Retreat: Rooting Resilience Retreat March 13-15, 2026

The retreat invites participants to slow down, reconnect with what grounds them, and restore the internal resources needed to remain present, humane, and connected in the world.

This immersive experience weaves together nervous system science, somatic practice, nature connection, and collective support. Rather than learning through lecture alone, participants engage through embodied practice—moving through the phases of Regulate, Relate, Reflect, and Reimagine in relationship with self, others, and the natural world. This retreat is both restorative and practical, offering tools that can be carried back into clinical work, education, leadership, and daily life—supporting sustained resilience for the long and meaningful work ahead.
