Healing for Healers: Transform Your Fear to Rise into Your Medicine
An Invitation to Receive, Restore & Rise into Your Medicine
Are you ready to soften into receiving, reconnect with your inner wisdom, and grow your confidence in the medicine you bring to your work, while tending the parts of you that still carry fear, self-doubt, or imposter energy?
This intimate 5-hour, nature-based retreat is designed for practitioners, healers, guides, and space-holders who want to deepen their inner alignment and step into their full embodied presence. Within a nurturing forest setting, you’ll explore the energetic and somatic difference between the energy you carry with the medicine you offer and the energy of the fearful parts of yourself, learning to move forward with clarity, compassion, and leadership from Self-energy.
Throughout the afternoon, we will bring together Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing (SE), Forest Therapy, Energy Attunement, and Art Therapy Integration into a slow, nourishing experience that invites deep insight and transformation.
What You’ll Experience:
IFS-Informed Parts Work
Meet, express, and differentiate two between:
Your Medicine Energy: the expression of your Self-energy, the calm, wise, and compassionate core that embodies clarity, confidence, intuitive knowing, and the unique gifts you bring into your work.
Your Fearful Part: the part of you that holds concerns, doubt, contraction, or imposter energy, a part that shows up to keep you safe but can also limit your confidence and flow.
Through art, journaling, and guided reflection, you’ll learn to recognize, dialogue with, and integrate these parts with compassion and Self-leadership.
Energy Attunement & Meditation
Gentle meditation and energetic grounding to settle into your body and energy field.
Experience practices that open awareness to your own energy, expand receptivity, and cultivate clarity, presence, and alignment with your inner wisdom.
Release stuck energy and subtle blocks, creating space for your medicine to flow more freely.
Somatic Practices to Support the Nervous System
Ground into your body, release tension, and restore balance.
SE-based movement sequences and prompts allow you to track sensations, orient to resources, and cultivate a receptive, embodied state.
Forest Therapy & Nature-Based Practices
Engage with nature as a co-facilitator of insight and healing.
Through mindful wandering and sensory awareness, the forest mirrors your internal landscape, offering guidance, support, and clarity.
Practices help amplify intuition, deepen self-awareness, and attune to your inner medicine.
Individualized 1:1 Support

You’ll Leave Feeling:
Rooted in your medicine: clear, grounded, and deeply connected to the gifts you’re here to offer.
In powerful relationship with the fearful parts of yourself: able to meet them with compassion, boundaries, and self-leadership instead of being led by them.
More embodied, settled, and regulated: with a nervous system that feels spacious, resourced, and receptive.
Attuned to your intuitive wisdom: expanded capacity to trust your inner messages and follow your guidance with clarity and confidence.
Held, witnessed, and resourced by community, nature, and Self-energy: reminded that you don’t walk this path alone.
Aligned with your next step: ready to bring your medicine forward with courage, integrity, and a renewed sense of purpose.
