REDEFINING RESILIENCE: Cultivating Courage & Embracing Joy While Growing a Thriving Practice
Boutique VR CLUB Tulum Riviera Beach Resort, Tulum, Q.R., Mexico
December 01-06, 2024
Retreat Season brings you a transformative 5 night retreat designed specifically for Therapists seeking to develop their resilience and well-being while expanding their practices. Join fellow participants at a boutique all-Inclusive VR Club Tulum Riviera Beach Resort in the region of Quintana Roo, Mexico to experience the serene white sand beaches, Caribbean blue waters and all that Tulum has to offer. Participants will embark on a journey of self-discovery and renewal, focusing on redefining resilience as more than just endurance in the face of challenges, but also as a deliberate practice of cultivating courage, embracing joy, while tapping into your entrepreneurial side and growing your practice.
Through a combination of workshops, group discussions, networking opportunities and adventurous excursions, Therapists will explore various aspects of resilience and how participants can intentionally integrate courage, joy, and self-care into their professional and personal lives. Participants will learn practical strategies for managing stress, preventing burnout, reducing transference, and nurturing their own well-being, ultimately enhancing their ability to support others effectively and explore strategies for a long term sustainable practice.
Led by experienced facilitators in a supportive and nurturing environment, this retreat offers Therapists a valuable opportunity to reconnect with their inner strength and rediscover their passion for their work.
