Take time to focus on you

Resilient by Nature

A Weekend Retreat for Brain Vitality

​October 16th -18th, 2026

Space is limited.

We invite you, the social workers whose work changes lives in quiet, powerful ways: advocating, supporting, and standing in the gap for those who need it most, to step out of your office space and into open space.

​

Slow down, take a breath, and reconnect to your career, yourself, and your passions.​

Caring for the Caregiver

As social workers, you’re constantly holding space for others. Now, it’s time to hold some for yourself!

 

This retreat is designed to:

  • Bypass burnout by stepping away from emotional fatigue, career overwhelm, and empathy overload

  • Regain a sense of clarity, intention, and balance

  • Reconnect with personal and professional motivations, values, and goals

  • Focus on healthy lifestyle habits, including exercise, stress management, and sleep

  • Meet other mental health professionals, come together in community, and find meaningful support


You’ll leave with a new appreciation of your work (and yourself!), armed with a clear personal action plan for fostering brain health, a sense of renewal, and the resilience to keep showing up in and out of the office.
