ONLY 8 SPOTS REMAINING!
5 Days of deeply transformational healing, connection and soul-nourished expansion.
This will be the most powerful 5 day, 4 night retreat you will ever experience…
One of the most fulfilling parts of what we do at SOSHA is creating powerful, transformative spaces—and The Immersion is a true expression of that. This 4-night, 5-day retreat is designed as a deep dive into soul-nourishment and inner healing, combining the potency of SOSHA Breathwork, Shamanic Journeying, Sound Therapy, and Ceremonial Cacao. Through this immersive experience, we guide you to move through your personal healing journey, release what no longer serves, and embody the wisdom and insight ready to emerge.

I found it amazing, intense, beautiful, opening! Before coming into this experience I was quite nervous and felt quite closed off, but as I journeyed through different thing my heart has opened more, I’m receiving more, and I’m more ok with the parts of myself that I didn’t want to look at. you guys are amazing!!

WHAT THE 5 DAYS LOOKS LIKE
Day One: Retreat Expectations & Introductions
Day One sets the tone, introducing the group and opening the space with a sacred ceremony. We’ll have our first Breathwork session, delve into your intentions, and clear anything that needs releasing.
Day Two: Deep Journeying & Cacao
Day Two starts with a Group Cacao Ceremony to anchor in the new energy of what we’re stepping into. This is all about getting clear on your next stages of your healing. Then, into another powerful Group Breathwork session.
Day Three: 1:1 Sound Therapy & The Deep Dive
Day Three is about accessing higher states of being with the power of Sound Therapy, and leading up to our powerful Shamanic Breathwork session to end the evening.
Day Four/Five: Supported Group Sessions & Wrap Up
Day Four is all about allowing our attendees to hold group spaces under the care and supervision of our powerful team (Libby, Dane & Shardasia), while shaking it all out with a Dance Session to end the evening.
Day Five is about coming together for morning ceremony, before departing.
The Immersion is a 5-day, 4-night deep dive into the healing arts, offering a rich, embodied experience of SOSHA Breathwork, Shamanic Practices, Sound Therapy, and Ceremonial Cacao. This retreat is more than just personal healing—it’s an opportunity to explore the depths of these modalities while also learning how to hold space with confidence, presence, and integrity. Set in a beautiful, nature-filled location, you’ll move through a series of guided sessions, group processes, and transformative experiences that awaken your soul, expand your capacity, and connect you with the wisdom within.
I found this incredible Retreat by SOSHA to be a powerful journey for myself – to release, to let go and to elevate those parts of myself which were really being called forward. It’s been absolutely MAGIC!

It was eye opening, it was emotional. I came in with zero expectation and didn’t know what I was really letting myself in for, but it was the most powerful, liberating experience in the world.

It was the most profound experience that I have ever journeyed through within my six years of my self healing journey, it was just something so profound that I literally have no words for it.

Libby Robertson
Hey Incredible Soul,
My name is Libby Robertson, and I’ll be your main guide throughout The Immersion retreat experience.
As the Co-Founder of the School of Spiritual Healing Arts and Founder of Parradiigm, I bring a deep well of experience in both the energetic and psychological realms—with a degree in Psychology, professional training in Shamanism, and years of guiding transformational healing work across the globe.
Throughout our time together, I’ll be holding space for you as you journey through your own personal healing, guiding you through Shamanic Journeying and supporting you in the integration of what arises. My role is to walk beside you as you shed old layers, awaken your inner wisdom, and reconnect with your soul’s truth.
This retreat is an invitation to drop deeply into your own process, supported every step of the way.
I’m so honoured to walk this path with you.
Shardasia Schwass
Hey beautiful soul,
My name is Shardasia, and I am honored to guide you on your journey towards self-discovery and empowerment through yoga, sound therapy, and holistic health.
With over 11 years of dedicated practice in Yoga, my journey led me to the heart of Eastern Philosophies in India and Nepal. In 2018 and 2019, I immersed myself in a 200 Hour Kundalini Tantra Yoga Teacher Training, along with courses in Reiki and Tibetan Singing Bowl Sound Therapy in Rishikesh. It was here that a set of bowls found me, and I brought them back to New Zealand, along with the profound knowledge and teachings to share these powerful tools.
In 2021, I deepened my practice with a 200 Hour Multi-Style Yoga Teacher Training in Yoga Nidra, Yin, Hatha, and Vinyasa here in New Zealand. My most recent accomplishment includes a Diploma of Holistic Health Science with a focus on Nutrition and Naturopathy. Additionally, I have studied the origins and science of cacao and have been facilitating cacao ceremonies infused with sound therapy for about four years.
My number one goal is to inspire and plant mindful seeds that lead towards self-discovery and empowerment, creating a ripple effect of worldly peace and compassion for the benefit of all beings.
I am thrilled to connect with you and support you on your path to holistic well-being and spiritual growth. Let’s embark on this transformative journey together!

As per our terms and conditions (www.schoolofspiritualhealingarts.com/terms-conditions) we do not offer refunds one any of our programs once the program has begun.
Only under extenuating or unforeseeable circumstances will refunds be offered. These including but not limited to: death, serious injury or illness, natural disaster, bereavement.
No refunds will be given under a change of mind.
This is to ensure the container is kept open for all of those who attend, as well as the energy of the group remaining unhindered prior to the event.
We will work closely with the retreat space to ensure these dates & times go ahead, however if for any reason the retreat centre decides to change our booking, we will let you know as soon as possible and discuss options for transferral of this event to an upcoming event space.
We recommend against bringing children – mainly for the fact that it can be quite an intensive process of healing and experiencing breathwork, which may become overwhelming for some children. It may also interfere with other retreat goers’ experiences (as well as your own!) so while we LOVE kids and having them around, unfortunately this retreat won’t be suitable for them 🙁
