FROM A REVIVE RETREAT CLIENT
“My hope for the retreat was to get a new, more helpful perspective on life and my circumstances, sort of a reset. I’ve recently retired from being a professional athlete. Although I’ve been preparing for quite a while, there are still rather significant changes I am managing. Additionally, I’m originally from Ukraine and in my last professional season a war broke out in my country, with my family still living there.
What was absolutely phenomenal was that the therapists on site are trauma informed and were able to let me process some of this stuff with compassion and understanding. More importantly most of the time I didn’t have to use words. With different modalities like watercolor, drum circle, float tank, meditation, mindful walks I was able to ‘take out’ what was inside without having to make sense of it with words. I’m also exhausted from having to retell these stories, they seem to solidify each time I repeat them, so having another outlet with informed therapists was just irreplaceable.
Although I understand that a 3 day retreat is not quite enough to get all my affairs in order, it was a helpful nudge in areas of fitness, nutrition, mindfulness, nature, therapy, coaching among others.
I hope to continue to incorporate modalities I’ve experienced on more consistent basis and do these types of resets more consistently or/and perhaps for longer periods of time.
Thank you APN for a much needed time for myself.”
