From Fight and Flight to 'Rest, Digest and Feather Your Nest’

Body Centred Retreat for Healthcare professionals  

September and November 2023

Friday to Sunday

Continental House, Hepburn Springs

Deep Healing Retreat

The events of the past 2 year have created a trauma response in many front-line and support workers. 

This means chronic stress, exhaustion and burn-out.

The thing with trauma is, it lives in our bodies, not just our minds, and we can't just talk ourselves out of it when the danger passes. 

It spills over into our daily lives, and can have us numbing down, or freaking out at little things.

Katie de Araujo is a body-centered therapist with expertise in gaining the trust of your body and watching the mind follow.

In this weekend retreat:

~ you will learn ways to structure a safe feeling into your days

~ you'll be able to turn off the vigilance, and

~ spend many more hours a day in the playful, open way we wish for

~ set healthy boundaries around work / home divide

~ process any grief, resentment and long standing issues with the work environment

Your energies will be freed up for creative self-care, not needless self-defence.

The upward spiral starts happening for you.

Come and join convivial meals

and time in nature,

shared with friends.

Return to a home you love

being in,

and a body that loves you back.
