Riding through the Andes above El Retiro

Club Serotonin™ · The Anchor

Where the work
actually lands.

Five days above Medellín in a private mountain sanctuary. Daily nervous system work, ceremony, and enough time for something to actually shift. Eight guests, everything handled.

Who is running it

You have optimised everything
except the system running it.

Five days, eight people, one private estate above Medellín. The work goes at how your body operates under pressure, not at how well you understand it. You leave running differently.

Book a call

Twenty minutes. Ask anything.

The place

A private sanctuary
above the city.

The Anchor sits in the mountains above El Retiro, thirty minutes and a world away from Medellín. Eight guests, one estate, and no schedule you have to manage.

Transport, meals, treatments and ceremony are arranged before you arrive. You bring nothing but a willingness to stop performing for five days.

Eight guests. One estate. Nothing to manage.

What you leave with

Boundaries. Confidence.
And a lot less chasing.

Five days is long enough for the change to hold. These are the things clients name months later, in their own words.

You start saying no

Boundaries stop being a thing you rehearse and start being a thing you have. Not because you learned a script, but because over-giving stops feeling like the safer option.

You stop chasing

The wrong people, the wrong rooms, the wrong ideas. Not through discipline. They simply stop being interesting once your system is no longer drawn to what is familiar.

You trust your own intuition

Confidence that is not performed. You can tell the difference between intuition and anxiety, and you stop outsourcing decisions you already know the answer to.

Things start finding you

Opportunities, people, work. Partly because you are no longer available for the wrong ones, and partly because a regulated person is simply easier to be drawn to.

Included

What is
included.

Everything below is covered. There is nothing to book, arrange or decide once you arrive.

HypnoBreathwork® and somatic sessions

Daily clinical-grade nervous system work, facilitated by me. This is the spine of the five days.

Plant medicine and fire ceremony

Held with intention and full support, in dedicated ceremony space on the property.

IV therapy and therapeutic massage

Cellular restoration and deep bodywork, at the level the rest of your life already operates at.

Art therapy and quantum body scan

Non-verbal processing and energetic assessment, to reach what words cannot.

Pilates, yoga and a full gym

Daily somatic movement, plus a full gym on the property for whatever your training already looks like.

Floating sound healing

Sound work in water. One of the deepest states most people have ever been in.

Sauna, cold plunge and pool

Contrast therapy on tap, in a forest, whenever your system asks for it.

Colombia immersion

Botanical tour, flower cultivation, horseback riding through the Andes, and a historic town excursion in El Retiro.

All meals, accommodation and transport

Private chef, private room, every transfer handled. You arrive and receive.

Who comes

Who actually comes
to this.

  • You can name the pattern. It still runs.
  • Therapy, coaches, books. You have done them.
  • You want depth, not motivation.
  • You are here to rewire, not to reset for a week.
  • You are not shopping on price.

From 1:1 clients

The retreat is this work,
run at depth for five days.

January 2027 is the first Anchor retreat, so there are no retreat reviews yet. What follows is from people who have done this work with me one to one.

“Four years of therapy and I still felt the same. Three sessions in and I felt regulated for the first time. My anxiety dropped. I actually feel different in my body.”

8-week container

“I stopped chasing unavailable people within the first month. I didn’t try to. My nervous system just stopped finding it familiar.”

Somatic and breathwork

“I had read every book, done EMDR, tried three coaches. This was the first thing that changed how I actually function.”

The retreat draws on nervous system science, HypnoBreathwork®, somatic practice, subconscious work and the older ways of reading a pattern.
