Let The Beauty Begin ~ Jayne, Saundra, Seema, Rohini and Julia along with an illustrious staff and guest presenters are facilitating a 5 day retreat which includes a program for licensed professionals for learning and development. This promises to be a transformative, loving, safe and dynamic experience in community with awesome humans and nature.
Clinicians interested in a comprehensive and deep dive into mindfulness and wellness working in small groups and residential retreats are encouraged to apply. This program includes an abundance of resources and aligns with our mission to ease suffering by creating space for joy in community with others. Working with psychedelics demands a high level of skill, humility and self awareness. MBSR (mindfulness based stress reduction), creative writing, guided meditations and visualizations, Noble Communication, poetry, movement, wellness-enhancing practices, and storytelling are core components of this program. Rohini is excited to share ayurvedic practices; Saundra shares her WILD 5 program…..all of us will fill your plate with love, wisdom and practice knowledge. See www.relationshipresources.info for details about the retreat itself (bios for the lead facilitators will be posted on the website) . All clinicians in this program will receive an e-manual with timelines, resources, and other important material you may find useful to integrate into your practice.
