While running a private practice, with all its demands on our energy and time, there is a tendency to become isolated from the social and professional support of our colleagues. This is especially true for independent practitioners who are not part of a group practice or clinical setting.
As holistic practitioners, many of us also encounter circumstances of deep cynicism and mistrust, whether with clients or other professionals. Even within the holistic community, we may find ourselves by-passing opportunities for collaboration and feel we must cling to our clientele to avoid losing their patronage.
The art of integrative healthcare, however, as well as the long-term success and sustainability of our practice, requires that we work together to overcome these experiences. This day-long workshop sponsored by Eclectic Health provides a unique opportunity in a nurturing retreat setting for personal and professional growth. It’s a one-of-a-kind experiential forum for story telling, networking, and therapeutic integration among like-minded practitioners of the healing arts.
