UNPLUG

and

RECALIBRATE

An 8-week small group coaching/virtual retreat just for queer healers.

Let me guess…

 

You’ve been STRESSED & OVERWHELMED

You’re empathetic.

You’re angry!

The onslaught of attacks affects those you serve and those you love.

It also affects you.

You’re here doing your damnedest with this worldwide dumpster fire

raging around us.

Stepping up & serving. Stepping back & surviving.

It can be lonely. It can be isolating.

Does any of this sound familiar?

*You’re able to stay in professional mode at work, but are exhausted when you leave.

*Your body is crashing & you feel stress manifesting in physical issues.

*You’re familiar with self-care.  Hell, you help others prioritize it!  Still, you’re so worn out you don’t always get around to it for yourself.

*You feel isolated at times, like you’re carrying the weight alone.

*You feel disconnected and crave community.

 

It’s time to UNPLUG!

Let SOMEONE ELSE prep and guide you while YOU

RECHARGE

RE-CENTER

and RECALIBRATE

All in an intimate group setting with folx like you. 

 

IMAGINE

having a safe space to disconnect within a small intimate group of other like-minded queer healers.  

A space where you (and we) honor and celebrate your journey so far.  

A space to receive support to detach and reset.  

A space where current blocks and barriers dissipate and you step into your next season centered, clear, & connected.

 
 

Hi, I’m Christa (she/they)

I’m neurodivergent,

queer as fuck,

and a late bloomer.

I’m a therapist in private practice.

I’m also the founder of Queer Healers and

Deep Allies Weekend Retreat.

What’s a small group coaching/virtual retreat?

Small intimate retreats

are my jam!

Since creating the retreat

I’ve got so much feedback

from people CRAVING this kind of support.

Support from someone

in our community,

for our community.

I’ve had folx from coast to coast express

a desire to attend, but challenged

by the logistics of an in-person

weekend retreat (in Oklahoma of all places).

I’m expanding what I offer by

fusing

the ESSENCE of the retreat

with the convenience and flexibility

of a small group coaching

program.

This makes it accessible to Queer Healers

inside and outside the United States,

and extends the retreat

from one weekend

to an eight week experience.

I’m cherry picking

the best

of a weekend retreat experience

& an online

group coaching program

just for you.

Here’s what we do to Unplug & Recalibrate:

*Calm – You will go through exercises to calm your nervous system.

 

*Cleanse – You’ll consider and contemplate the stressors you are dealing with and the barriers to breaking through.

*Contemplate - You’ll use journal prompts to reflect and identify contributing layers.

 

*Create - You’ll identify sources of play and joy.  You will brainstorm self-nurturing opportunities that you crave.

*Clarify - You’ll recalibrate your current self-nurturing plan to be more effective for you in this season of your life.

 

*Connect - You’ll experience all of this in an intimate group of like-minded queer healers who are also craving support and community.

 

Here’s what you’ll get:

~ 1 weekly video from me sent to your email on Friday with tips on ways to prepare for Mondays session. (For example, ways to decompress over the weekend and prepare your space.)

~ Weekly small group coaching sessions via Zoom on Mondays (90-minutes)

~ 1 on 1 coaching via video between sessions. (You’ll have a weekly opportunity to email me a video with questions or thoughts & receive video responses back from me.)

~ Private Facebook Group access just for our group.

The dates for the live session are:

Mondays: TBA

1:00pm-2:30pm PST

2:00pm-3:30pm MST

3:00pm-4:30pm CST

4:00pm-5:30pm EST

Are you Ready?

✅  This is for you if….

You are a queer (two-spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and/or gender expansive, queer and/or questioning, intersex, pansexual, asexual, etc.) healer grappling with compassion fatigue.

You’ve done a lot of work around your own self-care practices and know yourself fairly well.

You are craving connection and community and a container where you CAN JUST BE and let someone else lead and do the work of preparing.

You want to center more easily, create more freely, breathe easier and bring your best self to work and life.

You are willing and able to attend all 8 live sessions.

You are able to grab a few materials and adjust your environment in small ways as we go. (Notebook or journal. Sticky notes. Pen. Optional: Candles or essential oils for scent, speaker for background music, dim lighting through candles or lamps, a warm blanket for snuggling if you like.)

❌  This is not for you if…


You’re an ally. (While that is deeply appreciated, this space is being held for queer healers specifically.)

You want a hands off experience without interacting with others. (If this is you 1 on 1 coaching might be a better option.)

You aren’t able to carve out time and hold space for the group sessions.

You’re offended by me saying fuck. (It’s gonna happen.)

You’re looking for therapy. (That’s not what we are doing here.)

You’re wanting to show up at a location for an in person retreat. The Retreat may be more your jam.

 

Am I speaking your language?

  • The weekly video email will come with suggestions on additional ways to unplug before, after, and between sessions to maximize the retreat vibes at home if you choose to try them.

  • Each session will start with a mindfulness exercise to calm the Vagus nerve and slow our body rhythm. We will spend time with journal prompts and group discussion. I will walk you through some exercises to cleanse, contemplate, create and clarify.

  • Each week you can submit a video recording for me through email with questions and thoughts for feedback. We will use Loom for the videos. The video max time is 5 minutes and there is a free version of Loom. I will respond back to your questions and thoughts through a Loom video within 3 days.

  • I will moderate the group from April 3rd - May 22nd. After that the group may be live but I won’t be a part of it after May 22nd.

  • No! Healers come in all shapes, sizes and careers. Doctors, nurses, case managers, social workers, massage therapists, yoga instructors, volunteers and healers in the community who aren’t paid for it. MANY people in the community are playing the role of a healer in their everyday life without a title. If you connect to the term healer and are queer, then welcome! You count!

  • If you miss I can send you a summary of what you missed, including a video of instructions of what we walked through so that you can walk through it as well if you choose.

  • This is an all-in experience requiring brave and vulnerable work and that requires commitment. Because this is a live program with a limit number of openings, no refunds will be given. If you have questions please reach out to me before purchasing.

  • I don’t anticipate this and will work hard to avoid it happening. Life does happen. I’ve held May 29th as a makeup date in case there is an unexpected emergency that requires a cancellation so that you don’t miss out on a group session.
