The Pitch

You hold space for people all week long. This is a week where the coast holds you instead.

There is a word on the Dalmatian coast for the state of doing absolutely nothing and feeling wonderful about it. Fjaka. Not laziness. Not a day off you have to earn. A whole way of being that the rest of us gave up somewhere around graduate school.

This is not a conference with name badges and fluorescent lighting. It's a resort on the Adriatic with a pool, a terrace for long dinners, and a group of clinicians who get it, the weight of the work, and how rarely you let yourself set it down.

Mornings are for training. Afternoons are for waterfalls, wine tastings, island ferries, or the nap you've been owing yourself since last year. Evenings are for long dinners, easy conversation, and the kind of laughing that makes your face hurt.

Come for the CEUs. Leave with so much more.

Who This Is For

Therapists, counselors, social workers, and helping professionals who are long overdue for something that's just for them.

You don't need to be burned out to come. You just need to be willing to stop for a week and let yourself be taken care of. If you're working on your boundaries, learning to say yes to things just because they sound like fun, and no to things without guilt, you're our people.

If you've ever justified a personal trip by calling it professional development, you're definitely our people.
