Mindful Wellness Experience for Health Care Workers
A healthcare workers retreat & CME event, co-hosted by Drs Jenna & Tamara
To properly take care of others, you have to take care of yourself first. On this six-day journey, you and a group of like-minded healthcare workers will be given the chance to do just that. You'll get to engage in rejuvenating daily yoga practice, group meditations, and mindfulness sessions. Besides the company of your peers, nature will also be your guide on our journey. Costa Rica is home to a great number of wildlife. During our stay, we might get the chance to meet and marvel at some of them while getting some well deserved rest & restoration, and diving deeper into evidence-based mindfulness & movement practices.
Please note: retreat is open to any healthcare professionals/HCWs (ie. physicians, nurses, counsellors, allied healthcare workers, etc) as well as spouses or family members of HCWs. This is an experiential and restorative experience for those who find themselves in a healthcare role where they are giving to others, and offers an opportunity to give back to oneself. Sessions will include practical teachings on topics including mindfulness, burnout recovery & prevention, resiliency, self care and work-life balance. Previous yoga or meditation experience is great but not required; beginners are also welcome and encouraged to join. We feel anyone with a curiosity to learn more about mindfulness will find much value in our time together!
Physicians can claim up to 16 hours of non-accredited CME hours for this program.
