the Protectors — gentle somatic parts work honouring the parts of you that kept you alive, mapped in your own ROAR Somatic Parts Map
- Your anchors, installed through guided hypnotherapy: Safe Harbour, The Vessel, and your Three Allies — yours between sessions, and yours for life
- Your ROAR Glimmer Journal — daily practice in noticing what cues safety, in the most glimmer-rich place imaginable
- Private RTT sessions begin, each followed by bodywork and quiet integration
Day four · Reconnection
Coming back to yourself
The day the group becomes medicine.
- Meeting Her — Self-led somatic parts work blended with hypnotherapy: turning, gently and at your pace, toward the youngest part of you and giving her what she needed then
- The Boundary Clinic — somatic ‘no’ and voice work, plus your personal ROAR Boundary Response Plan built around your real life
- Final one-to-one sessions complete
- The Reclamation Dinner — a long candlelit table, dressed up, Greek abundance, celebrated as the women you are becoming
Day five · Reclamation
Taking it home
Morning autogenics — led, in part, by you. A private integration session mapping your next 90 days. You write your Wobble Letter — a sealed letter from your strongest self, carried home for the day the old pull whispers. A closing circle witnessed by five women who truly understand. You arrive home with your recording, your anchors, your practice, and a plan — not a memory that fades by Monday.
The evening of Day three
An evening fire ceremony beneath an old carob tree.
You write down what was never yours to carry — the rules you inherited, the version of yourself shaped by survival, the contract you never signed. You release the burden. Never the part of you that carried it.
The space
Your healing happens here
A private estate perched above Souda Bay — volcanic basalt rock, ancient olive trees, and this view. The one you look at between sessions. The one that reminds your nervous system, before any words are spoken, that you are somewhere safe.
Every deep session takes place in a private space on the estate — your RTT session, your 1:1 somatic work, your integration. Your choice. Made on the day.
Everything is held for you
Included in your stay.

The promise this retreat is built on
Every session is invitational. You may pass, pause or step out at any time, without explanation. For women whose ‘no’ was never respected, this is not a footnote — it is the foundation. Nothing here happens to you. Everything happens with you.
The Reclamation Dinner
The table where you celebrate becoming
On the fourth evening, six women gather at a long table on the top floor overlooking Souda Bay. Candlelight, a private chef, Greek abundance. Not a working session — a celebration. Dressed up. Present. Becoming.
This is the moment the retreat shifts from deep work to joy — and the two are not separate things.
An honest word before the investment
This retreat is not for everyone.
This is for you if
- You have left, or are safely leaving, a relationship marked by narcissistic abuse or coercive control
- You understand what happened — and your body still hasn’t caught up
- You are ready for deep, private, one-to-one work, at your own pace
- You want tools that come home with you, not a glow that fades by Monday
- Something in you exhaled when you read this page
This is not the right fit if
- You are in immediate danger or acute crisis — you deserve support much sooner than September, and local crisis and domestic-violence services are the right first step
- You are looking for a spa holiday with light touch content — this is deep, structured work held in beauty
- You are seeking psychiatric or medical treatment — this retreat complements professional care; it does not replace it
Every place is confirmed through a private conversation first — so we are both certain the timing is right for you.
13–18 September 2027 · Six places
Your investment.
Booked separately, this work costs more than the retreat: a private RTT intensive alone begins at $3,800. ROAR Immersion holds that — plus Brainspotting, somatic parts work, autogenic training, five nights in a private luxury villa, every meal and every transfer — inside one investment, with one facilitator who holds the full picture of you.
Certified Somatic Trauma-Informed Coach · Certified Narcissistic Abuse Specialist · RTT Practitioner · Brainspotting Practitioner · Hypnotherapist · Autogenic Training Practitioner · Coercive Control Practitioner
All prices in US dollars. Flights to Crete are not included — Chania International Airport is served from major European hubs and is a short private transfer from the villa.
Questions, answered honestly
What women ask before saying yes.
Is this therapy?
How do I know if I'm ready?
I've never done group work — will I have to share?
When and where exactly is it?
How do deposits and cancellation work?
13–18 September 2027 · Only six women. Ever.
If your body just exhaled reading this — that was your answer.
Places are offered through a short, private conversation — so we both know this is right for you. No pressure. No performance. Just the truth about where you are and where you are ready to go.
