The Art of Cultivating
Self-Care and Well Being

A Retreat for Service Providers
Thursday, April 23rd - Sunday, April 26th

Who cares for the care provider?

The Rabbi Hillel wrote:
      "If I am not for me, who will be?
       If I am only for myself, what am I?
       If not now, when?"
We may know about secondary trauma, but it takes resolve to stop, look and listen, and then respond proactively to signs of compassion fatigue.

During this four day retreat we will: explore methods to intervene early and avert burnout; identify common, but hidden, beliefs and conflicts; grow our capacity for well being; and make our compelling work emotionally sustainable and gratifying over the long haul.

Please join us for a weekend of rejuvenation at Angela Center, a place of beauty, in Santa Rosa, California.
