Safe to be Me

Retreat

With Galina Singer

October 17 - 22, 2026

The House of Aia | All Inclusive Resort - Michelin Star Hotel | Riviera Maya - Mexico

This is not a retreat to improve yourself.

It’s a space to discover who you are
when you stop abandoning yourself
in order to stay connected to others.

I spent years in relationships where I wasn’t fully myself.
Where I focused on understanding others, but abandoned myself.

SAFE TO BE ME IS:

A 6-day immersive retreat
for women who are ready to stop performing
and to start experiencing what it feels like to be:

Not through effort and pushing through,
But through connecting to safety within.

This is a small, curated group. I like to meet with every participant before confirming a spot.

Testimonial from past participant:

“I would rank Galina's Safe To Be Me Retreat in Mexico as one of the top 3 life-changing events in my life, following the births of my children and walking the Camino.
Something powerful inside me has shifted, and as a result, relationships that I had struggled with for decades have been unexplainably repaired or greatly improved. Galina has a gift, and words fail me in expressing my gratitude to her for her wisdom, compassion, and guidance."
- S.S

THE EXPERIENCE

Over these 6 days, something very specific begins to happen.

You start noticing where you leave yourself.

And instead of overriding it you learn to stay.

Through somatic work, relational exercises, and honest conversation, you begin to feel what it’s like to:

THE WOMEN YOU’LL BE WITH

Something unexpected happens in this space.

Women arrive as strangers.
Careful. A bit guarded.
Used to holding themselves together.

And little by little something begins to soften.

The need to impress drops.
The comparison fades.
The performing stops.

And in its place:
Honesty.
Recognition.
A kind of connection that doesn’t require effort.

You begin to see yourself in other women.
And feel seen in a way that doesn’t ask you to be different.

This is not networking.
It’s not surface-level sharing.

It’s what becomes possible when a group of women feel safe enough to be real.

Many women say this part of the retreat was the most unexpected and the most life-changing.

WHAT SHIFTS

You may notice:

At some point, staying where you came from becomes more uncomfortable than changing.

WHY THIS WORK IS HARD TO DO ALONE

Most of us don’t struggle in relationships because we don’t care.

We struggle because we don’t have the capacity to stay present when things get hard.

When emotion intensifies, we shut down, react, withdraw, or over-explain.

Not because we want to disconnect. But because something in us gets overwhelmed.

We can only meet others as deeply as we’ve met ourselves.

And most of us were never taught how to do that.

We were taught to:

So when intensity rises, our system reaches its limit.

And connection breaks even when love is there.

Insight alone doesn’t change this.

You can understand your patterns and still live them.

Because what’s missing is not knowledge.

It’s capacity:
The ability to stay with emotion as it’s happening.

To remain present without collapsing, fixing, or leaving.

And this capacity is not built in isolation.

It is built in relationship in real time with others who can stay.

THIS IS WHAT MAKES THIS RETREAT DIFFERENT

In this space, you are not doing the work alone.

You are: witnessed, met, and supported in moments where you would normally disconnect.

Some experiences are simply too big to metabolize alone.

Our bodies require other regulated, present humans to help us hold and process what we cannot carry by ourselves.

This is how something new becomes possible:

Not by pushing through or trying harder.

But by experiencing yourself differently in connection with others.

Testimonial from past participant:

“This was the best gift I’ve given myself in my lifetime.
The combination of the setting, the group, and Galina’s guidance created an experience of deep safety, honesty, and transformation. Each day brought insight, connection, and a sense of coming home to myself.”
- Cate C.

WHO THIS IS FOR

This retreat is for you if:

This is not for everyone.

It’s for women who feel something in themselves that is ready to shift not conceptually, but in how they actually live and relate.

If something in you is leaning toward this…

This is a small, curated group. I like to meet with every participant before confirming a spot.

No pressure.
Just a conversation.

You don’t need to be healed.
You just need to be willing to come as you are.

MEET YOUR GUIDE

Hi, I'm Galina

I’m a relating and intimacy coach, certified in somatic healing and sexology.

My work didn’t come from theory.

It came from living inside relationships that looked good on the outside,
but didn’t feel fully alive on the inside.

For years, I knew how to understand others,
hold space, keep connection at all cost.

But I didn’t know how to stay with myself.

That changed when I began to understand the body.

The nervous system.
The patterns we inherit.
The ways we abandon ourselves to stay connected.

Over the past 15 years, I’ve worked with hundreds of people, guiding them to build relationships rooted in truth, self-responsibility, and emotional capacity.

After more than 30 years of marriage,
I’ve transformed my own relationship.
I didn’t get here by fixing my partner,
but by changing how I show up.

SAFE TO BE ME is a culmination of this work.

A lived, embodied process that continues to evolve with my continued growth.

I don’t believe in perfect relationships.
I believe in relationships where you can stay:
With yourself.
And with another.

THE SETTING

The setting matters.

There is something about being held by nature ocean, jungle, stillness — that makes it easier to soften, to feel, to listen.

Palmaïa is not just a resort.

It’s a space intentionally designed
for slowing down and coming back to yourself.

This level of care and beauty is not extra.

It’s part of what allows your nervous system
to settle enough for real change to happen.

Payment plans are available.

If spreading payments would support your decision, we can arrange a structure that feels manageable.

A limited number of places are available at a reduced rate for those who commit by April 30.

This is a small, curated group. I like to meet with every participant before confirming a spot.

Testimonial from past participant:

“I don’t think I’ve ever experienced this level of honesty and safety in a group.
I connected deeply with my body, with parts of myself that needed healing, and with a capacity to open and receive love that I hadn’t accessed before.”
- Heidi Benitez
