September Oaks Retreat: Recovering from Burnout

Price includes lodging, programming, and meals. Extra experiences (like massage or 1:1 coaching) can be added on separately after you register.

Everything on the schedule is optional. We want you to get what you need out of this weekend.

Check-in is Friday between 2:00-4:00pm. The first session is 4:30pm on Friday. We wrap up on Sunday around 10:30am, but we are about an hour outside San Diego and recommend planning some buffer time for travel and lunch so you’re not rushed leaving. However, we also have an early-check in option is you’d like to add an extra day and come on Thursday. Then you would have 3 nights and 2 full days. You’ll see that add-on as an option when you register.

Burnout has become an all-too-common experience, and it can impact anyone, regardless of their profession or background. If you’ve ever felt the crushing weight of never-ending responsibilities, experienced mental and physical exhaustion, or noticed a waning enthusiasm for things that used to bring you joy, you’re not alone. The toll that burnout can take on your emotional, physical, and mental well-being is substantial, and it often goes unnoticed until it reaches a breaking point.

Our “Healing from Burnout” retreat recognizes the pressing need for a dedicated space where individuals can escape the daily grind and reclaim their inner strength and vitality. Burnout often thrives in the absence of time and margin. We provide a nurturing environment for participants to pause, reflect, and regain a sense of control over their lives. It’s an opportunity to step out of the perpetual cycle of doing and rekindle your passion, purpose, and joy.

This retreat is designed to be a sanctuary for self-restoration, an oasis of self-compassion and growth. We understand that the path to healing from burnout can be an intricate journey, and we’re here to guide you through it. Together, we’ll delve into the root causes of burnout, explore strategies for recovery, and foster lasting habits for self-care and resilience. If you’ve ever wondered how to overcome the ceaseless drain of burnout, join us on this transformative retreat. It’s your time to prioritize your well-being, regain your energy, and rediscover the vibrant, purposeful life that awaits beyond burnout’s shadow.
