Retreats for Helping Professionals, individually or in small groups.
 

• The purpose of such retreats is to give participants a first hand experience of this approach to therapy, from the benefits of the nurturing surroundings, to the therapeutic properties of the various expressive therapies ( art therapy, sand play therapy, doll house play, story writing, sewing, the use of family photographs, visualization, etc…

• It will also be an opportunity to explore and find new helpful ways of dealing with the issues that affect the effectiveness and best use of self as a therapist (i.e.: family of origin issues, dealing with life transitions and challenges, self-care, balance between personal and professional life, vicarious traumatization, maintaining the integrity of one's work in the days of managed care etc….)

   

• The particular focus of this self- exploration will be based on the most pressing needs of each individual.
• Each day (from 3 to5 hours per day) will be spent in self – exploration.
• The rest of the day will be a free time that can be spent journaling, walking, swimming, cycling, kayaking, lying on the beach, bird watching and enjoying the beauty of the island through the various seasons; a time to nurture oneself, rest and recreate.
• The length of the retreat can vary from two days to five days.
• Available all year round.
