training with us to heal your own traumas and become a TVMTM practitioner, all in the

beautiful retreat setting of Casas Benali in Valencia, Spain.

This comprehensive training program offers the ideal combination of flexible self-paced

205 hr online course - consisting of lectures, videos and online assessment - with in-person

training and practice, you will acquire the expertise and experience necessary to share this

transformative healing modality with others.

The in-person intensive training retreat will allow you to put theory into action, apply the

demonstrations, and group discussions, this course ensures that you can integrate your

Learn TVMTM with Inner Alchemy Retreats by Pippa and Maddie

Learning the Triple Vagal MethodTM in itself is relatively straightforward. The art form lies in

having the level of self-trust and inner intimacy that you hear the whispers of intuition and

feel confident following in the direction of the innate wisdom that lies in the fabric of your

being. This is how you access the healing energy that is all around to know which part of

your client’s body needs attention and when. This is where Inner Alchemy Retreats come in.

Inner Alchemy Retreats with Maddie and Pippa are thoughtfully designed to give you the

time and space outside of the routines and restrictions of your day-to-day life to create new

rituals, disarm the habits of impulsive reaction created by trauma and shine the light of your

conscious awareness on the deep-seated beliefs and limiting patterns of thought to unlock

the healing power that is already within you.

The training will be held in the beautiful Casas Benali, an authentic Arab hamlet with 68

hectares of land in the green,rustic interior, 1 hour from Valencia (Spain). Its surroundings of

abundant nature, tranquility, animal cuddles, self care and 3 nourishing healthy meals a day will

be the main ingredients for your stay at Benali.

This is the perfect environment to immerse yourself into the space and recalibrate the

nervous system as you feel the transformational effects of this powerful healing modality.

In order to take part in the TVMTM Valencia Training Retreat, participants will be required to

complete the first two modules of the online training prior to the training retreat. You will then

enter an intensive trauma healing container where you will receive live instruction and

guidance from experienced TVMTM Educators on theory and application of the Triple Vagal

MethodTM. You will have the opportunity to practice TVMTM every day and will both give and

receive sessions, making this a powerful healing opportunity on your own healing journey.

Overview - Why TVMTM?

The Triple Vagal Method® (TVMTM) is a revolutionary somatic approach to releasing trauma

from the body by inducing a therapeutic level of oxytocin, breaking down calcification of the

fascia, and regulating the nervous system to build resilience. TVMTM is a modality that gives

you measurable physical results and psychological results faster than anything out there.

Working directly, safely and efficiently with the nervous system, TVMTM uses the intelligence

of your body and its innate desire to optimally restore itself; releasing stress and trauma

from the body & mind.

Trauma healing and building vagal tone supports a thriving human experience in virtually

every way, everything from healthier bodies, stronger immune systems, less stress,

capacity to make better decisions & a larger cognitive capacity to name a few. In fact, many

may say it is the foundational prelude to absolutely every other successful & thriving

experience or condition an individual can have. This training lays down the foundations of

trauma & trauma healing through what may be the most effective bottom up approach;

TVMTM.

In-person practical training curriculum.

This curriculum has been designed to build on the foundational elements learned in modules

one a two of the online training, giving you an embodied understanding of the Triple Vagal

Method and its potency in healing trauma safely and effectively, before you do a deeper dive

into the more complex theory in the later online modules. Each morning there will be an optional

guided inner intimacy practice to help you cultivate your relationship with the consciousness

within, empowering you to become a more embodied practitioner. There will be optional evening

activities provided on some of the nights, such as sound healing and singing circles.

provided by the dedicated team at Casas Benali. There are accommodation options

The training will be held in the beautiful Enguera, Valencia, Spain. 7 years ago Daniel and

Martine, fell in love with Casas Benali. Due to the remote location, there was no electricity

network, which challenged us to live off the grid.

Fortunately there was a water source. They also did not shy away from the immense terrain

with, among other things, 2000 ecological olive trees, fruit and walnut trees and the care

thereof.

Meet your facilitators

Dr Majda Zachari - Founder & Lead Online Educator

Maj is the founder & director of the Integrated Somatic Institute and the intellectual developer &

owner of the Triple Vagal Method® (TVMTM). With the online course you will have access to 205

hours of recordings of her classes and teachings on the theory behind the Triple Vagal Method and

its application. She will also be digitally dialing in throughout the in-person training retreat to provide

learnings to the founder of the modality.

A highly compassionate therapist and international educator in the fields of PsychoSomatics &

Healing. She has studied with institutes like SOAS; University of London, University of Hull &

Bellevue University. She also holds numerous certifications and trainings from Stanford

University and the Gestalt Institute, and has studied ancient healing methods in bodywork,

meditation, tantra, silent retreats and embraced various spiritual practices.

Her main passion has always been to find a way to effectively heal her own traumas,

alongside her clients. She had suffered with CPTSD, depression and other personal crises

like a failed first marriage and seeing her two children (Jacob & Jenna) suffer due to

inheriting generational trauma that made her passionate about dedicating her life to the path

of true and sustainable trauma healing. The desire to feel true liberation & inner peace

inspired her to fuse eastern holistic modalities with neuroscience theory & bottom up

psychology. As a result of extensive studies, countless trainings and years of practice in her

therapy center; the Triple Vagal Method® was born.

In her teaching and counseling, she integrates over 20 years of experience in psychology,

spiritual practices, leading healing & educational trainings and retreats into a powerful

cauldron for rapid transformation. Her mode of delivery combines humor & light

heartedness to easily shift the harder blocks smoothly. She consistently gets 5 star reviews

in her trainings feedback.

Pippa Downs - Lead Retreat Educator

Pippa is a passionate and empathic educator who brings insight from her career in

mental health, somatic healing and adult education to provide powerful healing and

learning experiences for those who choose to engage with this beautiful modality. She

will be Lead Educator for the in-person training, calling on her experience leading adults

through transformational educational experiences to deliver serious content with an

open heart and light hearted sense of play.

They say that we grow up to be the hero our inner child needed and in my case that’s

definitely true. I had a difficult and traumatic childhood after losing my father at a young age

and in finding my way through the pain, I felt called to use the skills and experience I

developed on my own healing journey to help others. This manifested itself in a varied

career working in social services with disadvantaged children, refugees, homeless people &

people with mental illnesses. I loved the work but seeing friends, family and clients

struggling with persistent complaints, I always felt that there must be a missing piece that

would make true healing possible without the years of therapy, treatments and medications.

I took the decision to travel to Mexico on my own journey of healing and first received a

TVMTM session in the mountains of Oaxaca, instantly feeling my whole body light up as it

was finally being met, held and understood. This soon led to me training as a TVMTM

Practitioner and going on to complete the TVMTM Pelvic Floor training, TVMTM Advanced

Practitioner, TVMTM Educator and TVMTM Pelvic Floor Educator training. I have spent more

than 500 hours studying and training with Dr. Maj Zachari and am super excited to pass on

the skills and knowledge I’ve learned with this incredible modality.

TVMTM has completely changed my life: I have experienced a personal and professional

uplevelling that I could never have dreamed of. I discovered the missing piece of the puzzle

to recovering from trauma with TVMTM somatic therapy and I'm honoured to be teaching this

medicine so that you can help yourself and others heal as well.

Madison Brown - Lead Retreat Educator

Maddie has always been deeply fascinated by the human mind and how it functions, and after

studying psychology and embarking on an eight-year self-study journey, she found both what

she was looking for and so much more than she could have ever dreamed. A mind that no

longer governs her, a body to which she is intuitively attached, an endless love for life, a

nourishing love for herself, and an abundance and fulfillment in each blessing of each moment.

Hwr awareness, clarity, focus, and motivation are all rapidly increasing, she is better equipped to

realize my objectives and dreams every day, and my relationships and intimacy with life are

fulfilling and priceless. Her enthusiasm and excitement flow out from her, and when her

emotions wash through her like clouds, she is in a good amount control of how she responds.

Her mind no longer attacks her with the kinds of stories it formerly did. She is deeply grateful for

life and everything it has to offer; she now understands her purpose and is living her best life.

Maddie has reached a spacious place within herself and have a magnificent tool belt of gifts to

share with others as a ceremonialist facilitator, reiki master, and student of yoga, meditation,

and trauma therapy. She had a deep calling to learn TVM, which I listened to instinctively and

followed. Ever since, everything has been clear to her. The best present she could have given

herself was a calm nervous system, which she can now graciously share in co regulating with

others. Practicing TVM is like returning to your true self. She firmly believes that enlightenment

means having a balanced nervous system and a mind devoid of the stories and traumas kept in

the body. She supports and teaches this technique because she truly believe in its

effectiveness; you can only contribute in moving toward a brighter life going forward.

Inner Alchemy retreats with Maddie and Pippa.

Our mission is to help you discover the truest expression of your authentic self, behind the

layers of compensation your body and mind has cleverly built up to protect you from trauma.

With these untruths and defence mechanisms lovingly questioned, examined and disarmed.

Inner Alchemy Retreats are a powerful blend of the approaches of Maddie and Pippa,

This 4 month training is made up of a self-paced online learning programme plus a 2 week

in-person retreat to consolidate the skills you’ve learned and give an embodied

understanding of the modality.

The hundreds of registered TVM Practitioners that are changing lives all around the world

are proof that you don’t have to be in therapy for years to heal and it's also entirely possible

to activate your healing capacity and become a somatic therapist in a matter of weeks.

Learning the Triple Vagal Method in itself is relatively straightforward.

The art form lies in having the level of trust and inner intimacy with the self that you hear the

whispers of your intuition and feel confident following in the direction of the innate wisdom

that lies in the fabric of your being which knows which part of your client’s body needs

attention and when. This is where Inner Alchemy Retreats come in.

Inner Alchemy Retreats with Maddie and Pippa are thoughtfully designed to give you the

time and space outside of the routines and habits of your day to day life to create new

rituals, disarm the protective layers of impulsive reaction created by trauma and shine the

light of your conscious awareness on the motivations and root causes of limiting patterns of

thought and action.

Inner Alchemy retreats are deeply profound experiences aimed at facilitating rapid

rehabilitation of the nervous system, deep inner intimacy and connection to self, source,

community and your higher calling. This deepened capacity for self-enquiry.

Where you can examine the motivations and root causes behind potentially limiting believes

you may be carrying that are holding you back from reaching your greatest potential in this

lifetime.
