A BreathWork Retreat for Health Care Providers and All Those Who Work In-Service to Others

“This workshop was safe, powerful, expansive, and transformative.”

Once we are called to the path of service it can be challenging to remain available for others when our own life events become overwhelming. This retreat offers you an opportunity to do deep, personal work and clear feelings of sacrifice, fatigue and burnout.

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
• Create a compelling vision for your future, and develop the resources to
• implement it.

This workshop will provide an opportunity to…

• Re-remember who you really are,
• Re-connect with yourself as a healing professional, and
• Re-commit 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 others. This workshop is designed for all health care practitioners including: massage, physical, occupational, and recreational therapists; doulas, midwives, nurses; doctors, counselors, therapists, psychologists, and anyone who walks the Path of Service.

Enjoy a personal renewal retreat. Share the journey of “Self Care on the Path of Service.”

“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!”

“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
