The RM Method ™
RETREAT
Break through what’s been holding you back. Reconnect with your soul.
Santa Marta, Colombia | February 2 - 8. 2026
Healing that feels like a RAVE — through sound, movement, and ceremony.
Deep in the Colombian jungle, this is a week-long experience designed to reset your nervous system, release stored emotion, and bring you back into the rhythm of who you truly are.
When the soul calls, the body feels it.
Tension. Heaviness. Patterns you can’t break.
This retreat is where that finally shifts.
Through sound, movement, and breath, you release what’s been stuck for years and reconnect with the part of you that’s been waiting to come alive.
Breakthroughs you feel instantly. Integration that lasts a lifetime.
Most retreats stop at the breakthrough. We take you beyond.
The RM Method™ isn’t just a retreat — it’s a multidimensional, somatic, sound-driven journey.
Every ceremony is infused with active sound healing, rhythmic breathwork, somatic movement, meditation, and community witnessing — giving you immediate emotional release and real, embodied transformation.
You won’t just feel lighter and clearer during the retreat —
you’ll leave with daily rituals that regulate your nervous system, anchor your breakthrough, and support your life long after the jungle.
Integration made euphoric.
This isn’t an escape. It’s a metamorphosis.
The RM Method™ retreat is a multidimensional journey that merges:
Active Sound Healing & Music
Somatic Movement & Embodiment
EFT Tapping & Vocal Activation
Rhythmic Breathwork, Meditation & Ceremony
Raving & Optional Plant Medicine
This is where stored emotion moves, the nervous system resets, and your soul comes back alive.

WHO IT’S FOR
For those who feel the soul calling — and know something in their body is ready to shift.
It’s for you if you:

Sense a quiet resistance, tension, or heaviness you can’t shake on your own
Are carrying fear, guilt, shame, or grief and are ready to move it through the body

Lisa Parente and Eva Kapatos are the creators of The RM Method™ — a system where movement becomes medicine, breath becomes rhythm, and healing feels like a rave.
For more than a decade, both Lisa and Eva have devoted their lives to the study of yoga, sound healing, somatics, and trauma informed practices.
Each founder holds over 500 hours of RYT certifications, with extensive training in energy work, ancestral healing, somatic movement, and the neuroscience of altered states.As educators, musicians, and integration guides, they witnessed a pattern: people were having breakthroughs on the dance floor — but losing themselves in the comedown.
So they built a method that bridges what traditional healing forgot:
the body needs rhythm.
The nervous system needs safety.
The soul needs expression.The RM Method™ merges ancient wisdom, modern science, and intentional music into a rhythmic process that helps people release stored emotions, regulate the nervous system, and reconnect with who they truly are.
Their mission is simple: make healing euphoric, embodied, and accessible — for every body.
A global movement where the body leads, the breath opens, and the rhythm brings you home.
