Rest, Restore, Reset Retreats
For Psychologists and Therapists
Kirstie invites you to rest, restore and replenish on these 3 night/ day retreats for psychologists and therapists, drawing on somatic practices, yoga and beautiful nature to address and soothe feelings of stress, burnout and exhaustion.
We do a difficult job in caring for others in great pain, and this can impact our minds, bodies and souls over time. Many of us have learned to put our own needs and feelings aside from early in life (which might make us beautifully attuned therapists!), so tending to ourselves amidst the demands of life and work may not come easily.
Having reached burnout a number of times in my 30 year career, in moments considering that I might need to change my job completely, I am passionate about sharing ways of shifting our relationship to our work, and offering as much nurturing and compassion to us as therapists, as we give to our clients. After all, we are humans with our own stresses, pains and challenges too!
On these retreats, we use yoga and somatic techniques to gently reconnect with and soothe our nervous systems, bodies and minds. We will use reflection practices to address those burdened parts of ourselves that might tend towards striving or holding responsibility for others, so that we might envisage a different, more sustainable way of working and tending to ourselves.
All of this is offered in beautiful, natural settings, with delicious meals, and time for relaxation, alone time or chatting with other like-minded people, so that you can return home restored and renewed.
If you are looking for a replenishing mini break from life and work, that is also tax-deductible and offers CPD points, these retreats are for you!
