Date:
Saturday July 6th, 2024 - 10am-5pm
This retreat is being held in a peaceful, nurturing forest setting in the outskirts of Calgary in Bragg Creek.
In this retreat you will be led through various exercises by Jen Reddish, Registered Master Therapeutic Counsellor to help you to connect to your body and emotions through somatic experiencing, internal family systems and gentle interventions through expressive arts therapy. Don’t worry, no artistic skills are needed, all you need is yourself and an open mind! Jen specializes in Maternal Mental Health in her private counselling practice and has a strong passion for supporting women to connect to their authentic sense of self through body & emotional awareness. This retreat was created to give women a space to return to again and again - to give yourself an opportunity for real, deeper level self care in a safe, supportive environment. Somatic experiencing is a body-centered approach to therapy. It is an incredible way to bring your mind and body into connection, increase your awareness of your body and emotions and bring you into connection with your sense of self.
Thinking & talking only gets us so far with increasing our self-awareness and moving towards our goals. This retreat will give you an opportunity to dive deeply into your experience of yourself and expand your awareness through various exercises that allow you to access what may usually be out of reach.
This retreat will have special guest contributor Melissa Cave from Sol Sound Healing to further support you in connecting to your body & sense of self. Melissa will lead the group through an embodied movement experience and she will share a sound bath with the group to end the day feeling grounded and connected to your body and self energy.
