Both/And Way Retreats offer a path to wellness like no other.
By utilizing Internal Family Systems (IFS), a powerful and transformative way to investigate moments of overwhelm and anxiety, we focus on exploring all of your Parts with kindness, curiosity and compassion. You will leave the retreat better equipped to handle any situation.
Our wellness retreats are located in stunning natural settings, and our programs provide the tools and resources you need to connect with yourself and your surroundings. From mindfulness and nature therapy to art and music, our retreats enrich your life and help you achieve greater well-being. We foster a nurturing atmosphere, where you can get in touch with your emotions and express yourself through laughter, tears, and art.
What you can expect...
We will integrate a nature-inspired framework that builds in hiking, mindfulness, and meditation that allows us to be present to both the complex beauty of what happens within us, and the complex beauty of the world around us.
Periods of silence allow us to begin cultivating a new relationship with ourself and allows thoughts and feelings to arise. We gather as a group to practice meditation, learn new ways of investigating parts of ourself, and share our process along the way.
Lots of FUN! We spend time in nature, listen to music, play, laugh, and cry. All of your meals are prepared and you don't have to think about what to eat, when to arise, or checking things off of your to-do list.
All retreats run from Thursday evening until about noon on Sunday. The retreat facilitator uses Thursday and part of Friday to connect with the participants and help them connect with each other and themselves. Then the rest of the retreat is specifically curated for each specific groups' needs..
What you'll gain...
Both/And Way Retreats create space and instruction for you to pause and reconnect with yourself.
