Restorative Retreat for Therapists
Therapists carry the emotional weight of many; we created this retreat to create a space for us to come together and process our own experiences and manage the unique demands of this work.
March 13-15, 2026
Join us for a weekend of community, growth, and restoration with opportunity to earn up to 10 live hours of Continuing Education Units!
Led by Kristin Condie, LCSW-R, and Mia Cicoria-Timm, MSW Intern, this retreat offers a nurturing, restorative space designed to support therapists' well-being. Through guided reflections, journaling, yoga, and nature hikes, participants will have the opportunity to reconnect with themselves and their purpose. Therapists can earn CEUs focused on self-care, mindfulness, and navigating the complexities of transference and countertransference. Together, we will explore strategies to cultivate work–life balance and foster a deep sense of inner peace.
