Purpose of the Retreat:

• The Revitalize & Rise Retreat: Thriving with Chronic Medical Conditions aims to create a supportive haven for adults grappling with a range of health challenges such as Fibromyalgia, Lupus, Chronic Pain, Diabetes, Hypertension, Arthritis, High Blood Pressure, and Chronic Kidney Disease. Our primary objective is to address the multifaceted mental health implications of these conditions, including depression, anxiety, grief, and anger. Through therapeutic sessions, educational workshops, and gentle physical activities, we seek to empower attendees with coping strategies, advocacy skills, and a sense of community to navigate their health journey with resilience and hope.

• What Guests Will Gain: By attending this retreat, guests will experience both rejuvenation and empowerment. Through individualized sessions with licensed therapists, behavioral specialists, massage therapists, and nurses, attendees will gain tools to navigate the emotional, mental, and physical challenges of living with chronic medical conditions. The retreat will offer group therapy, skills workshops, and gentle movement activities—all aimed at promoting well-being, self-compassion, and a higher quality of life. This experience is not just about managing illness; it's about rediscovering your strength and capacity to thrive.

• Why Guests Should Attend: We understand that living with chronic medical conditions can sometimes feel overwhelming, and travel may seem daunting. But this retreat is designed to accommodate varying levels of mobility and health needs, creating a safe, supportive space where guests can find respite. Whether you seek solace, knowledge, or connection, this retreat provides a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in tranquility and luxury. You’ll connect with others who share similar experiences, learn strategies to improve your well-being, and leave with the tools to better manage your health—physically, emotionally, and mentally—when you return home.

• Caregiver/Support Person Option: We recognize that having a support system can be crucial when managing health challenges. Each guest is welcome to bring a caregiver or support person, who will share a room with them in a luxurious king-sized bed (or a roll-away bed upon request, based on availability). Your support person is invited to participate in most retreat activities for a flat additional rate of $2,000. They will also receive one pre-retreat and one post-retreat therapy session, which can be attended solo or as a joint session with the retreat attendee. Please inquire for further details on support person involvement.

• Medical Support & Accommodations: We understand that traveling with a chronic condition can feel intimidating, but rest assured, the retreat is held at a resort equipped with a medical clinic staffed by trained professionals for peace of mind. Additionally, this retreat is designed with flexibility in mind—tailored to accommodate various levels of mobility and health concerns. We work closely with each guest before and during the retreat to ensure their needs are met, making daily adjustments as required. Our goal is to create a restorative experience that meets your specific needs.

• Accommodations & Resort Amenities: Indulge in a lavish 5-night stay in a private, exquisitely designed villa shared exclusively with other retreat attendees and facilitators. The villa boasts luxury amenities including a private pool, hot tub, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and daily housekeeping, ensuring your every comfort is attended to. Each spacious suite is thoughtfully designed to offer privacy and peacefulness, while the villa's tranquil ambiance provides the ideal environment to rest, heal, and rejuvenate. The resort itself offers endless opportunities for relaxation and enjoyment, including 12 swimming pools, 6 pristine beaches, and 11 restaurants and bars to explore. Guests can unwind with walks along 1.5 miles of beachfront, indulge in spa services (fee), or engage in activities such as snorkeling, tennis, and more. The lush surroundings and luxurious accommodations ensure that you’ll leave feeling refreshed and revitalized.
