Solstice Retreat
for Helping Professionals

This nurturing nature- and creative arts-based retreat offers respite from a busy schedule and the energetic demands of being a helping professional.

If you are a therapist, healer, counselor, coach, or community leader seeking to reset the balance between tending to others and yourself, this retreat offers you three days and two nights of nature immersion, creative self-expression, group discussion, movement, and meditative practices.

• Reset your nervous system with practical tools for reclaiming a sense of calm

• Create a customized map that aligns with your unique gifts and goals

• Connect with other like-hearted helping professionals to build community

We’ll tap into a sense of wonder and awe, and reflect on values, passions, and pursuits during the transformative transition of the summer solstice.

You’ll leave feeling relaxed and reinspired to enter a new phase of service and self-care.

Location/Accommodations

Retreat to a beautiful place in the mountains of Colorado (just two hours Northwest of Denver). The Solstice Retreat for Helping Professionals will be held at the Steel Mandala — a small getaway nestled in 10 acres of alpine forest in Fraser, Colorado — near Winter Park. This unique cluster of buildings was inspired by the landscape and sits among pine, spruce, and aspen. Take a walk on tranquil trails, stick your toes in mountain creeks, or nap in a hammock under the trees. You’re welcome to stay at Steel Mandala, or stay off site and join us for retreat activities.
