SUMMARY:One Mission Caring for the Caregiver Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Emery Farm – Durham\, NH\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA unique weekend of self-care for parents. Create space for yourself and find community amongst people who have been in your shoes. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSponsored by:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn collaboration with:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAt this retreat\, we will bring together parents of children with cancer and other chronic illnesses to recharge their spirits and dive into a few deep healing techniques. Psychosocial support\, that given to help meet the mental\, emotional\, social\, and spiritual needs of patients and their families is shown to be one of the most effective strategies for processing the trauma of raising a child with cancer or other similarly treated illness. Coming together\, we will foster a community of parents who are medical caregivers for their child and individually work through emotions in ways other than traditional talk therapy. \n\n\n\nYou may attend as a single parent or couple. Single people may need to share a room with another person of the same gender if not attending with their spouse. The lodging and grounds at Emery Farm is exquisite\, although you may also choose to attend this event just for the day. We also will offer overflow rooms at the equally beautiful Shilo Farm that weekend.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe are thrilled to welcome back Justin Wilfordfrom MaxLove Project and the Yes Collective!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn Saturday\, dads will meet with Justin to participate in a day of therapeutic healing techniques including Internal Family Systems and Psychedelic breathwork. Moms will get their chance on Sunday to work with Justin. You can read more about these well-researched\, innovative modalities below.  On the opposite days\, parents will have the opportunity to get a massage\, take a hike at the beautiful Wagon Hill trails across the street\, and participate in a yoga class. \n\n\n\nA group dinner will be offered on Saturday night\, and light breakfast and lunch is provided on the day you work with Justin. You can also purchase food at Emery Farm’s farmstand\, each participant will receive a gift card. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBereaved Parents – Apply Here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nParents of Survivors – Apply Here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout our Facilitator\n\n\n\nWe are so excited to have Justin Wilford join us again for this retreat. Justin is the father of Max\, a 15-year survivor of Glioblastoma\, and Maesie. He holds doctorates in public health (UC Irvine) and cultural geography (UCLA). He co-founded the childhood cancer nonprofit MaxLove Project with his wife Audra. He is also a cofounder of an emotional health platform called Yes Collective that focuses on Internal Family Systems-based therapeutic programming. He is a health program designer\, Internal Family Systems practitioner\, psychedelic medicine guide\, and conscious dance DJ.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInternal Family Systems is an evidence-based\, paradigm-shifting psychotherapeutic approach that today is practiced by thousands of therapists\, psychologists\, and psychiatrists around the world. IFS sees our minds as a system of various parts\, or sub-personalities\, each with its own unique perspective\, emotions\, and role to play in our lives. The goal of IFS is to foster harmony and healing within this internal system by establishing a compassionate and curious relationship with each part. By understanding and engaging with our internal parts\, we can improve our mental\, emotional\, and spiritual health in profound ways. \n\n\n\nPsychedelic breathwork (which does not use psychedelic substances) is a unique practice based in holotropic-style breathing. It opens up the body\, heart\, and mind to help us witness what we’ve been holding on to\, compassionately release what is not ours to hold\, and open us to our deeper wisdom and clarity inside. Justin will help you do this by first guiding you through meditation practices inspired by an Internal Family Systems framework. He’ll then lead you into the psychedelic breathwork\, followed by an integrative journaling and processing session to close the experience. Psychedelic breathwork sessions are safe but powerful experiences for individuals who are ready for breakthroughs of greater clarity\, self-compassion\, and self-expression.

SUMMARY:Yoga For Grief
DESCRIPTION:Yoga East\, Kittery\, ME and on Zoom\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYoga is the body and heart-centered work we need to do to move grief and trauma through our psyche\, leaving behind just pure love and gratitude for the person you lost.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin Deana Cavan\, RYT from Rett’s Roost and Michelle Verdi\, RYT from Yoga East for an in-person donation-based class for the grieving body. We welcome all levels\, including beginners to yoga\, and all grievers\, not just bereaved parents.  \n\n\n\nIn the first part of the class we will incorporate readings\, an offering to our loved ones\, meditative exercises\, and gentle body movement. In the second half of the class Michelle will offer reiki during a led Yoga Nidra meditation led by Deana. \n\n\n\nThis practice is meant to be restorative and spriritual\, allowing you to reclaim your breath and appreciate the love for your beloved that still resides inside you. Yoga brings clarity to the often inaccurate and self-deprecating thoughts that surround our loss. And it opens our hearts up for love and gratitude to fill in the broken places. Reiki helps to clear the energetic blocks that hold us back from true healing. \n\n\n\nIf you lost a child\, this class is free. If you’ve had another type of loss\, please make a donation of at least $22 on our website. We will also accept cash\, check\, and venmo at the yoga studio.  \n\n\n\nThis class will take place on November 19th from 6-7:30pm EDT at Yoga East in Kittery\, ME and online. Space is limited in-person so please sign up online. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister
