Imagine feeling fully connected to the work you share with others.
Picture yourself moving through your day without asking, “Why am I doing this?”
Envision rediscovering inspiration and joy, both as a clinician and as a human.
This picture is why we created the Balanced & Becoming Retreat.
Come back to yourself, your “why” in the work you do as a behavior analyst and connect with community members who long to be a more balanced BCBA!
You’ll take part in a weekend retreat that will foster connection, community and slowing down to ultimately support a sense of balance as BCBA’s and to become the practitioner you’ve dreamed of becoming. This weekend is for you if:
You have a desire to fill YOUR cup and to experience self-care strategies you can take with you throughout the year.
You long to connect with like minded colleagues who value work/life balance.
You want to reawaken the spark that brought you to the field of behavior analysis and reconnect back to your purpose in why you continue to show up each and every day!
This retreat is focused on YOU and the community of BCBA’s who long to reflect on their practice in a supportive, accepting, fulfilling way. Inspiring us to remember who WE are in the client/clinician relationship and that if we don’t connect and care for ourselves, are we really providing client focused care? Spend the weekend connecting to practices, routines and rituals that will fulfill you as a clinician in ways never experienced before in this field.
