You've built a life you can manage, yet you feel disconnected.
You felt something move in the Lab. Most people go back to their week and it fades by Thursday. This is how it doesn't.
Free. One hour. With René and Atabey. A live, body-based session that opens the door to the one-month container.
You've stopped mentioning most of this to anyone.
In the body
- A chest that won't fully exhale
- Wired but exhausted
- Waking up tired anyway
- Jaw, shoulders, chest
- Stress living in your gut
When you stop
- Can't sit still
- Guilt when doing nothing
- Holidays where you still can't relax
In yourself
- Numbness
- Not knowing what you want
- Pleasure gone quiet
- No creativity, no play
With people you love
- Distance from your partner
- Intimacy that's become work
- Less patience with your kids
- Present in the room, gone somewhere else
A life that looks good from the outside, and a struggle to feel alive inside it.
Understanding it hasn't changed it.
You can probably already name your pattern. Trace it. Explain where it came from. And it still runs you.
The pattern isn't stored as a thought. It's stored in fascia, in breath depth, in the resting tone of muscle, in how fast your system returns you to safety once a threat has passed. None of that speaks language, so none of it can be reasoned with.
Insight arrives at the mind. The protection lives somewhere older. We work bottom-up, through the body, because that's the only door it answers.
Every Lab we've held, free to watch.
Each Soma Lab is a live hour with René and Atabey: part teaching, part demonstration, part practice you do in your own body while we guide it. Every past Lab is recorded and comes with a companion PDF. Both are free. Pick one, book a short one-to-one call with us, and the recording and PDF open straight away and arrive in your inbox to keep.
Where the Body Holds
Exploring the relationship between emotion, the organs, and the subtle maps of the body. Drawing from the chakra system and Traditional Chinese Medicine, this live, experiential gathering invites us to explore where different emotional qualities are said to live — and what happens when we bring our own attention and awareness to these places in the body.
Registration works the same way: book your one-to-one call and the calendar invite and live video link open immediately.
One month. Four weeks. Body, mind, heart, spirit.
A small group, opening the week after each Soma Lab. Sessions are held by René, by Atabey, or by both of us, depending on where the group is.
Regulate
Read your own signals. Recognise activation and shutdown. Build real tools for grounding and for rest.
Recode
The beliefs under the pattern. Protective parts. Move from naming it to interrupting it.
Release
Held emotion and chronic tension. Feel without being overwhelmed. Let something actually move.
Embody
Into your relationships and your week. Pleasure, rest, receiving. A practice that outlasts the month.
Choose your depth.
One cohort, the same faces every week, opening after each Soma Lab. Most of them have been performing being fine for as long as you have. Watching another body let go in real time is usually what gives yours permission. This is a space of deep community immersion.
Next cohort starts Saturday, September 5, 2026, 12:30 PM Mexico City time.

From people who have received this work.
We'd rather say no than take someone who isn't ready.
One week, then decide
You pay in full to reserve your place. Come to the first week. If nothing has moved in your body by the end of it and you don't want to continue, tell us and we refund everything except a $200 USD commitment fee. No conversation required, no reason needed.
This isn't for you if
- You want a technique you can do alone in ten minutes
- You're in acute crisis and need clinical care first
- You want to be talked out of what you're feeling
- You're not ready to stop performing being fine
What people ask on the call.
What actually happens on the Pattern Reading?+
Thirty minutes, free, with René or Atabey. We read what your body is doing and give you one practice for it. If we think you should join, we'll say so. If we think you shouldn't, we'll say that too, and you leave with the practice either way.
How much time does the month take?+
Four weekly live group sessions, plus short personalised practices between them. On the $1,000 tier, two private sessions scheduled around your own process. The between-session practice is where most of the change actually happens.
Does this work online?+
Yes, and it surprises people. Nervous-system work, breath, sensation tracking and emotional processing all transfer over video. Hands-on fascia work doesn't, which is why we also run in-person sessions on the Oaxacan coast. Plenty of people do the container online and add a hands-on session or two when they can get to us.
Is it always both of you?+
No. Some sessions are held by René, some by Atabey, some by both of us, depending on what the group needs that week. Private sessions on the $1,000 tier can be with either of us, or with both.
What if I can't feel my body?+
That's a starting place, not a disqualification. Numbness is a protective pattern like any other, and week one is built for exactly this. We start with whatever you can notice, however small.
I'm already in therapy. Does this conflict?+
Most people are, or have been. This runs alongside talk therapy rather than instead of it. Insight arrives at the mind, and this works somewhere older than that. Tell your therapist you're doing it.
Do I need to attend live?+
We recommend joining each session live with your camera on, so we can read and respond to what your body is showing. That said, every session is recorded and shared with the cohort.
Two people, one method, in the room with you.
Somatic Recoding is René's transmission work braided together with Atabey's clinical fluency with the body. Depending on the week, you'll be held by one of us or by both.
René
Trauma-informed somatic therapy, bodywork, soma psychomagic. Trained with the Matses in the Peruvian Amazon and with traditional healers around the world.
Atabey
Osho Rebalancing, Thai massage, contemplative traditions, and molecular biology. Over a decade across four continents.
Not ready for a month?
Start with the Somatic Reset course.
Somatic Reset is the self-paced doorway into the method. It gives you the same regulation tools, body maps, and guided practices we use in the one-month container, without the live commitment or the cohort price.
- A complete self-paced course for returning to regulation
- Guided audio journeys, body-based practices, and everyday resets
- The nervous-system maps we use in the one-month container
- Lifetime access, yours to return to whenever you need it
A credit, not just a course
The $110 course fee becomes a discount off the one-month therapy container if you decide to go deeper later. If you continue, Somatic Reset effectively pays for itself.
The next cohort opens the week after the Lab. Free thirty-minute Pattern Reading with René or Atabey.
