Understanding the Vagus Nerve
The vagus nerve is one of the longest and most influential nerves in the human body. It connects the brain to several vital organs and plays a key role in regulating the parasympathetic nervous system — responsible for rest, digestion, and recovery. When functioning optimally, the vagus nerve can help lower stress levels, enhance emotional balance, and support overall wellbeing. Its regulation is central to practices that cultivate calm and resilience.
A Journey into Stillness
‘’What Happens When We Intentionally Step Away from the Noise?’’
From 16th to 17th May, the Vagus Nerve Reset Retreat invited participants to step away from the demands of daily life and enter a state of intentional stillness. Over the course of 28 hours, within the Club’s natural surroundings, the experience offered a chance to slow down, reset, and reconnect — not as an escape, but as a way to return more fully to oneself.
Guided by a team of experienced practitioners, the retreat followed a carefully structured sequence of restorative practices — from movement and breathwork to moments of silence and reflection. A key component of the experience was also nourishment: thoughtfully prepared, anti-inflammatory meals rooted in principles of gut health, designed to support the body’s natural rhythm and reinforce the retreat’s calming, balancing effects from within.
Emphasis was placed on grounding, the therapeutic effects of sound frequencies — including nature’s 432Hz — and other methods shown to support vagal tone. The retreat concluded with a sound healing session, marking a quiet return to stillness.
