RETREAT Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at erinbbcounseling@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Our team includes a coordinator, an Energy worker/Souldoula and one licensed clinical therapist who have advanced training in trauma. Learn more at the "About" section of this website and watch the videos posted above.


No, but engaging in therapy is always encouraged!  If you are, we are happy to collaborate with your therapist with your signed permission. 


Each participant will have a private roomwith a queen sized bed,  in a multi-level lodge with shared bathrooms.  This mountain location provides a space for personal reflection, gathering spaces and connection to nature. 


It's ok to be uncomfortable as long as you come from a non-judgmental place of curiosity. Otherwise, this may not be the retreat for you. 


We are committed to providing you healthy and nourishing food, coffee, tea and water.  We are planning one farm to table meal that we will cook and prepare together but the rest of the meals are catered.  Feel free to bring any personal snacks and/or drinks for your room. 


Please bring comfortable clothes that can be worn for yoga and groups.  Layering is important due to unpredictable fall weather.  Bring a sentimental item or momento to place on the alter for the duration of the retreat. Bring your medications, own pillow and bathroom toiletries. Bring a bathing suit- maybe you take a polar plunge! And most importantly, bring your authentic self, bring vulnerability and bring an open mindset. 


Unfortunately, not yet. We continue to advocate for insurance reform. 


Sometimes we have scholarship funds available.  Ask us!! 


We have space for 6 women.  When our maximum number of attendees have registered, we will create a waitlist.   


Yes, you are welcome to have personal devices. We just ask that it remains in your room during the retreat in an effort to minimize distractions for all.  Our intention is for you to use down time for meditation, journaling, connection to nature and self-care. 


We create a sacred, immersive space with the great intention of allowing you to unplug and focus solely on yourself for four days and three nights.  Having family present during the experience will disrupt the intention of the retreat for yourself and the other guests.


Alcohol and drugs can disrupt our natural ways of healing and are discouraged.  The lodge is no- smoking. 


The retreat is all inclusive.   Massage and reiki services are available, but at an additional cost.
