Now that we’re retired here’s a glimpse into a previous offering:

Compassion Fatigue on The Path of Service

A BreathWork Workshop for Health Care Professionals and All Those Who Work In-Service to Others

Mara Self Care 4x5

“This workshop was safe, powerful, expansive, and transformative.”
~Dennis, LMT, October 2006

Once you are called to “The Path of Service” it can be challenging to remain available for others when your own life events or the world around you becomes overwhelming. Self Care offers an opportunity for health care professionals, and those who work in service to others, to do the deep personal work of clearing compassion fatigue and releasing burnout. This is the key to working from a clear foundation of ethical integrity.

We will explore the transformational journey of BreathWork and other guided processes in the supportive embrace of a community of healers.

Take time out for yourself…

  • Review your life path and identify your personal challenges.
  • Engage in individual, one-on-one, small group, and large group experiential processes designed to address each person’s challenges or concerns.
  • Create a compelling vision for your future, by developing healthier boundaries and the communication resources to implement it.

This workshop provides an opportunity to…

  • Remember who you really are.
  • Reconnect with your caring true nature as well as your personal priorities, and
  • Recommit to your path with clear vision, passion, and action!

Take time to actively breathe spirit back into your life and clear the way for being fully present—with yourself first—which is the foundation for being fully present with others. This workshop is designed for all health care practitioners including: massage, physical, occupational, and recreational therapists; doulas, midwives, nurses; doctors, counselors, therapists, psychologists, etc. and all who walk the Path of Service. All are welcome!

Enjoy a personal renewal retreat…share the journey of…Self Care on the Path of Service.

What did you like best about the Self Care workshop?


“Your insight and ability to create a supportive environment–so far from my home in Ohio–helps me remember that I am strong and capable, able to better care for others when I care for myself first. That’s why I keep coming back year after year and recommend it to my friends and colleagues.”
~Krisanna Deppen, Physician, May 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 (with plans for 2018)


“I am so grateful for the opportunity to spend time with Kassy and Victor. They have a special gift of inclusiveness, kindness, and curiosity. My life is so much better because of their talents.”
~Melissa Mitchell, Attorney,
May 2017


“The segment on identifying your personal values was profound for people like myself who find themselves too engrossed in their service profession to take the time to think. This alone will change the way I plan my life in the future.”
~Sharon Forster-Blouin, PhD, DVM,
May 2017


“The facilitators are great! This is my first time and I know I will return often. I have regained my personal power to more forward with strength and confidence. My nervous system is settled. I have a calm, peaceful sense of where and how to proceed. My breath is powerful and deep. The journey of self discovery and the willingness to process is very POTENT. I’m grateful for your love, support, compassion and humor!”
~Reisae Young, LMT,
October 2009


“I love this workshop! I was able to identify and shift a self limiting belief in a safe, loving environment. I’ve remembered that I am a loving, compassionate, authentic woman.”
~Amy Carmona, RN, October 2006, October 2009


“Where better to hold this workshop than the amazing, powerful and healing sacred space of Breitenbush. Each participant taught me so much, mostly that every one of us is worthy of love, attention and forgiveness.”
~Annelise Heitman, LCSW, October 2008, October 2009


“I was given tools that I can take home with me to the ‘real world.’ I’ve realized that I need to take more time for myelf and then I’ll be a better mom, wife, friend, sister, daughter. I will also be BREATHING, BREATHING, BREATHING!”
~Aymee Wilson, LMT, October 2009


“Not only did I leave feeling nourished I received what I wanted in a safe and caring approach.Thank you!”
~Bobbi Hyland, LMT, October 2007, October 2009

~Lynette Dickson, LMT, October 2009

“I am in awe of the power of my breath. I’ve remembered that I am a strong and open woman, trusting and free!”
~Angel Rain, RN, May 2006, April 2008


“I want to thank all of you for the gifts you brought to the retreat, and for those you gave to me. I have been amazed at how often I put to use the things I learned — from breathing, to rock passing, to simply sitting with others in anxious states. I learned a lot from you and I am grateful. I am also grateful for just the time away, with folks like you, people intent on bringing more joy, more love, more healing & more meaning into their lives, and equally determined to spread it around. I felt held and healed by you in more ways than I can even imagine.”
~In the Big Love, Susan Leo, pastor, October 2006


“The supportive kinship (and humor!) that was cultivated within the group created a safe environment for self disclosure, examination, and healing. I continue to practice some of the breathwork skills that were taught and have found benefit especially for stress and insomnia. I have a richer, deeper and more honest relationship with people in my life, especially my husband. I am better able to examine my behaviors and actions in relation to my values. Thank you.”
~Susan Carr, ND, May 2006


“ I appreciated the trust and openness that was fostered; the laughter, the flow, the sense of play and creativity. I benefited from the personal affirmation and encouragement to stretch and grow. I gained tools to improve my way of being in relationship and in the world.”
~Sharon Hall, RN, September, 2005


“I liked EVERYTHING about the workshop and the facilities. My heart is lighter.”

My Mission To model a community-designed ideal medical practice that renews the sacred patient-physician relationship. My personal Vision/Mission : To love everyone”
