Details of this retreat
Price includes lodging, programming, fitness/yoga classes, contrast therapy and meals. Extra experiences (like massage or 1:1 coaching) can be added on separately after you register.
Everything on the schedule is optional. We want you to get what you need out of this weekend.
Check-in is Friday between 2:00-4:00pm. The first session is 4:30pm on Friday. We wrap up on Sunday around 10:30am, but we are about an hour outside San Diego and recommend planning some buffer time for travel and lunch so you're not rushed leaving. We also have an early-check in option if you'd like to add an extra day and come on Thursday. Then you would have 3 nights and 2 full days of full access to the property amenities, classes, and pre-retreat programming. You'll see that add-on as an option when you register.
Burnout has become an all-too-common experience, and it can impact anyone, regardless of their profession or background. If you've ever felt the crushing weight of never-ending responsibilities, experienced mental and physical exhaustion, or noticed a waning enthusiasm for things that used to bring you joy, you're not alone. The toll that burnout can take on your emotional, physical, and mental well-being is substantial, and it often goes unnoticed until it reaches a breaking point.
Our "Recovering from Burnout" retreat recognizes the pressing need for a dedicated space where individuals can escape the daily grind and reclaim their inner strength and vitality. Burnout often thrives in the absence of time and margin. We provide a nurturing environment for participants to pause, reflect, and regain a sense of control over their lives. It's an opportunity to step out of the perpetual cycle of doing and rekindle your passion, purpose, and joy.
This retreat is designed to be a sanctuary for self-restoration, an oasis of self-compassion and growth. We understand that the path to healing from burnout can be an intricate journey, and we're here to guide you through it. Together, we'll delve into the root causes of burnout, explore strategies for recovery, and foster lasting habits for self-care and resilience. If you've ever wondered how to overcome the ceaseless drain of burnout, join us on this transformative retreat. It's your time to prioritize your well-being, regain your energy, and rediscover the vibrant, purposeful life that awaits beyond burnout's shadow.
OPTIONAL WORKSHOPS
Pre-Retreat Session: Finding Your Starting Point
Join us for a grounding pre-retreat session designed to set the tone for our time together. This is an opportunity to reflect on where you currently stand with burnout—exploring your stress levels, energy reserves, and any contributing factors. We’ll discuss the importance of early awareness and set personal intentions for the retreat, focusing on what you hope to gain and how you want to feel. This session helps you arrive, both physically and mentally, preparing you for the journey toward a more balanced and sustainable way of living.
Workshop 1: Understanding and Honoring Burnout
In this workshop, we'll take a compassionate and in-depth look at burnout. You'll start by identifying the personal and environmental triggers that contribute to burnout in your life. We’ll then dive into the science behind burnout, learning how it affects the nervous system and why it can be so physically and emotionally draining. By recognizing the signs and symptoms—whether they manifest as physical fatigue, emotional overwhelm, or behavioral changes—you'll gain a clearer understanding of what burnout looks like and how it uniquely affects you.
Workshop 2: Recovery Strategies for Rebuilding Well-Being
Once we understand burnout, it’s time to focus on recovery. This workshop explores a range of stress reduction techniques, including mindfulness practices, relaxation exercises, and other methods to reduce anxiety and tension. We'll delve into neurological regulation practices to promote emotional resilience and discuss practical ways to incorporate these into your daily routine. You'll also learn strategies for creating a healthier work-life balance, including how to set boundaries that prevent burnout and allow you to thrive.
Workshop 3: Nurturing Boundaries and Embracing Support
Healthy boundaries are essential to preventing burnout. In this session, you’ll gain clarity on your personal boundaries and learn how to define and enforce them in both your personal and professional life. We'll discuss the concept of "enough" and how recognizing your limits can lead to a more balanced and fulfilling life. Additionally, we’ll explore the importance of asking for help and how to effectively communicate your needs without hesitation. This is about breaking down barriers that prevent you from seeking support and building a network that uplifts you.
Workshop 4: Creating a Burnout-Resistant Life
The final workshop focuses on creating a sustainable lifestyle that guards against burnout. You'll clarify your personal values and vision for a meaningful life, using this as a foundation to set identity-based goals that align with who you want to become. We’ll discuss how to build a support network of practices, connections, and relationships that enhance your well-being. By the end, you’ll have a roadmap to prioritize purpose and cultivate a life that is resilient to burnout.
