RECALIBRATE

You’re here doing your damnedest with this worldwide dumpster fire raging around us.

 

You’ve been STRESSED & OVERWHELMED

You’re empathetic.

You’re angry at onslaught of attacks affects those you serve and those you love. It also affects you.

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?

Since hosting my first 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 also had folx from coast to coast express desire to attend but are challenged by the logistics of an in-person weekend retreat (in Oklahoma of all places). So I’ve fused the ESSENCE of the retreat

This makes it accessible to Queer Healers inside and outside the United States, and extends the retreat from one weekend to an six week experience.

I’ve cherry picked the best of a weekend retreat experience & an online group coaching 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 how you get from overwhelmed to peace and clarity:

~ 1 weekly video from me sent to your email on Friday with a recommended self-care activity to try over the weekend so that you can practice and experiment and arrive at our group call aware of the barriers and/or benefits that particular practice brings up for you in real time.

(For example, ways to decompress over the weekend and prepare your space.)

~ Weekly 90 minute small group coaching calls via Zoom so that you can experience community, connection, and process barriers and benefits.

~ 1 on 1 coaching via video between sessions so that you can… (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 so that you can have additional space for support and connection from other group members.

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

Let’s Recalibrate!

✅  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.
