Integrative Supervision Retreat

Our work can be really hard. Our learning needs to be blissful.

Come and experience integrative supervision like never before, where relaxation intertwines with professional growth and development. Combine 10 hours of group supervision with rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation on the shores of Lake Erie in Ontario.

The weekend of supervision will include trauma focused case consultations, embodiment through somatic techniques, exploration of journaling, meditation and creative therapeutic practices. Additionally, we’ll get curious about parts work, invitational language and best practices when working with relational trauma. The weekend will focus in on your unique use of self and how to find more engaging work with the clients that you feel most called to work with.

The 10 hours of supervision will be led by Rebecca Feuerstein. Rebecca brings more than 15 years of experience working in a variety of systems such as family court, child protection and psychiatric hospitals. She is relentlessly curious and passionate about assisting clients in finding the path they wish to take. Rebecca meets all CRPO supervisor requirements.

Retreat Itinerary

We will have a lovely mix of learning and free time. All supervision sessions involve experiential integration of the material covered. The weekend will be all about practicing what we preach. Expect somatic movement, journaling, meditation, and opportunities to play with crystals, oracle cards and sound therapy tools as we embody the skills we teach to clients. There is space in the schedule daily to explore the property, play by the water or grab a nap, whatever you would like! Reiki will be infused into the retreat space and fire time to accelerate your recharge and relaxation. We will have evening supervision by the bonfire to explore how to gain momentum in working with the clients that light you up. You will walk away from the weekend feeling energized, focused and ready to apply sharpened clinical skills in your everyday practice.
