Self-care is not selfish. You can't pour from an empty cup.

Self-care – intentional activities that have a desirable effect on your overall health and well-being – are necessary for us to live a healthy and well-balanced life. They become even more important when we are in service to others in any capacity. Engaging in self-care helps to prevent and mitigate the negative impacts of both acute and chronic stress on the body. In addition, improved self-care is the cornerstone of preventing and treating burnout and compassion fatigue, common among healers and those in service to others. Self-care begins with self-awareness and then taking intentional steps to make self-care a priority.

In this mini-retreat, we will explore a variety of self-care activities for the body, mind, heart and spirit. Practicing loving kindness and compassion turned inward, we will build a self-care buffer zone to improve our resiliency when stress shows up in our lives. With these new tools in place, we will be better equipped to serve others from our abundance and increase our aliveness.

Through Qigong (gentle standing movement) followed by meditation, restorative yoga with sound meditation we will move into relaxation.

This retreat will guide you in fostering self-love, self-compassion, and reigniting your self-care routines. You’ll tap into your natural state of wholeness while enjoying nourishing food and the company of like-minded women.

Mini massage and Reiki sessions will be available on a first-come, donation basis to help deepen your healing experience.

This retreat will also include a special creative workshop led by Jo Ann Briseno that will allow you to embrace your inner kindness by crafting a unique watercolor zine. This playful activity encourages you to let go of self-criticism and celebrate your creativity.

By the end of the retreat, you’ll leave with a personalized self-care plan and small daily habits to integrate lasting self-care into your life. Reconnect with yourself and others in a space dedicated to your well-being and growth.
