stuck in go go go mode
wanting to travel to Thailand but don’t want to go alone
longing for beauty, play, spaciousness and deep exhale energy
… I made this for you.
Â
This isn’t just a retreat to Thailand. It’s a return to the you that existed before survival energy became your baseline.

Hi, I’m Rae Okino —
Certified Somatic Coach + Facilitator.Â
Founder of The Inside Job Club and Somatic Laughter
Creator of Pause + Play Somatic Retreats.
After 20+ years of attending, organizing and facilitating retreats around the world, I’ve discovered that the deepest transformation doesn’t come from doing more... it comes from slowing down enough to truly experience where you are.
Travel naturally increases neuroplasticity by introducing your brain to new environments, cultures, languages, and experiences. When paired with intentional rest, play and somatic practices, it becomes a powerful catalyst for healing, creativity, and lasting change.
Pause + Play blends nervous system regulation, cultural immersion, adventure, and deep restoration. Because when your body feels safe enough to slow down, you don’t just visit a place… you let it transform you.
“Working with Rae during the somatic workshop in Thailand was an incredible experience. It had been so long since I was able to truly embrace my inner child — through laughter, tears, and deep emotional release, I felt a sense of freedom I didn’t realize I needed. I left feeling lighter and still look back on that experience with so much fondness.”Â
Amanda
“Rae facilitated my first ever somatic workshop and it was such an incredible experience. I feel that talk therapy has only taken me so far and the physical movement and laughter really did wonders for my nervous system and it was so fun!! Rae is such a light and doing exactly what they were meant for!”
Sami Skinner
IS PAUSE + PLAY SOMATIC RETREAT RIGHT FOR YOU?
If you’re really good at showing up for everyone else but hilariously bad at slowing down for yourself… you’ll fit right in. And if Thailand has been living on your bucket list for years, consider this your sign.
Come let your nervous system exhale. We’ll go at our own pace, play, laugh until we cry, eat incredible food, swim in the ocean, go on side quests and experience Thailand the way it was meant to be experienced—not rushed, but fully lived!

SOMATIC RETREAT
THIS IS NOT…
A packed itinerary.
A personal growth marathon.
Or twelve-hour workshop days disguised as self-care.
This is a pause.
And a remembering.
Because sometimes the most radical thing a nervous system can experience…
is having absolute autonomy to explore at your own pace...
What Thailand does best!!!
I’ve never been on a retreat. Will I fit in?
Do I need experience with somatic work, yoga, or meditation?
Will there be free time?
Do I need a visa to travel to Thailand?
When should I book my flight?
Can I bring a friend or partner?
What’s the weather like in Thailand in March?
How many people will be there?
Will I have my own room?
I’m always taking care of everyone else. Will I actually get to relax?
Is this worth the investment?
What airport do I fly into?
What should I pack?
