~ Group Ceremony ~
Journeying within a group offers a unique opportunity to be held in a safe, supportive environment facilitated by experienced practitioners. Group ceremonies allow individuals to share space and receive the collective wisdom that arises when a group of people gather for healing and transformation. These gatherings are especially suited for those who feel internally safe, grounded, and ready to deepen their connection to self and others through shared experience.
Each group ceremony is held by Reanna and a member of her trusted support team or a skilled colleague, ensuring a container that supports both the medicine and the group’s collective journey.
Group ceremonies are not suitable for everyone, and this particular way of working requires a sense of safety within oneself. A thorough intake process is required before attending to ensure it’s the right fit for your needs. If you have any questions or would like more information, please don’t hesitate to reach out.


Breaking Open Without
Falling Apart
June 28/29, 2025 ~ Star River Sanctuary, Nelson
Facilitated by Reanna Costa
"Both the ancient tradition of Buddhist psychology and the modern one of psychotherapy recognize that recovering the capacity to feel is crucial to their disciplines. There can be no wholeness without an integration of feelings. The paradox that both traditions have discovered is that, while we seek to integrate feelings, the only way to access them is through a state of unintegration."
~ Mark Epstein
For so many of us, the capacity to feel fully has been lost—buried under layers of fear and survival. We fear that if we truly turn toward the backlog of unprocessed emotion, it will be too much: too intense, too overwhelming, too destructive.
But feeling deeply does not mean falling apart. Wholeness isn’t found by avoiding what’s inside—it’s found by learning how to meet ourselves in it.
Breaking Open Without Falling Apart is a weekend immersion designed to teach you just that.
Through experiential practices, foundational teachings from The Boulter Method, and supported exploration, you will learn how to cultivate the internal safety needed to navigate deep emotion without overwhelm. This weekend includes:
-
Foundational Boulter Method teachings around boundaries and containment
-
Deeply supportive somatic therapy practices to help you anchor, feel, and stay present
-
Guided exploration of your capacity to hold yourself through intensity without collapsing
This is an invitation to remember the safety that exists inside of you—the capacity to feel deeply and remain intact, grounded, and whole.
During this Weekend You Will:
-
Explore why feeling can feel unsafe—and how to create new internal safety
-
Learn foundational tools for emotional resilience and self-containment
-
Receive core Boulter Method teachings on boundaries and containment
-
Practice meeting emotions somatically, without overwhelm

The Sentinel Presents :
The Boulter Method
August 14-17th ~ The Sentinel, Kaslo BC
A 4-Day Immersion into Truth, Compassion & Responsibility
Facilitated by Reanna Costa
The Boulter Method is a profound and deeply transformative approach to self-inquiry, emotional healing, and personal growth. Rooted in somatic therapy, breathwork, and integrative self-work, this method is designed to help individuals break free from unconscious patterns, embody their fullest expression, and cultivate a life anchored in truth.
At its core, The Boulter Method is built on three fundamental pillars:
🜁 Truth – The courage to see ourselves clearly, to acknowledge the stories we tell, and to meet life as it is rather than how we wish it to be. Truth is the foundation of real transformation.
🜁 Compassion – A radical practice of self-acceptance and presence. It’s about softening the harsh judgments we carry and learning to hold ourselves and others with kindness, even in our most vulnerable moments.
🜁 Responsibility – The practice of personal sovereignty—owning our choices, our healing, and the way we show up in our relationships and the world. Responsibility is not about blame; it’s about reclaiming our power.
Why This Retreat?
Over the course of four days, you will be guided through a deeply experiential process to embody these principles. This is not a passive learning retreat—it is an immersion into self-work that moves beyond theory and into lived experience.
This will be done through powerful teachings, group process, and experiential practices that allow you to uncover where unconscious patterns are living within you—not just in your mind, but in your body, your emotions, and your nervous system.
You will be invited to track and recognize the ways you have learned to protect yourself, the ways you resist truth, struggle with self-compassion, or avoid taking full responsibility for your life. Through this awareness, we create the conditions for real transformation—where outdated survival strategies can soften, and a more integrated, authentic version of yourself can emerge.
Through somatic inquiry, breathwork, movement, and guided inner work, you will:
-
Identify and release unconscious blocks that keep you stuck in repeating patterns
-
Learn how to navigate truth without self-abandonment or bypassing discomfort
-
Cultivate radical self-compassion and integrate the parts of yourself you may have rejected
-
Understand what authentic responsibility looks like—one that is not driven by guilt or external expectations, but by sovereignty and self-trust
-
Develop a deeper relationship with your emotions, your nervous system, and your capacity to hold both challenge and expansion
-
Experience a guided forest medicine ceremony to deepen your connection to truth, compassion, and responsibility from within
-
This retreat offers a rare opportunity to do this deep work in a setting designed to support transformation—held in a beautiful, natural landscape, surrounded by a carefully curated community of like-minded individuals, and facilitated with experience, care, and integrity.
Whether you are new to self-inquiry or have been walking this path for years, The Boulter Method provides a clear, structured, and deeply effective way to meet yourself with honesty, presence, and compassion.
