Reclaiming Joy: Healing Through Inner Child Reconnection.
Reconnect with your inner child, release old wounds, and rediscover joy through play, reflection, and transformative healing.
​
Through guided workshops, role play, and heart-centered group conversations, you will be invited to meet and nurture the child within. This is a sacred space where grieving, releasing, and reconnecting are honored. You will feel the embrace of comfort, understanding, and the safety to fully explore and heal the parts of you that have longed to be seen.
What to Expect
This immersive retreat offers a transformative space for deep healing and personal growth. Through guided experiences, you’ll release grief and anger, embrace quiet reflection, and share moments of vulnerability and connection. By the end, you’ll create space for laughter, rewrite your story, and continue healing with the support of a newfound family long after the retreat ends.
Here, playfulness and healing intertwine — grief and joy coexist — and your inner child is free to flourish as you step into your most authentic self.
Nestled along the stunning Pacific Northwest coast, our retreat offers more than just a getaway—it’s a welcoming haven of connection and reflection. From sharing teas and family-style meals where everyone pitches in and bonds over heartfelt conversation, to the encouragement of quiet introspection, every aspect is designed to nurture your journey. Here, you’ll find a supportive space to share stories, forge new connections, and navigate the path of self-discovery, healing, and renewal.
5 Days to Transform Your World
True transformation is closer than you think—if you’re ready to commit to the journey. But growth doesn’t happen in isolation; it thrives in spaces designed to nourish and support you along the way.
This retreat will take place at a private location with beach access, offering comfort and quiet for your healing work. We’re currently exploring venues in Puget Sound, WA and Seaside, OR—let us know your preference when you inquire. If interest allows, we may offer both.
The schedule balances deep work with rest, nourishment, and connection. You’ll enjoy three meals a day, teas, snacks, and evening treats to keep you grounded and energized. Please share any dietary needs when you apply so we can accommodate you with care.
How Not to Be a Giver in a World of Takers
From the Buddha
The Buddha might say:
"Give not to gain, nor to seek return, but because it aligns with the truth of your being. When you feel depleted, return to yourself. Tend to the garden of your soul before you pour its blossoms into the world. There is no shame in resting the hand that gives. Let go of expectation, and you will find peace even amidst a world of takers."
The Buddha teaches that pain comes from clinging—to people, outcomes, or even the idea of being "the giver." Release the idea that you must always give, and instead, allow yourself to simply be. Balance arises not through denial but through mindful attention to your own needs.
From a Samurai
A samurai might say:
"To give endlessly is to draw your blade without sharpening it. A warrior knows that strength comes from discipline, and discipline means knowing when to hold back. You are not weak for saying no; you are preserving the honor of your spirit for battles worthy of your soul. Protect your energy as you would protect your blade."
The samurai's path is one of boundaries and discernment. They understand that endless giving, without replenishing oneself, dulls the spirit and the body. A warrior honors their essence by choosing wisely where and how to act.
Together They Whisper
There is wisdom in balance—between compassion and discipline, between letting go and standing firm. Your pain is valid, but so is your need to heal. Both the Buddha and the samurai would remind you: "You cannot pour from an empty cup. To care for others, you must first care for yourself."
