Strengthen Your Nervous System with Nia & Somatic Healing

Picturesquely situated on a gentle hill in the heart of Mallorca, our finca is the ideal place to unwind and reflect on life’s simple pleasures. An oasis of tranquility surrounded by olive groves and fig trees, offering a variety of ways to relax. Unwind by the pool, take a stroll through the garden, or visit our spacious spa, which features an indoor pool, saunas, and massage services.

We’ll treat your taste buds to all-inclusive vegetarian and vegan meals. Enjoy our feel-good breakfast—featuring Sonnentor tea, coffee, fruit juices, fresh fruit, regional cheeses, seasonal vegetables, homemade jams, muesli, porridge, homemade bread, and much more—until 11 a.m. In the late afternoon, recharge with freshly prepared soups and salads, before being invited to a buffet featuring vegetarian and vegan specialties in the evening.

This retreat focuses on using the body as a guide to self-regulation and inner stability. Somatic Healing helps you become more aware of your stress responses, recognize dysregulation early on, and restore a sense of security to your nervous system. Through mindful, body-oriented exercises, you’ll experience how inner balance can emerge—not through performance, but through awareness, presence, and gradual integration.

A central element of the retreat is Nia—a holistic movement practice often experienced as a dance of joy. Nia combines free, rhythmic movement with conscious body awareness, having both a regulating and invigorating effect. The dance sequences invite you to discover your own expression, get energy flowing, and use joy as a resource for the nervous system.

The practice is complemented by in-depth knowledge of the autonomic nervous system: you will learn how regulation is possible through the body, how stress—both positive and negative—affects you, and what individual reaction patterns emerge in daily life. Mindfulness methods, breathing exercises, and relaxation techniques support the conscious development and sustainable anchoring of self-care.

Guided body and breathing exercises, meditation, gentle functional movement, and group discussion promote self-regulation. Periods of rest, time spent in nature, and relaxation on the expansive grounds and at the Son Manera Retreat Finca’s on-site spa allow you to integrate your experiences and build new inner stability.

This retreat is designed for people who wish to better understand and regulate their nervous system, as well as for professionals in therapy, coaching, education, or healthcare who want to deepen their body-oriented expertise.

What you’ll take away from the retreat:
- Greater inner peace and stability through a better-regulated nervous system
- Joyful movement experiences with Nia as a resource in daily life
- Deepened body awareness and stronger self-perception
- Sustainable strategies for self-regulation, presence, and resilience
