Retreats & Events

Holding space for helpers — to simply be.

Yoga, meditation, time for personal reflection, supported rest and restoration: these are hallmarks of Jennifer’s retreats, designed specifically to support helpers.

Are you…

  • employed in a helping profession?

  • a parent or elder caregiver?

  • pushing through everything that needs to get done, but feeling exhausted on a deep level?

  • someone who conveys the appearance of having it all together, but feel like you’re falling apart inside?

  • pretending you’re ‘ok’ but maybe not?

  • experiencing headaches, fatigue, or insomnia?

  • unaware of how you really feel because you’re keeping it together for your patients, clients, or family?

If you answered yes to any of these, you may be ready for a retreat.

Are you:

-Employed in a helping profession?

-A parent or elder caregiver?

-Pushing through everything that needs to get done, but feeling exhausted on a deep level?

-Someone who looks like you have it ‘all together’ on the outside but feel like you are falling apart inside?

-Unaware of how you are really feeling because you are keeping it together for your patients, clients or family?

Then this day retreat is for you. Join for me for a day of yoga, self-compassion. meditation and rest. Our time together will include a gentle flow yoga practice, exploration of self-care and self-compassion through teaching and personal reflection, meditation and will conclude with a restorative yoga practice. No prior yoga or meditation experience necessary. Lunch is also included. All you need to do is show up.

My intention for this day is to provide you with space from your life and all of the responsibilities that go along with it. Together we will explore body based and heart opening practices that are designed to help move you from the state of constant effort, to a place of greater ease. You will be guided to tune into your own internal wisdom, to get in touch what it is that you need, to feel cared for, nourished and balanced. Being in the role of helper can be rewarding and satisfying AND it can also be exhausting and depleting. Join me and the community that will gather for this intentional time of self-care and allow me to hold the space for you.
