Shed your skin - Adapt - Innovate

A retreat at Reber Rock Farm

Dates: September 12-14, 2025

Location: Reber Rock Farm in Essex, NY

Did you know that your stress and chronic pain are keeping secrets?

Ancient wisdom teaches us that our bodies tell us the stories that our minds don’t want us to hear, and when we aren’t willing to listen our stress and pain grows. What if we knew how to connect with our bodies, and let go of stress for good

2025 is the year of the wood snake, an auspicious year to embrace change, reflection and deliberate decision-making.  Join us on the farm in Essex, NY to connect with your inner wisdom and grow into your desires.

Join Nathan Henderson of Reber Rock Farm and Monica Arrieta of Modern Tides Coaching & Consulting

Join us on a transformation from stress, pain, and over-obligation to ease and fulfillment in this lighthearted and liberating 3-day retreat at the beautiful Reber Rock Farm.

Whether you are dealing with stress and pain and wanting to make a transformation in your life or intensely curious about the body-mind connections that result in pain and disease, this on-farm retreat will leave you feeling more relaxed, engaged, motivated, creative and empowered in your own life.

We will spend 3-days together 

• Exploring body-mind connections in real time so that you can get the important answers you need about your own health and wellbeing
• Practicing ancient body-mind healing methods so that you have tools to strengthen your own body, emotions, and mind
• Wandering purposefully through nature so that you can reconnect with that lost part of yourself which is longing to be remembered and expressed 

Together we will shed the stress and pain responses that shape so much of our lives and acknowledge the opportunities that lie within to heal the source of what ails us.  

We offer a range of lodging options to fit your needs. Room or shared room in a local AirBNB, on-farm cabins, on-farm camping.

Facilitators

• Monica Arrieta is a guide for those seeking to step out of the shadows of self-doubt and into the light of their true selves. With years of experience leading and mentoring at some of the world’s most iconic companies, she’s learned that the most profound transformations begin within—by understanding who you are at your core. She once wrestled with the belief that she had to be perfect to be worthy of love and success. But when she discovered the beauty of embracing all of herself, everything shifted. Now, she is passionate about helping others experience that same shift: breaking free from fear and self-doubt and stepping confidently into the life they’re meant to live.

• Nathan Henderson is the co-owner of Reber Rock Farm, a pasture raised certified organic meat and maple farm in Essex, NY established in 2013.  He is a geologist, musician, business owner, farmer, father and partner.  Teaching has been a subconscious thread throughout Nathan’s life, as a tennis pro, outdoor educator and farm mentor, and became a conscious choice after a herniated disk left him immobilized in bed for 3 months in 2021. Since it was Covid, he had to schedule elective pain management surgery 6 months out, and he looked for another solution to his pain.  Narcotics and edibles didn’t touch the pain effectively, and through work with Brian Trzaskos and the Somatic Coaching Academy Nathan began to untangle the relationship between body, pain and perception. Long before the surgery date he was on the path to recovery  and remains pain free today.  Learn more about his journey in this podcast series. This experience inspired him to become a life coach, and he launched his one-on-one coaching and group classes in January 2024.
