Caregiver’s Day Retreat

Topics that will be explored are intrinsic to the caregiver journey, especially compassion, burnout, family dynamics, the necessity of self-care, and the often-conflicting emotions that accompany the caregiver journey. Throughout the program, participants will be invited to engage in storytelling, prayer or mediation, writing, and other exercises that validate the caregiver’s experience and provide therapeutic tools for the ongoing commitment of caregiving.

The morning session will envelop the themes of caregiver grief, healing, and hope within each participant’s current circumstances, while the afternoon session will concentrate on caregiver endurance and renewal. Resources will be offered in both sessions related to what is examined. A journal is a great companion for this program. Lunch is included. Guided by Gordon Creamer.
