Enhance your well-being, slow-down and turn inward. To care for others, we need places to care for ourselves. By the Fireside is a daylong retreat for professional or family caregivers.
Become grounded in yourself through self-exploration, body-centred movement and focused dialogue with other caregivers. By working with reflective tools, connect and nurture sources of healing and wisdom within. Clarify what supports and prevents you in integrating self-care into daily life. Designed for renewal and the cultivation of self-compassion.
This retreat includes:
grounding practices to quiet the mind and soothe the nervous system
reflective processes and dialogue to access inner wisdom
body-centred movement for integration
ceremony to mark significant changes in our inner and outer landscapes, and as a vessel for mourning and release
space to connect with and be supported by nature
a nourishing lunch and snacks
social silence (speaking only when necessary) outside of the program sessions
Situated in a magical landscape encompassing 70 acres of new and old growth forests, this calming and environment provides breathtaking silence, Zen inspired gardens, semi-private lake access and private walking trails.
At the end of the day, this retreat includes an opportunity to care for your body and deepen relaxation through an onsite sauna and/or to spend more time being supported by and connected to nature in this stunning environment.
Ceremonies, reflective practices, expressive arts, and movement will vary at each retreat. For a more comprehensive retreat experience, consider registering for more than one retreat.
