FLOW: Aerial & Somatics Inner Child Immersion with DRE Hartley

FLOW: Aerial & Somatics is a weeklong inner child immersion led by DRE Hartley at Casa Chango in Barra de Navidad, Jalisco, Mexico. It is a healing workshop that brings together aerial arts and somatics, body-based practice that works through movement and sensation. It suits people drawn to playful, embodied ways of reconnecting with the child within.

What to Expect

The week is built around two threads named in the title: aerial work and somatics. Aerial movement, in the air and supported by apparatus, asks for play and trust. Somatic practice turns attention inward, toward how the body holds and releases experience. Together they shape a week of inner child work that happens through the body rather than through talk alone. The retreat runs for a full week, with the days shared as a group.
