Find Yourself Where Ethics Meets Escape: A Continuing Education Retreat for Therapists on a Private Island in Panama

Because taking care of yourself isn’t optional—it’s ethical.

This isn’t just time off. It’s time to reconnect with your professional purpose, restore your nervous system, and reflect on the ethical foundation of your work.

Find Yourself In…

Earn Meaningful CEs That Address the Ethics of Self-Care, Boundaries, and Burnout Prevention

Most CE trainings on ethics are dry, checkbox exercises. Not this one. Our workshops are immersive, experiential, and rooted in real-life clinical dilemmas—exploring the ethical implications of overextending ourselves, ignoring our limits, or working beyond capacity. You’ll leave with insights you can actually use in supervision, practice, and your own self-reflection.

“Attending this retreat isn’t a break from your ethics—it’s a deep dive into them.”


Rest Without Guilt on a Private Island Designed for Reflection, Play, and Nourishment

The setting matters. And this island is intentionally selected for its stillness, natural beauty, and complete separation from everyday chaos. Wake up to ocean breezes, nourish your body with chef-prepared meals, and reclaim your nervous system with hammock time, journaling, or a spontaneous swim in turquoise waters.

This is a space where rest is not only permitted—it’s prescribed.

Reclaim Your Own Wellness—Not as a Luxury, But as a Professional Necessity

Many therapists wait until they're burnt out to prioritize their well-being. But true ethical care requires ongoing, not reactive, attention to our internal state. This retreat helps you step out of survival mode and back into a rhythm of care that sustains both you and your clients. You’ll experience rest not as an escape, but as a practice in professional integrity.
