Healing Leaders Retreat

Who?

Healthcare leaders.

When?

May 13-19, 2024

Where?

The Secret Villas in Playa del Secreto in the Mexican Riviera

What?

A retreat to help you re-connect with yourself, with your purpose, with nature, and with fun

Why?

Leaders are trying to fill a gap, to re-write the narratives, to transform the way the world moves.

The energy it takes... the thinking... the problem solving... sometimes even the FAILURE costs us energy, health, and creativity.

This is especially true for leaders in healthcare. We care so much, give so much... we often carry our lack of self care and burn out prevention with us into our new roles.

Isn't that funny? We became leaders to change systems that hurt people... but we perpetuate that same system by not prioritizing the health of our mind, bodies, and spirits.

Burn-Out prevention and self care isn't a 1 size fits all. You have to know who you are, what drives you, and what's important to you to build a model that fits YOUR needs.

The Healing Leaders Retreat Will...

Re-Connect

Re-connect. Humans thrive on human connection. And in order to connect to others, we have to connect to ourselves. We want our leaders to reconnect to themselves, to others, and to the beauty of nature.

Relax

Relax. Stress signals our body to respond with the fight, flight, freeze response cascade. We want our leaders to get enough time away that they can remember what it's like to be outside of the everyday pressures of work and family.

Rejuvenate

Rejuvenate. Leaders need to take sometimes. They need to be taken care of. They need to rebuild the reserves that they draw on a regular basis. We aim to help leaders tap into and rebuild their reserves.

Reimagine

Reimagine. We want you through connection to self, others, and the beauty of nature be able to reimagine the connection to your meaning, purpose and mission. We want you to leave ready to dive back into leadership with a renewed connection to your mission.

FAQ

Where is the retreat located?

Playa del Secreto is in Puerto Morelos, Mexico. It is just south of Playa del Paraiso in Tulum. It is one of the most beautiful beaches in the Mexican Riviera.

What about food safety?

We know that people not from Mexico need to take EXTRA precautions when eating food in Mexico. This is why we have chosen an all inclusive option. Our chef owns the villas and keeps food safety as a top priority. The number 1 thing to keep in mind is water.

YOU CAN NOT DRINK TAP WATER IN MEXICO. Not even people who live in Mexico drink tap water. It is safe to brush your teeth with, but NOT TO INGEST. There is purified water available on site at all times for all else.

Note: Kristin is nervous and uses bottled water to brush her teeth in Mexico. Her husband thinks its funny.

What is or isn't included in the price?

The stay, meals, and 2 excursions for 1 person are included in the price. Suites include CE's for 1 person. If you are adding on someone who does not need CE's- the cost is $500.00. If the person being added DOES need CE's- it is both the $500 add on and the $350 CE fee.

What is NOT included: Your flight, insurance, spending money.

What about general safety?

Quintana Roo is extremely safe. It has the same safety rating from the US as Spain and France.

Don't do drugs... but especially in Mexico. It is not safe, and this is the primary reason people have problems in Mexico.

Can I bring my children?

You can bring mature adolescent children. We don't have lifeguards or the necessary safety measures for young children. We will also require anyone traveling with minors to sign an additional waiver.

Is this only for therapists?

Absolutely not. Any healthcare leader will benefit from this retreat- and really anyone will get something out of it. So, if your spouse, partner, friend, wants to join in the sessions- they are totally welcome!

How will I get my CE's?

You will get your CE's 2 weeks after the retreat. You will fill out our feedback forms, and we will issue the CE's once we return.

What should I pack?

This is the Carribean, and it is HOT and HUMID. If you think Florida is hot and humid- this is a level up from that. I personally wear swimsuits and shorts/flowy pants, skirts or active wear.

Reef Safe SUNSCREEN. The 2nd largest reef in the world (2nd to the Great Barrier Reef) is located off the coast of where we are at, so please, take precautions to protect the reef.

SWIMSUITS.

Comfort Items.

Pesos. I recommend using pesos in Mexico. Research exchange rates prior to going. Stores that do take dollars can give you whatever exchange rate and fees they want- so pesos are always better.

An open and fun attitude. Anxiety is welcome. Negativity can stay at home.
