General
What should I expect at a retreat?
Each retreat is similar in structure, although they have different themes so attendees can choose what most interests them. All retreats are intended to create a restful day for attendees with the opportunity to practice self-care. Activities vary, but may include crafts, journaling, Circle facilitation, aromatherapy, meditation, free time, yoga, outdoor activities, candle making, and more.
Breakfast and lunch are provided, and dietary restrictions are honored. You are encouraged to wear whatever you find most comfortable. Most retreats have 8-15 people in attendance.
Who can attend Healing for the Healer retreats?
Healing for the Healer retreats are for people who work in nonprofits in Middle Tennessee. Although we appreciate other helpers in our community, these retreats are not offered to therapists with private practices, teachers, police officers, university employees, EMTs, nurses, hospital employees, etc.
We prioritize the attendance of our grant partners, but attendance is not limited to staff members of our grantee organizations.
How often can I attend a Healing for the Healer retreat?
Attendance is limited to one retreat per calendar year.
Can licensed social workers receive CEUs for attending Healing for the Healer?
Licensed social workers can receive 3.0 CEUs for attending any of our in-person retreats. You will be prompted to make note of your request for CEUs when signing in the day of the retreat.
Can I request a retreat for my staff?
We do not offer retreats by request.
Registration
How much does it cost to attend?
Retreats are free to attendees, although it does cost The Trust about $200 per participant.
We happily offer these retreats, and kindly request you let us know if you need to cancel your registration so we can invite someone from our waitlist to attend.
Can I register my entire staff for a retreat?
Healing for the Healer encourages connection with other people who know the demands of working within a nonprofit organization across service areas. Because of this, we only allow 2-3 people per organization per retreat date. Registrations will be canceled if you register more than 3 people per retreat date.
When can I register for a retreat in the next calendar year?
Typically, we announce retreat dates twice a year (summer and fall). We typically do not offer retreats during the summer months.
