Leslie McKenna Coastal Retreats
Retreat to Rewire with Leslie in a beautiful, therapeutic coastal retreat for women
Since 1990 I have been working with women to assist them in dismantling old negative self perceptions, healing from body shame, and leaving behind memories from their past that no longer serve them in pursuing a well lived life. As I have worked with women in individual therapy over the years, I have often received feedback from them expressing their desire for a more intense, sustained therapeutic experience, where they can immerse themselves in the work for a sustained number of days to foster more rapid change.
My coastal retreat will provide women with the opportunity to move beyond the confines of traditional weekly psychotherapy to address and remedy issues that hold them back from living with joy, playfulness, peace and well being.
Do you struggle with:
- Body Shame
- Low Self Esteem
- Negative Belief Systems
- Feeling empty or alone
- Unhealthy relationships
Do you live with financial or material abundance, but wonder why you still feel unhappy? Perhaps my retreat, which will be held in a gorgeous, private coastal setting might enable you to find the answers that have been eluding you. With my many years of clinical experience, my knowledge of brain science and a stunning coastal setting, you may find the missing answers that have eluded you for years.
Enlist the power of Nature and my clinical skills to heal old emotional wounds and to rewire the brain
Women have often rejoiced in the transforming power of nature. During my retreats, we will combine solid clinical experiences which will be based in brain science and the latest research in healing trauma with the powerful, healing properties of the ocean. The week will consist of individual and group work and will incorporate immersion in nature to optimize reflection, the challenging of old negative beliefs and the birth of new ways of living.
My goal is to ensure that women who attend my retreat will leave with practical, well researched skills that they incorporate into their lives immediately to sustain and reinforce the changes they make at the retreat. Women will eat healthy organic meals, explore nature and find healing, joy and positivity in movement through therapeutic dance.
