Sol Renewal

A Nature Immersion ​for Therapeutic Professionals

Picture
A Sol Renewal is an opportunity to restore, reset and recharge a healthy life balance. Helping professionals can feel disconnected from their authentic selves and are inclined to put clients’ interests before everything else, neglecting our own needs by overlooking self-care. Many refrain from help-seeking support because of the fear of feeling incompetent and ashamed. The self-sacrifice mindset ultimately leads to depression and compassion fatigue. By prioritizing self-care, we become more effective working with clients. 

Are you feeling overwhelmed?
Are you motivated to do your own personal growth work?
Are you ready to trust highly experienced transformational coaches to hold space for your journey?


A Sol Renewal shifts the focus to our life. By slowing  down to nature's rhythm, embracing stillness and reflection, valuable insight becomes more readily available. It is this wisdom that supports our passions, life's purpose and healthy life balance.  

You are important. You matter. Take time to invest in your health and wellness.

​
A transformational wilderness experience for you.
The Helpers and healers are inclined to put clients’ interests before everything else. The problem can often put our own needs last and overlook self-care. Much like with clients, you can avoid help-seeking support because of the fear of feeling incompetent and ashamed. It becomes, ‘I’m the guide/therapist, so I should be able to handle all of this.’ That type of self-sacrifice mindset can ultimately lead to depression and burnout.
Clients are going to trigger you, they’re going to hit your nerves from your past or present wounds. You have to work through those blockages within in order to be the best support you can for others.
OR 

Wilderness guides, therapist, mentors and coaches all benefit from attending to your well-being and self-care, just as much as you do for their clients, in order to avoid burnout and depression.  It’s important to take the same approach to self-care and well-being as you do with your clients, and not let your own needs be overlooked. Avoiding help-seeking out of fear of feeling inadequate can be detrimental to your mental health and can lead to burnout.  Be mindful of your own mental health and take steps to address any unresolved issues. By addressing triggers and wounds, you can better cope with any difficult emotions that may arise from client sessions and provide better support overall. Self-care is essential to avoid burnout and depression.  By prioritizing your own self-care you become more effect with working with your clients. Take the time and invest in you on a Sol Renewal retreat offering opportunities to gain valuable insight into your own life, as well as the chance to reset and recharge.  On your customized wilderness retreat, you will slow way down, embrace stillness and take time for self-reflection.

Practices and activities including yoga, meditation, journaling, nature walks, wilderness canoeing, adventure sailing, day hiking and base camping all enhancing the natural transformational process and opening up the possibility to let go of any unresolved blockages and emotions while offering the opportunity to rediscover passion and purpose.

​This wilderness experience is designed for individuals with limited time and are highly motivated to do “their own personal growth work” We will hold space for you to do your deep transformational work.
 
“I think in the history of our profession, there’s sometimes been a negative association with the idea of being a wounded healer, that by going to our own therapy, we are perceived to be too damaged to help,”. “That label gets in the way instead of being able to see a helper and healer going to a supportive guide and doing their own continual work as a strength.” Member of the American Counseling Association,
 
Sol Renewals are affordable customized transformational retreats & treks from 4 to 30 days for anyone with a desire to do their own work.
