A remembering of the body’s wisdom.  

A reclamation of what it means to be fully human.

Set in the raw beauty of the natural world, PRIMAL invites you into elemental experiences that awaken your instincts, activate your purpose, and restore your nervous system.

You’ll gather around the fire, share nourishing food, sweat, breathe, dance, and drop into the places within that modern life tends to ignore.

What You Can Expect:

  • 🔥 Cold plunge + wood-fired sauna
  • 🔥 Primal movement + somatic dance
  • 🔥 Intuitive chef-led cooking class + collective nourishment
  • 🔥 Fireside connection + storytelling
  • 🔥 Somatic marketing activations

This isn’t a workshop.

It’s a remembrance.

A sacred pause in the wilderness — so you can lead from your most embodied, primal power.

Join us for an immersive journey into primal wisdom, real collaboration, and embodied leadership.

Primal Elements with Genya Klaiman

Begin with a transformative session where you’ll reconnect with nature through breath, movement, hot/cold therapy, and presence — awakening the innate wisdom within you to solve complex life and business challenges.

Chef-Led Cooking Class with Doris Fin

Dive into the art of creation with a hands-on cooking class, where intuition, creativity, and collaboration blend into a meal that nourishes your body and spirit. This class goes beyond recipes — it’s an exploration of how food can fuel leadership and personal growth.

Dinner and Visioning for Leadership

Gather at the table in the evening, not just to eat, but to imagine a new way of leading and shaping change. This dinner invites you to explore your leadership vision, alongside others who are committed to making a lasting impact in the world.

Somatic Movement + Marketing + Recalibration with Dani
Embodied Aliveness: Primal Dance & Movement Activation

Drop into the intelligence of your body and awaken the primal pulse that lives beneath the surface. In this session, Dani will guide you through elemental movement and dynamic somatic dance to reclaim your wild, expressive self. Expect to sweat, shake, release, and rewire. No choreography — just instinct. This is where your power lives.

Somatic Marketing: Move Your Message

Your message doesn’t live in a sales page. It lives in your bones.  

In this revolutionary session, Dani merges embodiment and business by guiding you to physically move your offer through your body. You’ll discover how your unique service wants to be expressed — somatically, vocally, and energetically — so that your content becomes an authentic transmission of truth, not just strategy. 

Sacred Recalibration: Restorative Somatic Practice

In this closing session, you’ll be guided through nervous system recovery and somatic integration — inviting safety, stillness, and softness into your body. Gentle breathwork, subtle movement, and restorative sequencing will leave you feeling deeply grounded, open, and ready to carry this new way of being into your leadership and life.

"I'm not a teacher: only a fellow traveler of whom you asked the way. I pointed ahead - ahead of myself as well as you."
- George Bernard Shaw

Doris Fin

Holistic Chef

With 15+ years of global experience, I’ve seen how mindful choices transform lives. When people understand food’s impact, they embrace a lifestyle that nourishes both body and soul.

Every meal is an opportunity to spark curiosity and momentum toward a healthier, more vibrant way of living. My goal? To bridge indulgence and nourishment — because great food should feel as good as it tastes.

Being healthy isn’t just personal—it’s a responsibility to those around us. When we prioritize our well-being and nourish ourselves with care, we show up stronger, more vibrant, and ready to make a meaningful impact on the world.

Everyone deserves to love the life they live, and that starts with real, high-quality food. My mission is to inspire people to fall in love with cooking, to embrace the joy of wholesome, delicious meals, and to experience the transformation that comes from eating with intention.

Let’s embark on this journey together—because when we eat well, we flourish and thrive.
