Retreats

Solution Retreats offer a vibrant, relaxing and important training experience. Combine a brief vacation with the intensity and power of being in community with others who are using this method to create a Solution in their lives.

We began offering Solution Retreats in 2001, not really knowing how successful they would be or what the outcome would be. Since rewiring the emotional brain requires intensive focused practice over time, would having a retreat give our community a mixed message – that is, that you could go to a weekend event and create a Solution in your life?

We were surprised and pleased with the outcomes of the first retreat as it appeared that people benefited from three days of intensive training. Also, being with other people who had the same goal – a Solution – and used the same tools created a sense of safety and a collective resonance that invigorated and inspired us all.

Many people who came to the retreats were in telegroups and wanted to meet some of their buddies from the groups. Others came who had a special need – a loss to grieve, an external solution to separate from – or they were at a point in their lives in which they wanted to do something important for themselves. Some people were going through a divorce, becoming empty nesters, considering starting a family or taking a respite from their careers. Others simple wanted to do something really nurturing for themselves; deepening their skills and moving toward their Solution seemed like just the right way to do that.

We began encouraging people to bring their partners, parents, best friends, adult children and health professionals to the retreats, people who had never been involved in Solution Training. It’s a wonderful way to get an introduction to The Method. We make a point of honoring your requests to be in a group with someone you know or - our preference - to be in a different group from them.

The schedules vary among retreats, but everyone is in a Solution Group with the same providers that meets each day for three days. Other people in their group are in approximately the same course. In addition, there are talks and workshops to attend. However, we’ve found that some people like to attend one session after another, whereas others like a more leisurely pace with plenty of time to go for a walk, enjoy the beautiful scenery or take a long, hot shower. These are your three days to enjoy in the ways that best meet your needs.

The Solution Method is an integrated approach to brain rewiring, so lifestyle matters. We encourage a healthy weekend with delicious 1-2-3 Eating meals, options for physical activity and relaxation along with time for meeting new Solution Buddies, taking care of your health and touching base with those back home, if that’s your need. All in all, the three days of intensive focused training in The Method brings you a new level of closeness to the community, personal triumphs and insights and a sense of shared vision – of a world at ONE.
