About the Retreat
SOLD OUT!!
If you work in healthcare, you work your tail off. You are invited to join your peers to rejuvenate, fortify, and heal. This is a time for YOU to feel cared for. Facilitated by former ER providers (RN and mental health/art therapist), and through supportive and restorative activities such as mindfulness, art, yoga, and experiential learning, our goal is for you to feel nurtured, connected, AND leave with new tools for your own well being and a rekindled sense of purpose.
*This activity is pending approval from the National Association of Social Workers and by the California Board of Registered Nursing for 24 contact hours.
