Healing for Healers: Awakening Your Inner Leader to Fully Embody Your Medicine
It’s time to allow yourself to receive…
This 3 hour retreat is an intimate afternoon to reset and remember the inner leader within you, so you can feel more confident, grounded, and attuned in the medicine that you offer to others.
Invitation
Through gentle IFS-infused forest therapy practices and quiet reflection, you’ll reconnect with the part of you that leads from within. The forest becomes your mirror, revealing the wisdom, balance, and inner medicine ready to awaken.
This gathering is for healers, space-holders, and leaders who spend much of their lives guiding others.
This offering invites you to connect with your deepest clarity, courage, and power as you slow down to receive. Here, you are invited to receive the medicine you so often give to others.
This is a space to truly just be, receive, and attune to your own medicine as you step into your self-leadership energy.
What to Expect
Arrival & Opening Circle
Gather around the warmth of our forest gazebo fire as we transition from daily life into presence. Through gentle grounding and intention-setting, you’ll attune to the inner leader within you that most wants to be seen and heard today.
Guided Forest Invitations
Slow, spacious practices awaken your senses and reconnect you with your body. Through an Internal Family Systems lens, you’ll invite your inner leader forward, the part of you that embodies clarity, confidence, compassion, and courage in your work and life.
Interconnection & Presence
You’ll be guided to use the forest as a mirror, receiving reflections that illuminate your inner landscape. The trees, wind, and land offer their medicine freely, reminding you of your own. Here, you practice moving beyond thought into direct experience — letting the forest guide you back to trust, balance, and inner authority. Find your own quiet place in the forest to rest, reflect, and receive. With gentle prompts, you’ll listen for the voice of your inner leader, noticing what wisdom or medicine is ready to surface and be integrated.
Integration & Closing Circle
Return to the fire to share, reflect, and invite integration as we close with collective intention. You’ll leave with renewed clarity, replenishment, and a deeper connection to your inner leader — ready to carry this embodied alignment into your work, relationships, and daily life.
A Deeper Journey
This is an initiation into self-leadership and remembrance. The forest becomes your teacher and mirror, inviting you to receive the medicine you offer others and to embody your own healing wisdom more fully.
