The Next Chapter, Tecate, Baja California, Mexico
More than a long weekend
Long enough for your nervous system to stop bracing. The days follow a consistent, restorative rhythm rather than a packed itinerary.
Private one-on-one sessions
Individual sessions with different practitioners, booked to you personally. Alongside the shared experience, this is where you are seen, heard and supported one to one.
A small group
Small enough that nobody disappears into the back of the room, and nobody has to perform.
You set the pace
The structure is deliberately predictable so you can soften into it and take part at your own speed.
The four truths
You are not a set of separate problems to be handled in separate appointments. The work moves through all four. They build on one another, and none of them quite lands without the others.
Nourish
What you have been last in line for. Real food, real sleep, and the unfamiliar experience of being looked after rather than doing the looking after.
Release
What you have been carrying without meaning to, and no longer have to. Some of it you will put into words. Some of it simply gets lighter.
Move
Your body, at whatever pace it is willing to give that day. Not a fitness programme. Movement as a way back into a body you may have been living slightly above.
Create
The part only you can do. What the next stretch is for, and what you would like to build in it, decided on purpose, rather than by default.
The retreat
What the week is like
Release & Rise is built around private one-on-one work, small group practice, and real rest, the kind that takes more than a long weekend to arrive.
The days have a shape, but not a schedule you have to survive. Mornings open with group meditation and a teaching. Afternoons and evenings hold private one-on-one sessions with practitioners, booked to you alone. Meals are shared and they run long.
And there is time in the middle of every day that belongs to nobody but you. That is not filler. Integration is where the work actually sets.

Real guests, in their own words.
A guest on her time at Release & Rise
“I am feeling lighter energetically, like a weight has been lifted off of me. I feel a sense of peace more emotionally and more confident. I love it! I can’t wait to see what I feel like after all the sessions.”

On working with Aaron Grosskopf
“Kim has been such a positive influence on me over the past 12 years. Her expertise in health coaching helped guide me through identifying areas of my life that I felt I couldn’t progress through. I keep coming back to Kim because she has proven to be such a valued mentor in my life.”
Diane, RN
On working with Kim Oliva
“Overall, I feel much safer! I have slept through the night without disruption almost every night this week. I even forgot to lock the door the night of our session! Major progress!”
