About the Event

This weekend is about finding new ways to adapt to the many changes that occur because of life challenges and loss. Many of us are facing challenges due to: employment changes, cancelled plans and altered relationships.

During the weekend retreat a variety of creative processes will be used to understand the impact of these changes and their impact on our relationships, and how to build resiliency at this time. There will be opportunities for reflection, social connection and learning about resilience and self-care.  We will explore new ways to retrieve our life energies which allow us to navigate situations with a sense of peace.

This retreat is suitable for individuals living with anxiety, who have suffered a loss, who want to enhance their overall well-being, and who feel stuck and are searching for new meaning in life.
