NATURE, is our why & our how.

There is a rapidly growing body of empirical evidence that is proving what sages, poets, naturalists, & shamans have intuitively known all long known — that routine interaction with nature as well as the lack of it, has a direct critical impact on our health: physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually. And while we recognize that nothing can replace an actual escape into the wild, the comprehensive benefits of regular elemental immersion have proven to be immensely regenerative.

WE AIM TO QUIET THE MIND, SOFTEN THE HEART & STRENGTHEN THE BODY.

Sēfari immersions harness the power of nature to help you shift your state. Our practice is designed to guide you through elemental meditation journeys that trigger the body’s natural relaxation response by engaging the parasympathetic nervous system. If your nervous system is balanced, your heart is constantly being told to beat slower by your parasympathetic system, and beat faster by your sympathetic system. This technique leverages the power of water x sound to accelerate your body's ability to shift into its natural rhythm, helping to support the cultivation of coherence & somatic connection.

Coherence is when your heart, mind and emotions are in complete alignment and cooperation. Through repetition, Sēfari can help you create new baselines of resilience in the nervous system, reduce the effects of stress on the mind & body, and enhance your sense of resilience & connection to the natural world.
