Recode
the body.
Rewrite
the pattern.
A ten-day bodywork training on the Pacific coast of Oaxaca. A study of fascia, breath, and the subtle currents beneath, held by René & Atabey.
II. The work
The body keeps the score,
and the body can also rewrite it.
Somatic Recoding is a way of meeting the human being through every layer the yogic tradition names: physical, energetic, emotional, intellectual, blissful. We work in the fascia and on the subtler currents underneath. Not to release a story, but to recode the patterns the body has been holding as truth.

Held by René & Atabey.
René
René is a somatic practitioner and relational guide specializing in emotional healing and reconnection. As a core facilitator of Somatic Recoding, she brings a grounded, intuitive approach to working with patterns held in the body and within relationships.
With a background in bodywork, trauma-informed yoga, and somatic trauma therapy, she weaves together touch, awareness, and energetic sensitivity to support deep transformation. Her work is informed by time spent in the Peruvian Amazon and the Wirikuta desert in Mexico, where she trained with the Matses tribe and developed a relationship with Kambo as a tool for clearing and clarity.
René is devoted to helping individuals and couples release what no longer serves them and return to a more honest, connected way of being. She is often described as present, attuned, and deeply caring. These are qualities she brings into every space she holds.
Atabey
Atabey is a seasoned bodyworker and trauma-informed practitioner specializing in somatic healing. With expertise in modalities like Osho Rebalancing, Ayurvedic massage, Tui Na, and psychedelic-assisted therapy, he brings a deep, intuitive approach to facilitating transformation.
He has taught and held sessions throughout North America, South America, Europe, and Asia. Although he continues to study and learn from teachers who specialize in different traditions, his main sources of inspiration are his clients and his exploration of his own body.
Atabey is often described as intuitive, loving, radiant, healing, playful, curious, wise, authentic, and creative. These are qualities he weaves into the spaces he facilitates.
/ where
Mazunte, Oaxaca.
A small Pacific village on Mexico's southern coast, where jungle presses against ocean, slow days, bare feet, and a quiet that does half the work for you. The container we'll meet inside.
