Embrace Self-Care and Inner Peace at Our Retreat


In our fast-paced lives, we often overlook the importance of self-care and may feel guilty about taking time for ourselves. We’re here to remind you that relaxation and self-compassion are not only necessary but also deserving of our full attention.

We invite you to join us at GilChrist Retreat Center, where we will create a nurturing space for your journey toward healing and inner peace. This retreat is an opportunity to reconnect with yourself and explore the needs of your body, mind, and soul.

What to Expect:

 

  • Mindful Exploration: Walk the labyrinth to clear your mind and find stillness. Sit by the pond to enjoy nature, converse with friends, or simply watch the birds and practice gratitude.
  • Wellness Practices: Participate in yoga and meditation sessions tailored to refresh your spirit and help you find mental clarity.
  • Personal Reflection: Spend time in the library or find solitude on a hill to reflect and answer the question: What do you need right now for yourself?
  • Holistic Healing: Engage in energy and holistic healing techniques to identify and address stuck points and unhealed traumas. These practices aim to enhance how you show up for yourself and others, fostering peace, safety, and self-love.

Join us for a transformative experience where you will gain empowering tools to break free from exhaustion and cultivate lasting peace. This is your moment to invest in yourself, to heal, and to grow.


We look forward to holding space for you and supporting your journey.

 

About the Facilitator: Jazmin Guy-Wallace

 

Discover Your True Self and Find Clarity

 

Have you ever taken a moment to truly ask yourself, “Who am I outside of my roles and responsibilities?” Understanding your inner voice, identifying your needs, and reflecting on the thoughts that keep you up at night are crucial steps in building self-trust and clarity.

I’m here to guide and support you through this journey. With my experience in helping individuals navigate life changes and balance new roles or identities, I offer a compassionate, honest, and direct approach to uncovering and addressing the root of your issues, traumas, or grief.

About Me:

  • Passionate About People: My purpose is to help. I am genuinely curious about what makes people who they are and dedicated to supporting you in finding your true self.
  • Warm and Approachable: My kind-hearted, open-minded, and dependable nature helps create a comfortable space where you can share your truth. My warm and bubbly personality makes it easier for you to express yourself freely.
  • Realistic Expectations: Life is challenging, and we often place unrealistic expectations on ourselves. Together, we will work towards setting achievable goals and creating realistic expectations for yourself and others.

What I Offer:

  • Licensed Professional Counselor: I truly enjoy and love helping people discover the power they have and encouraging them on their healing journey.
  • A Safe Space: I am committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for you to process and heal.
  • Healing practices, Guidance and Encouragement: My role is to highlight insights and help you come to clear solutions, enabling you to see yourself more clearly and grow.

Addressing your mental health requires courage and a willingness to evolve. If you’re ready to explore your inner self and make meaningful changes, I am here to support you every step of the way.

Let’s work together to help you understand who you are and move forward with clarity and confidence.
