Hi there my friend, it has been a bit since my last communication. Life has been busy with year-end retreating, and we have been able to wrap it all up with the sacred closing of our October Bacalar Blue Lagoon Retreat in Mexico!

It was my very first time in Bacalar, as I answered a soul calling last year through my dear friend, and aquatic therapist & certified trainer, Diana Bolaños. The calling was to collaborate the elements of earth & water, between TRE Somatic Shaking Medicine therapy & AguaQiFlow aquatic therapy for unparalleled healing in nervous system regulation & rejuvenation.

But the week was so much more than birthing a collaboration of therapies. As soon as we all landed in the estate venue, I realized that the elements of nature around us, were calling for a deep inner communion with one’s self, getting us out of our comfort zone, and into deep presence, so we can fully confront all parts of ourself. What a blessing. 🙂

Right in our back yard, was the beautiful blue lagoon, inviting us to play, enjoy, and to reunite with her. To reunite with the sacred water’s of the feminine within and to come into honoring it’s vital existence.

We opened the week with a sacred water ceremony to charge the waters within us through intention & attention in an element that is asking for our love and respect. Within her, is vital healing energy to be invited and to pay attention to, and so we did, and it was fully received.

To express the rest of the week, I feel picture imagery along with a poem from my heart, is how I would like to express this one:

Clear skies with murky eyes is how we arrive
A tunnel through the selva bringing us closer to our center
A center that keeps moving, floating, like shapeshifting clouds
Always morphing and transforming, divinely being held

Glass, blue, green, and black, a mirror upon us, no turning back
A calling answered, weaving medicine into tapestry
Bones shiver and shake, blood and body join crystalline waters
A renewal once known revived, shivering, shaking, removing shackles

Bending, breathing, connecting to one’s aliveness, not yet an empress
Sculpting mind into matter, bending conditioning, belonging, betraying
Shedding skin, iguana spirit, a hybrid is born, primordial
Toning, vishuddha vortex released, parts lead into the deceased

Met one’s self once again, hands held, hearts high, at a ten
Wild glass moving, flowing, divinely holding our skin, sweet
Fire, ancestral homage embracing black night
No longer a worry in sight

Come join me (Julia) this upcoming Monday, October 6th, online ritual, Harvest Full Moon.
This ritual is meant to take you into deeper states of awareness. Deeper awareness allows you to truly listen to the signals of your body, mind, and emotions, often for the first time without judgment or resistance. As you slow down and tune in, you begin to recognize that your body isn't working against you; it's been holding your experiences, protecting you, and waiting for the right conditions to release and heal.

From the comfort of your own space, you'll be guided into a state of deep relaxation, allowing your breath and body to settle into the parasympathetic "rest and restore" state. This creates the ideal condition for neurogenic tremoring to come alive, a natural, therapeutic shaking response that helps release held stress from the nervous system.

As your body gently unwinds, you'll begin to access a fuller sense of presence, clarity of mind, and emotional ease. This practice opens the door to a deeper connection with your body’s innate intelligence, cultivating a renewed sense of trust, joy, and resilience, right where you are.

Experience a ritual into the breath, and somatic movements, leading into therapeutic tremoring for nervous system regulation, transforming emotions, and stuck or stagnant energy.

Through these practices, you are setting a strong energetic foundation so your authentic, courageous, and connected self can shine through.

"I see clearly. I am not my thoughts, body, or emotions, I am the timeless, peaceful presence beneath them all."

Hi there my friend, I am coming to you with deep gratitude today, as I continue my integration from the San Miguel de Allende retreat. What a honor it was to welcome 8 beautiful humans into an inward journey of the soul.

We laughed, cried, and played. We stretched out physical, mental, and emotional tension through yoga philosophy & practices, and embraced an integral part of the retreat, which was therapeutic tremoring in TRE Somatic Shaking Medicine. There was a lot of movement in release, fully embracing all parts of ourselves for deep healing. It was remarkable to see how faces changed from day 1 to the last day of the retreat. An uplift in smiles & emotions, bringing brightness within the eyes and faces in-front of me, with future outlooks more grounded and clear. There were new steps taken to explore the beautiful Mexican colonial town of San Miguel. A town very welcoming of its culture and multiracial integration. We visited the parroquia, which is the famous architectural church in the center square to connect to the energy of the people and culture. We tried new food, like vegan Mexican tacos 😉 , but nothing compared to the organic farm to table vegetarian meals we received at the venue, as the owners of Casa Angelitos are stuarts of country land where they are organic food suppliers within the town of San Miguel, making our meals a treasure & blessing to eat. Rosana & Laura were amazing hosts, impressing all of us with their warm & soft presence.

Adventures continued to the hot springs to be held by two dear women in the warm mother waters to be embraced with grace and care to transform primal energetic patterns into healing.

Later in the week we rode along with singing cowboys on their regal horses within the canyon of the Cañada de la Virgin, becoming mesmerized by the impressive canyon structures, and semi-dessert vegetation covered in green from summer & fall rains. The adventure peaked when we climbed to the top of the canyon for a dream view of the falling sky amongst the canyon and our bodies.

Join us in 2026! New Dates are: September 26th - October 2nd 2026. Contact: Julia@vikarawellness.com for details

Reclaim Your Authentic, Courageous & Connected Self with Julia Allshouse

These are challenging times when trust can feel elusive. Yet, working with ourselves through TRE® offers a powerful opportunity to face our deepest shadows and reconnect with our shared humanity. When we enter spaces of vulnerability with other people, we begin to break free from cycles of shame and move toward genuine connection. Though this path requires courage, and at times, it may feel uncomfortable, but as practitioners, we understand the profound value of doing our own inner work.

In this session, I invite men, woman, and non-binary to come together to explore how our personal practice supports radical truth-telling with ourselves and with one another.

Meaningful change begins within. It requires the courage to look in the mirror, to release the defenses that numb us, and to listen to the deeper call for aliveness. My intention is to create a space for somatic embodiment, connection, and deeper insight into how we can reclaim our authentic, courageous, and connected self through TRE® Somatic Shaking Medicine practices & co-regulation.

Come and join me (Julia) online in September during the new moon, fall equinox to experience a ritual into the breath, and somatic movements, leading into therapeutic tremoring for nervous system regulation, transforming emotions, and stuck or stagnant energy. Through these practices, you are setting a strong energetic foundation so your authentic, courageous, and connected self can shine through.

This would be a great time to meet, if you have been eyeing my holistic wellness retreats. Let’s get to know each other!

About Bacalar, Quintana Roo

This pristine body of water is one of the most stunning and unique natural wonders in Mexico, often referred to as the "Lake of Seven Colors" due to its breathtaking array of blues and turquoise hues. Located in the state of Quintana Roo, near the border with Belize, Bacalar is a freshwater lagoon fed by underground rivers, and its clear, pristine waters are a true marvel of nature.

The lagoon’s water is incredibly clear, allowing for an almost surreal visual experience. It’s so transparent that you can see straight to the bottom in many areas, even at depths of several meters. The clarity is due to the absence of sediment and the purity of the water, which originates from underground springs.

Above Water Cenotes:

Bacalar is home to several cenotes (natural sinkholes), which feed into the lagoon. The most famous cenote here is the Cenote de la Luna aka, Cenote Negro, which is a deep, circular opening in the earth that feeds water into the lake. These cenotes contribute to the water’s purity and provide unique spots for swimming and exploration. We will be visiting this cenote on our full day boat tour.

“I honor the primal language of my body.
Through shaking, I return to wholeness.”

Hi there my friend, I have just returned from hosting a deeply transformative 7 day private one-on-one recalibration & nervous system attunement experience on the coastline of Yelapa, Mexico. It was much more than just a retreat, it was a journey back to wholeness through the ancient embodiment of neurogenic tremoring aka Shaking Medicine.

There are moments in life when the call to return back to the body becomes undeniable, when the noise of the world grows too loud and the soul begins to whisper through tension, fatigue, or disconnection. For SN, that call led to Yelapa, Mexico, a wild sanctuary where jungle meets the rivers & sea and time softens into presence.

What SN encountered was far beyond a retreat, it was a sacred initiation into the next chapter of his life.

Each day unfolded as a ceremony of remembrance. The most interesting gift came from the body’s own wisdom through neurogenic tremoring therapy.

In a safe and held container, SM experienced the awakening of involuntary tremors rise from deep within, as if he was shaking loose all the heavy experiences he had stored for years.

It was humbling, raw, and deeply liberating to witness his body remember how to discharge. How to let go. How to restore his natural rhythm without force.

Each tremor was an energetic release returning back to Mother Earth. Each breath a bridge back to his center.

To anyone seeking not just relaxation, but regeneration, I can only say, “answer the call”, and join us for one of our group or private retreat experiences in Mexico.

Your nervous system, and your spirit, are waiting to bring you back into alignment.
