Sonoma Valley Mind-Body Retreat
Sonoma Valley, California, October 12-16, 2022: This is a learning retreat in the valley of the moon, Sonoma, CA. We will stay on a private property designed for retreats. We have multiple presenters focusing on self-compassion, post trauma recovery and somatic based interventions. This retreat includes CEs, all meals, lodging, and a tour of the Napa Valley and Sonoma Valley vineyards
We will immerse you in nature so that you can truly disconnect, rejuvenate, and relate.
Our retreats are for psychotherapists. We cannot talk about our jobs among friends and family, and nobody really understands what we “do” and the challenges of being a therapists aka healer. Attending retreats exclusive to therapists allows you the freedom to discuss your business. You will make lifelong friendships with other therapists that will be there for you to support as you move forward.
Designed to provide a safe space for therapists to process everything they hold for others while juggling multiple hats, personally and professionally.
Our retreats are all-inclusive. We take care of your lodging, meals, excursions, and day-to-day activities. It’s hard for some, but we want to care for you so that YOU can relax and get the most out of your time. You will be a part of a private group as we prepare and plan for our adventure. You will receive a checklist and itinerary before your retreat. We aim to take as much off your plate as possible.
Most retreats include continuing education credits (CEs). We strive to coordinate learning retreats that offer value. We want you to leave feeling like you have something new to use and that you are confident in taking new skills and knowledge into your practice.
Our retreats are not the typical “sit and learn” retreats. There are no round tables where you end up with a stiff neck and back from sitting for 2 days. There are no lectures or being “talked at”. We believe in movement and environment, ideally in nature. We want you to move and be stimulated. We will immerse you and flood your senses so that you can truly disconnect, rejuvenate, and relate.
Some retreats are very adventurous, and others are more about practicing clinical skills in a relaxed setting. Both types are centered around your self-care.
