Testimonial from the Stress Is Gone Woman’s Retreat:
I had no idea what to expect of the Stress Is Gone Woman’s Retreat but the idea of reducing emotional pain was calling to me. I specifically hoped to dig down on past traumas that still had “strings attached.”
The retreat exceeded my expectations! It hit emotional pain head on. And it worked.
What sets it apart?
First, Brett is incredibly talented. His combination of kindness, spirituality, intuition, and knowledge is rare and precious. He is clearly passionate about helping others. And very good at it.
As core group sessions delved into each woman’s specific challenges, Brett handled each situation with insight and compassion.
Additionally, he shared ways of thinking and words of healing that are applicable to multiple situations, providing takeaways for everyone.
Secondly, Brett included talented guest presenters and healers in the program, including his wife Stefanie, who guided us through Qigong and dance.
They offered retreat goers a variety of ways, and disciplines through which, to approach, analyze, and diminish emotional trauma.
Thirdly, as you can imagine, the sessions were emotionally probing…. Yet, they were tempered with light humor, camaraderie, and connections.
Meditation and dance. A sound bath and nature walks around the grounds of the center.
The skills we learned are easily incorporated into daily life. Most are practical and simple, yet effective, ways to work through pain and fend off anxiety in its immediacy.
Lastly, the Stress Is Gone retreats offers wonderful follow up. Attendees receive a workbook written by Brett, along with membership to his Stress Is Gone live meditations and Stephanie’s movement sessions (9-9:30 a.m. weekdays).
Additionally, there are ongoing, optional private and group connections via Zoom meetings and Instagram. Brett tells us some groups are even inspired to continue to meet via outings such as hikes.
To me, the retreat was a wonderful, transformative experience. It changed my life for the better by teaching me to understand and negate my fears and anxiety.
