Healing, Laughter & Leading With Authenticity

In episode 4 of RetreatLab, Mizata by Antiresort’s Director of Retreats Rosalia Dawn, chats with somatic practitioner and yoga instructor Katie Schiffgen about her journey of self-discovery—from her Mormon upbringing to leading international retreats. Katie hosted her first retreat in El Salvador at Antiresort in January 2025. Katie shares how movement, laughter, and community help create authentic healing spaces and introduces TRE (Trauma Release Exercises) as a gentle yet powerful tool for releasing stored trauma. They explore the magic of safe spaces, the joy of playfulness, and the importance of flexibility when guiding retreats. With warmth and wisdom, Katie reminds us that healing isn’t just about processing—it’s about moving, laughing, and finding freedom.
