Welcome to Repattern:
A One Day Embodied Wellness Retreat
Where somatic healing meets strength.
Return to Movement That Feels Like Home
Repattern is a full-day immersive retreat for people who crave a deeper, more connected relationship with movement. It’s where functional fitness meets nervous system science, co-facilitated by movement coach Anna Cruz and trauma therapist Danielle Palmer.
Together, we blend strength training and somatic psychology to create a space that invites not just physical resilience—but emotional safety, curiosity, and inner alignment.
This isn’t about pushing harder.
It’s about moving with awareness.
It’s about listening inward.
It’s about feeling fully alive in your body—again, or maybe for the first time.
What Repattern Offers
A New Approach to Wellness
Repattern was born from a shared belief:
You don’t have to choose between physical training and emotional presence.
This retreat helps you reconnect with your body’s natural intelligence through:
Foundational Movement
Build strength through alignment-based functional movement patterns
Somatic Practices
Connect with your nervous system through embodied awareness
Rest & Integration
Create space for reflection and embodied integration
Nature & Community
Connect with others in a supportive natural environment
Retreat Schedule Highlights
Your Journey Through the Day
Arrive & Land
We'll begin with a gentle orientation and grounding practice guided by Danielle—designed to support nervous system regulation and connection.
Experiential Learning: The Movement–Nervous System Link
Danielle will guide you through an exploration of how stress and trauma shape your body's patterns—and how reclaiming movements like yield, push, pull, and stabilize can support vitality and resilience.
Functional Strength & Mobility with Anna
Anna will lead a dynamic strength session rooted in practical, alignment-based movement—designed to support the way your body shows up in everyday life.
Nourishment & Nature
Enjoy a hearty outdoor BBQ lunch (vegetarian/GF options available), time to connect—or unplug. Everything is optional. Your body leads.
Integration: Sauna, Cold Plunge, or Stillness
The afternoon is designed for rest and reflection. Integrate your experience in whatever way feels right—through heat, cold, journaling, or optional 1:1 sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything You Need to Know
-
You don’t need to be “fit,” but you do need a basic level of physical ability. The day includes a moderate forest hike and a full-body movement session, so some foundational strength, mobility, and cardio capacity is helpful. That said, everything is scalable. You’ll be encouraged to move in ways that feel supportive for your body, and there’s no expectation of perfection or performance. This retreat is designed for people who are curious about movement — not experts in it.
-
We get it. This retreat was designed to feel grounding, not performative. It’s not about wellness culture or curated identity — it’s about honest, intelligent movement in a thoughtful space. Come as you are. No pressure. Just presence.
-
Mini Training sessions with Anna ($75 for 20 minutes) focus on movement alignment, conditioning, or personalized feedback.
Mini Integration sessions with Danielle ($75 for 20 minutes) offer space to process anything emotional, mental, or somatic that comes up.
Sign-up will be available on-site during the retreat — first come, first served.
-
Yes — the day is intentionally spacious. You’ll have time between sessions to eat, integrate, rest, or sign up for 1:1 support. We’ve structured the retreat to honour both movement and stillness.
-
No. While Danielle is a clinical counsellor and brings a trauma-informed, somatic lens to her work, this retreat is not therapy. Repattern is an experiential, movement-based offering designed to support embodiment, self-awareness, and connection. It’s not a substitute for therapy or medical treatment. If deeper emotional material arises during the retreat, you’ll be supported with grounding tools and the option to book a short integration session — but the space is not intended to process trauma in a clinical way.
