Science‑Grounded. Human‑Centered. Systematic Change.
BPR is a phased framework that blends psychological education, somatic regulation, practical nutrition, and (optionally) altered‑state work—designed for high‑achieving adults who want clear structure, measurable progress, and warm, non‑dogmatic guidance.
Who it’s for
Profile
High‑achieving adults (30‑70) from UK/DACH/Europe, rational and results‑oriented, often navigating stress, burnout, low mood, or loss of meaning.
- Prefer clear models over vague “wellness.”
- Value measurable change (sleep, calm, focus, HRV trends).
- Open to body‑mind methods and practical nutrition.
Common self‑descriptions
- “Always on, but strangely empty or flat.”
- “Anxious in high‑stakes settings; overcompensating.”
- “Stuck in loops—rumination, perfectionism, shutdown.”
What BPR offers
- A phased path: Stabilize → Illuminate → Embody.
- Low‑effort practices tied to daily anchors.
- Warm facilitation without labels or dogma.

Core principles
Trauma‑informed, non‑diagnostic
We treat behaviors and symptoms as adaptive signals. No clinical labels; we work with what you experience and what helps.
Low‑effort, high‑adherence
1–5‑minute micro‑practices, 1–3 at a time, stacked onto existing routines. Less friction → more follow‑through.
Quantifiable progress
Simple check‑ins; optional HRV/sleep trends. Before/after snapshots per phase to visualize change.
Scalable & structured
Clear session templates and psychoeducation, so the experience is consistent while still personal.
Resonance menus
Facilitator‑curated options so you choose tools that fit you—without overwhelm.
Optional altered‑state work
Retreats or RTT can be included when appropriate and safe. Otherwise, the protocol stands on its own.
Theoretical foundations (plain‑English)
Trauma lens (inspired by Maté)
Many chronic patterns begin as protection. We explore roots with compassion and practical tools.
- Mind–body unity: emotions show up in the body.
- Inquiry over judgment: “What is this protecting?”
RTT & rules of the mind (Marisa Peer)
Language, images, and repetition shape habits. We use targeted exercises to update old scripts.
NLP (practical cognition)
Reframing, anchoring, and working with inner imagery to change felt experience and behavior.
Polyvagal basics
Mapping states (safe, mobilized, shutdown) and using breath/connection to shift toward safety.
Parts work
Seeing protective “parts” with respect, then integrating them under calmer leadership.
Psychological flexibility (ACT‑inspired)
Defuse from sticky thoughts, reconnect with values, and take small meaningful actions.
Protocol phases
Stabilize — Calm the storm
- Establish a workable baseline and nervous-system steadiness.
- Micro-practices (1–5 min): body check-in, 4-7-8 breathing, sensory grounding, soothing touch, short nature exposure.
- Nutrition orientation begins (simple, low-friction swaps; optional IF).
- Session cadence: structured check-ins + bite-size psychoeducation + tiny practice plan.
Illuminate — Spark insights
The in-person retreat may include the optional use of psychedelics to help reveal insights and patterns. Participation is always contingent on safety screening and informed choice.
- Before: Screening call + group call, intention work, state-mapping, psychological flexibility drills.
- During: Co-regulation, parts-aware facilitation, clear boundaries, and safety protocols throughout.
- After: Integration call + group call to translate insights into practical next steps.
Retreat overview & dates: vine-of-the-soul.com/retreats
Embody — Anchor change
- Convert insight into reliable habits and renewed vitality.
- Short journaling prompts, gratitude micro-notes, value-aligned actions, light biofeedback check-ins.
- Community touchpoints (e.g., group shares) sustain momentum.
Safety & ethics
Informed choice
- Clear explanation of potential benefits, risks, and alternatives.
- Right to pause or stop at any time.
- Contraindications are screened; altered-state work is strictly optional.
Boundaries & conduct
- Professional boundaries; supervision and case review for facilitators.
- Confidential, respectful handling of client information.
Co-regulation tools
- Deliberate use of voice, pacing, breath, and environment to signal safety.
- Stop-signal agreements and escalation plans on site.
Data & privacy
- Simple check-ins; optional device data if a client chooses to track.
- Data is minimal, purpose-bound, and consent-based.
Outcomes & tracking
Before/after snapshots
Brief phase-start and phase-end check-ins track shifts in calm, agency, sleep quality, focus, and perceived vitality.
Optional biofeedback
Some clients like to view trends such as HRV or sleep staging. This is optional and never required.
Meaningful, not maximal
We aim for reliable improvements you can feel and maintain—quality over complexity.

Integrity & Satisfaction Guarantee
We stand fully behind the depth and quality of the BioPsyche Renewal process. If you begin the Stabilize phase and decide after your first three sessions that the program isn’t the right fit for you, you may stop at that point. We will refund the remaining sessions in full—no questions asked.
This policy reflects our core values of transparency, respect, and autonomy. Healing requires trust, and you’ll never be pressured to continue a process that doesn’t feel aligned.
Refunds apply exclusively to the Stabilize phase, since retreat and group components require logistical commitments. For multi-phase bookings, any unused later phases can be postponed or transferred to another start date.
