Let’s allow ourselves to feel, reflect, and release in the safe, sacred environment of this retreat. Surrounded by the beauty of nature, we find space to breathe, to pause, and to let grace begin to enter our stories.

Breakout Sessions:
Understanding Grief: The Emotional Landscape
Lead by: Adriana Rodriguez - LMFT
This session explores the complex and varied emotions that accompany grief, providing a comprehensive understanding of the grieving process. Participants will learn about complex and individual nature of grief, moving beyond the traditional concept of linear stages. We will explore how grief is a deeply personal experience that can manifest in various ways, often fluctuating over time as well as understand the types of grief, how grief can manifest in unexpected ways, and strategies for navigating their emotional landscape with compassion and self-awareness. This workshop aims to equip attendees with the tools to honor their feelings, recognize the nuances of their grief, and find a path toward healing and grace.
Minerals 101: Understanding & Supporting the Raw Materials our Bodies Need to Thrive
Lead by: Jennifer Carrillo - OT + functional nutrition & hormone health
Minerals are the raw materials our bodies need to function on a basic level. We can’t produce them, and they must be obtained from food. In my clinical experience, imbalanced minerals are often the root cause of sickness, disease, and suffering! Come prepared to learn exactly how supporting minerals can decrease physical stress & increase your body’s ability to thrive.
We will also have two licensed massage therapists to provide chair massages and and an esthetician who will give a mini facial that includes a cleanse, treatment, massage, and hydration. Each of these services will be available for an additional $35 fee and will last for twenty minutes.
