PAST EVENTS

“The gift of our past is the ability to make tomorrow better!”  Retreat Participant

September, 2002 - Soul Journeys

In this retreat, we share a piece of our individual Soul Journeys leading to renewal of Self.  We identify and experience feelings, tend to burnout, explore mental, physical, and spiritual blocks in a safe environment, and bond with like-minded souls.  

January, 2003 and January, 2005 - Healing the Healers

Call it healer burnout, compassion fatigue, or vicarious retraumatization... helping others takes a toll on the helper!  Sometimes as professionals, we forget to take care of ourselves and our need to express feelings, share tears, struggles, and successes.  This workshop is the direct result of Beverly’s master’s thesis incorporating insight on burnout, support from other healers, experiential techniques, and catharsis using the Native American medicine wheel as a reflective tool.  Each participant leaves the workshop with an assessment of their burnout level AND a plan to handle it after they leave!    

September, 2003 - Unmasking the Soul

This retreat is about unmasking the Soul.  The mask is directly linked to the persona we each carry around.  You will learn the value of unmasking, what masks you wear and why, and to honor it all.  Each participant will create a mask to take home.  

September, 2004 - Mandala Mysteries

Mandala making is a sacred art form used for centuries as a meditative focus for healing and personal transformation.  Create a Mandala through projection from your psyche, explore it through meditation, and leave the workshop ready to live it!  Your Mandala can become your spiritual compass and can set your dreams into motion.  

September, 2005 - Fall Harvest

Fall brings about a time of endings and transitions. Sometimes the grief work is literal, about people or pets we have lost; and, often it is about the awareness around the loss of things that “could have been” or the change in a job, divorce, letting go of a crutch like alcohol or drugs, etc. There are many things we grieve and Fall seems to be the perfect time, as the leaves change and fall to the ground, so must our tears.  This workshop is full of grief rituals and experiential techniques to address any and all types of grief.”

January, 2006 - Tending the Wounded Child Within

This intensive wounded inner child workshop includes psychodrama, feelings work, art, and music therapy all combined to break through past emotional blocks or deepen your current therapy process.  In doing our personal work, we become more present and authentic in our current lives.
