Details of this retreat
Imagine moving beyond mere survival and rediscovering the steadiness, clarity, and resilience that first called you to care for others. Join Kathy Heery, a Registered Nurse with more than 45 years of experience, for a day devoted to stabilizing the overwhelmed nervous system and restoring inner steadiness. At this retreat, caregivers will learn to recognize the tender edge between compassion and depletion and gain language for burnout, compassion fatigue, and boundary erosion.
Through guided reflection, mindfulness, journaling, breath and body practices, and practical daily tools, participants move from reactive survival into thoughtful response. In a safe, supportive community, caregivers will leave feeling seen, validated, and equipped with realistic restorative practices that fit into real life.

Biospiritual Focusing retreat at Genesis
I recently attended a five day Biospiritual Focusing retreat at Genesis. The program was excellent. The coordinators experience and wisdom were extremely helpful. I also appreciated their caring and responsiveness to anything I needed.
The staff at the retreat house created a caring, welcoming environment in every way. The food was excellent, and much appreciated. The grounds are beautiful and peaceful. It was a very positive experience, and am looking forward to my next retreat there.

BioSpiritual Focusing Retreat 8/26
I received so many gifts of new knowledge and experiences from all 4 instructors and many participants. As always I enjoyed all of the outdoor spaces, especially the labyrinth. I truly appreciate the space that was freely available in the chapel, carriage house and friendship hall for myself and others to offer optional groups.
