Immerse your senses and your spirit. Join us for four days of deep restoration, intuitive tool skill-building, and conscious connection with fellow healers in a lush legacy forest in the Puget Sound. This transformative retreat is designed specifically for nurses and other nurturers who yearn to return to their inner wilder self and the healing power of the natural world.

Through our intentional and holistic offerings and experiential sessions, you will gain intuitive and practical tools to:

  • Reconnect with your creative self, your inner knowing, and your INSPIRATION

  • Discover your vitality in a natural setting with forest- sea-sky immersion + yoga

  • Release survival, overwhelm, and competitive energy to maintain neutrality, clarity and joy in your everyday life; differentiate your energy from that of your patients, clients and family

  • Enliven your art of self-nurturing and self-coaching with creative journaling and on-the-go grounding meditations

  • Support and coach your patients and clients with neuroscience and nature based stress management approaches

this retreat is unique

While other programs intellectually address stress management, nurse resilience and even spirituality, the wildernurse grounding retreat is a full body and soul experience. You will emerge equipped with a practical, portable toolkit to transform how you move through your personal, professional and spiritual life. This is a powerful, wildcrafted opportunity to embody the richness of the forest and your personal growth. You will bring home a daily self-coaching practice, deeper body–mind awareness and clarity for the next steps on your life’s path.
