Will Benefit

Workshops and Playtimes Within the Retreat Program

We’ll work with habit loops, patterns, trauma, emotional regulation, behavioral changes, and the formation of new ways of being. You’ll also be given a Workbook and a binder (and a really great swag bag of goodies!)

Somatic Reconnection, and Intentional Creations

The construction–and reconstruction– of your life story from past, to present, to future is pivotal in creating a new level of self-understanding. While we cannot change the past, we can, indeed, change our subconscious and somatic responses to those matters which no longer serve us and begin intentionally living a purpose-filled and purpose-driven life.

Restorative Yoga and Meditation

Our Retreats include daily practices to help improve your ability to navigate your day-to-day life outside of the Retreat. New to yoga and meditation? No problem! Dr. Garrison breaks the practices down into super easy-to-follow components.

Nourishment

Gourmet plant-based meals, snacks, and beverages throughout the Retreat. As a participant in The Empowered Transitions Retreat, you’ll also have unlimited access to the Wellness Bar for incredible local coffee and signature smoothies.

Rituals, Experiences, Activities, Connections

We’ll incorporate some amazing experiences including an extended Sound Healing session, a Costa Rican cooking class, and other ceremonies. We’ll also have a very special bonfire closing ceremony that includes a multi-course dinner with mocktails on the beach.

Post-retreat Support and Community

We’ll have a Group follow-up Zoom meeting after our Retreat to further integrate the learnings and reconnect with one another. All Retreats also include the option for ongoing telehealth group coaching at a discounted rate.
