Retreat 2010 Descriptions

Our retreat season is in full swing in our new B&B! This season, we have added some specialty programs to our existing core retreat Healing the Aftermath of Pathological Love Relationships.

A few times during the retreat season we will be adding specialty items. We will have Healing the Aftermath + an Expressive Arts component that will go along with our retreat. This will include an Expressive Arts Teacher who will work with the group on utilizing art, journaling, music, etc. for expanding the healing approach and will have onsite art projects associated with healing themes.

Our goal this year is to couple our core Healing the Aftermath with other intervention packages to give our clients the best approach to healing! Regular retreats will be offered through out the season as well. (** Specialty programs will incorporate additional fees for those services.)

Come see why Brevard is being voted one of the best towns in America!

Boundaries for Pathological Relationship Prevention – back to top

At the heart of what contributed to ending up in a pathological love relationship is the absence of healthy and consistent boundaries. From our research, every person in pathological relationships ended up there because of a lapse in boundaries or the absence of them to begin with. The first foundation of recovering is establishing boundaries.

Never be targeted again based on your lack of boundaries! A MUST WORKSHOP for every woman healing from pathological relationships. If you don’t have this, you won’t have healthy relationships. Enjoy the group process, journaling, role playing, and DVD training series as well! Taught by various Institute Faculty members.



How to Spot a Dangerous Partner – back to top

Dangerousness is not just violence — it’s getting involved with someone who has a permanent personality disorder with the inability to sustain change or develop insight.

Taught by our own Rachele M., a Life Coach & Trainer, you will come away with a clear understanding of pathology, dangerous partners, how to spot and how to leave! Sandra will lead the groups on Formation of Pathology in others.
