SUMMARY:A Wellness Retreat for Parents: A Weekend of Self-Care\, Renewal\, and Skill-Building
DESCRIPTION:This retreat offers an opportunity for us as parents to pause\, reconnect with who we are\, and learn tools to support ourselves on our parenting journeys. The content of the retreat will help us to become less reactive and more connected with both ourselves and our children. \nTaking time out for a retreat for ourselves is not selfish. It is crucial to take breaks and spend time without our children\, however hard that might feel\, so that we can recharge and give back to our families with more authenticity\, kindness\, and patience. Treat yourself and your family by joining us on this retreat to help you change the way that you show up for yourself and as a parent. \nEveryone in the family deserves to get their needs met\, to feel supported\, and to feel connected and loved. Even children who behave badly should be treated with love\, kindness\, and patience\, but this can be hard to do if we were not treated in that way when we were children. Parents also deserve to feel competent and worthy. We too deserve to have our needs met and to take time out to recharge and reconnect with ourselves. This retreat will enable us to meet everyone in the family’s needs more effectively. \nWho is This Retreat For?\nThis retreat is for each and every parent\, but especially if you feel any of the following: \n\nShort tempered with your children.\nAngry and burnt out with your children.\nFrustrated that your children won’t listen without forcing or manipulating.\nAshamed for how you treat your children.\nInsecure and overwhelmed by parenting.\n\n\nYou need a break and some time for yourself.\nYou are repeating negative patterns from your own childhood.\nYou want to learn some new parenting skills that will help create more connected relationships with your children.\n\nThroughout this retreat\, we will practice yoga – including movement\, meditation and breathwork.
