Why Attend the Returning to Real Retreat?
Your Mental Health is Essential
The retreats focus on reclaiming the balance and joy that often gets lost in the busyness of life. It’s easy to put everyone else’s needs before your own, but your mental health is a priority, your happiness is essential, and your self-care is a necessity.
Through workshops, mindfulness practices, group discussions, and time in nature, we will guide you through ways to reconnect with yourself and heal. You will leave with a refreshed perspective, equipped with the knowledge and tools to support your ongoing well-being.
A Beautiful Rural Setting in Northern Ontario
Each retreat is held in a tranquil rural setting, away from the distractions of everyday life. Picture yourself in the heart of Northern Ontario—a place filled with lush landscapes, expansive
forests, and the gentle presence of horses. This serene environment provides the perfect backdrop for reflection, connection, and rejuvenation.
“The energy of the land, the animals, and the community will bring you back to yourself,” says Betty Hagey. “This is a space where you can breathe deeply and reconnect to the essence of who you are.”
Burnout Recovery and Beyond
In today’s world, burnout is all too common, especially for women balancing multiple roles. The Returning to Real Retreats are here to help you understand the causes and effects of burnout, and give you practical tools to recover and heal. These retreats are a safe space to focus on your mental health, gain clarity, and restore your energy.
As Carmen Jelly writes, “Burnout happens when we forget that we, too, need nurturing and care. We give and give, but without replenishing ourselves, we soon have nothing left to give.”
