Pavillon, a nonprofit center for the treatment of alcoholism and addiction, is starting the New Year by offering a weekend of self-care, wellness and peace of mind. “Getting Out of Our Own Way” a spiritual and wellness self-care retreat, will take place February 17-19. All are welcome to attend this weekend.

 

“As humans, one of our biggest downfalls is too much stress and not enough self-care,” states Pavillon’s Spiritual/Wellness Director, Wolf Yoxall. “For many, this has been even more true in the last few years. This weekend will provide an opportunity to get away and discover where the blocks are around our ability to take better care of ourselves.”

 

The weekend will begin with a welcoming fire circle with relaxing music. Over the course of the weekend, participants will renew their hearts, minds, and spirits through music, yoga, meditation walks, creative expression, acupuncture, sound journeying, and storytelling. A renewed sense of energy, laughter, and self-care insights, will be the gifts of the retreat. 

 

According to the National Council for Mental Well-Being, “Engaging in a self-care routine has been clinically proven to reduce or eliminate anxiety and depression, reduce stress, increase happiness, and more. It can help you adapt to changes, build strong relationships, and recover from setbacks.”
