Your retreat.
Built around exactly what you need.

For individuals and private groups ready to step away and do real, high impact work. You tell us what you are looking for. We build a bespoke retreat around you, the depth, the place, the pace, and hold every detail from start to finish.

an invitation

You already know what you need. A real pause, somewhere quiet, with people who know how to hold the deeper work. This is that, built only for you.

Not a group you join. Not a schedule you fit into. A retreat designed from nothing, around your nervous system and your life.

who this is for

Wherever you are, we can meet you there.

There is no single reason to come. Whatever you bring, we design the program around it, and we can hold that space.

  • Curious, and want to explore

    A gentle first step inward. No experience needed, nothing to prove. Just space to see what opens.

  • Steady, and ready to go deeper

    You are already doing well, and you want more. We sharpen, expand, and take the work further.

  • Together, with people you trust

    Deep work beside friends, family, or a team. Held as a group, with room for what is yours alone.

  • Carrying something heavy

    When it is serious, we can meet that too. Real therapeutic depth, paced to what your system can hold.

two ways to come privately

One container. Shaped entirely to you.

Come on your own for the deepest version of this work, or bring the few people you trust most and take the whole experience for your circle. Either way, it is bespoke, built from scratch and held by both of us.

Days designed around you alone. The depth, the place, the pace, all of it shaped to what your body can actually receive. Two practitioners, fully yours.

bring the people you trust

A private retreat for your circle.

Take the whole experience for the few people you want beside you. A close group of friends, a family, a leadership team. The space is yours alone.

  • A private buyout, your group and no one else
  • A rhythm built for how your people actually rest
  • Shared practice with room for one on one work
  • A place chosen with you, anywhere it serves the work

Couples and two person retreats can be arranged too. tell us what you have in mind.

the RYME experience designed exactly for you

The rest is real. So is the work.

Real therapeutic depth

This is not a spa weekend with a breathwork class. EMDR, hypnotherapy, somatic release, nervous system science. The kind of work that changes a baseline, not a mood.

Two practitioners, fully present

Hanna brings the body, breath and movement. Loes brings the psychology, EMDR and hypnotherapy. You are held by both, the whole time, not handed between staff.

Built around you

Nothing is off the shelf. We design the days, the setting and the pace with you, then carry every detail so you only have to arrive.

Discreet, start to finish

Private by design. Who you are and what you bring stays between us. The setting is quiet, the group is closed, the care is yours alone.

what a day could look like

The day moves to your system, never a schedule.

A day opens slowly. Breath, movement, the body before the mind asks anything of it. Somatic work follows. Then EMDR or hypnotherapy, sequenced to what your system is actually ready for. Meals and rest are built into every day, not fitted around the sessions.

Where we are shapes the rest. A morning in the waves. Bodywork in the afternoon. Local culture, open landscape, time that feels nothing like your ordinary life. Location dependent, we fold in what serves you. Surf, exploring, hands on body work, whatever pulls you further in.

Nothing is packed. Everything is chosen.

the arc

A few days might move like this.

Illustrative, not fixed. The shape of your retreat is yours. This is how the work tends to unfold, before, during, and after.

  1. 01

    before

    We design it with you.

    A conversation first. What is depleting you, what you have already tried, what being truly held would feel like. From there we shape the retreat and choose the place. You decide nothing alone.

  2. 02

    during

    You do the work, we hold the rest.

    Mornings move slow. Somatic practice, breath, time in the body. The deeper sessions happen when your system is ready, never on a clock. Meals, rest and space are built into every day.

  3. 03

    after

    It keeps unfolding.

    You go home with practices you will actually use, and with us. Integration calls in the weeks that follow so the work settles into your real life, not just the retreat.

Hanna and Loes, the RYME duo
who holds you

Two practitioners. One steady room.

Hanna is the somatic side of RYME, here to bring you back to your body and your breath. Loes works with the mind, guiding gentle rewiring and release through EMDR, hypnotherapy and psychology.

A former teacher and a former social worker. What we bring, more than any single method, is the ability to build trust slowly and hold people through hard moments. On a private retreat we are both with you the whole time. You are never handed between staff.

what you are investing in

A private retreat with RYME is, by design, one of the more considered investments you will make in yourself. What you are funding is not a venue or a program. It is two experienced practitioners, working in full coordination, building something from nothing around your nervous system and your life.

The modalities are clinical grade. The logistics are handled. The locations are chosen with intention, for the depth of work you are here to do. This is world class facilitation, quietly delivered, with nowhere to cut corners because we designed the whole thing ourselves.

reflections

In their own words.

a word from a recent guest
I move fast for a living and I am skeptical of this kind of thing. This was different. Built entirely around me, run by two people who clearly know what they are doing. I came back sharper, calmer, and more myself than I have been in years.

Daniel Poneman

NBA / NIL agent, private retreat in Portugal

I came in carrying more than I let on. They saw it, and they paced the whole week to what I could actually hold. Nothing rushed, nothing performed. I left with real tools and a quiet I still feel.

Clay

private retreat in Costa Rica

I have done other retreats. None like this. It was ours alone, shaped to exactly what we needed, held by both of them the whole time. The depth of the work surprised me.

V

private retreat in Costa Rica

I used to push through everything. After a week that was built only for me, I know what it feels like to move from ease instead. Something fundamental changed.

discretion and place

The group is closed. The setting is yours alone. What you bring into the room stays in the room.

We choose the place with you, wherever serves the work, somewhere quiet and far enough from your everyday that your system can finally let down. Privacy is not a feature here. It is the whole design.

how it comes together

From first note to arrival.

  1. 01

    You reach out

    A short note through the form below. Just enough for us to understand who this is for and what is bringing you here.

  2. 02

    We talk it through

    A quiet conversation, no script and no pressure. We listen, you ask anything, and together we see whether a private retreat is the right fit.

  3. 03

    We design it with you

    The shape, the setting, the length, the depth. We build a proposal around exactly what you need, and carry every detail from there.

  4. 04

    You arrive

    Everything is handled before you land. You only have to show up, and let your system do the rest.

quiet questions

The things people tend to ask.

Who is a private retreat for?

People who carry a lot and look fine doing it. You know what you need and you are ready to step away and do real work. It is open to anyone, on your own or with a small group you choose.

Where does it happen?

Wherever serves the work. We do not run private retreats from one fixed location. We choose the setting with you, somewhere quiet and beautiful that fits the depth of what you are doing and where you want to be.

How long is it?

It depends on you. Most private retreats run a few days to a week. We shape the length around what your nervous system can hold and what you are coming to do, then talk it through in your first call.

What does it cost?

By private arrangement. Because every retreat is built from scratch, the investment reflects the length, the setting and the support involved. We talk it through openly once we understand what you are looking for.

How private is it really?

Completely. The group is closed, the setting is yours alone, and what you bring into the room stays there. Discretion is part of the design, not an add on.

What if I have never done somatic work or EMDR before?

Most people have not. There is no prerequisite and nothing to prepare. We meet you exactly where you are and move at a pace your system can hold.
