Purpose

This is a retreat for all helping professionals to experience connection and co-regulation with one another through yoga, awareness, self-inquiry, and much-needed self-care for self-repair. You will also learn about non-duality and experience the exquisite “one-ness” of it all. 

All levels of experience with yoga and meditation are welcome!

Modifications and choices will be present in various styles of trauma-informed yoga geared towards increasing connection to the wisdom of the body (interoception) and the quieting of the mind. Learn yoga and breath practices to return to your window of tolerance, recharge, and connect on a deeper level with self, life, and others. Practice savoring the art of stillness, a requisite for going inwards to find the gold within.

Recharge Your Soul

Take home the knowledge and novel skill sets to create an enhanced connection with your Self, your purpose, and your clients.

Past Attendees

“I got so much out of this retreat. I learned a lot and had so much fun. I felt that I can use mindfulness in my practice at a much deeper level than previously”

“Helpful material to use personally and with clients, gentle compassionate energy with the therapist’s vantage point”

“It was an overall spectacular retreat. I was immersed in every part and the beautiful grounds and landscape helped me settle into mindfulness, or as I’ve learned “mindlessness”. Thank you!!!”

“Both Tricia & Mark provided a safe and calm place to practice, and yoga poses that were not too difficult, but very physically and mentally therapeutic. They presented easy-to-understand “techniques”

“Mark’s warmth and humor added a beautiful balancing element to this experience. The experiential elements of yoga and breath “re-rhythmed” me over the course of the week”

“Would participate again, 100%. Actually had time and care to help recover from secondary trauma from work & life”
