Inner Child Healing Retreat
San Ignacio, Belize
Sept. 27 - Oct. 3, 2026
Heal & Play
This retreat is designed to guide you into a deeper relationship with your inner child through healing and play.
Why should I go on a retreat?
Retreats offer powerful healing opportunities because of staying inside the healing container for multiple days in a row. With periodic healing/therapy sessions, you immediately go back out into your daily life where it is easy to fall out of the healing that happened in that short time. At a retreat, there is more opportunity to anchor in and reinforce the healing so that it is more integrated. With the healing more integrated, going back into the world, and your life, after the retreat gives you a greater chance for those healed parts to become your new ways of being.
Retreats that happen in nature, give the additional support of the Earth and Mother Nature holding your vulnerability and helping you stay grounded so that you can feel safe enough going deeper into the work.
On my retreats, everything is taken care of for you. You get to be free of responsibility and having to think for others and yourself. You get the pleasure of just being present so that you can heal and play.
This retreat is a good balance of healing workshops, play, adventure, connection and free time to yourself. The healing workshops will be focused on healing the pain that your inner child still carries and restoring your connection with this deeply profound part of you. You will have the opportunity to play and adventure with our activities so that you can integrate your inner child and give yourself the space to be freely expressed.
What is this retreat about?
Your inner child is the core part of your human self that is connected to joy, creativity, connection, and emotion. The inner child is the free-spirit part of us, the one that reminds us to have fun and enjoy life. It is the part of us that has the ability to bring balance to a chaotic world.
This retreat will teach you how to do inner child work on your own in your day to day life so that you can continue to create a stronger relationship of unconditional Love and acceptance with yourself and the world around you.
The purpose of this healing retreat is to heal and transform your relationship with your inner child, creating a stronger connection to this sacred part of you. This will give you a greater chance of a thriving life filled with joy, peace, connection, Love and all else you are seeking.
When the inner child feels safe and secure, we live life with more courage and greater self-esteem.
The safe and secure inner child is the one filled with awe and wonder that believes anything is possible for them, giving them the confidence needed to create the life they desire. The inner child that does not feel safe and secure will sabotage life, keeping you stuck in painful experiences that it has learned to adapt to because it believes that is where it will be safe. For this inner child, it believes the pain that it knows is safer than the potential peace and joy in the unknown.
When the inner child is ruled by fear and pain, we live a life in survival mode.
The experiences we have during our childhood and teenage years are a huge part of what shapes us into who we become as adults. When we are judged, shamed, dismissed and invalidated by others as a child, we learn that who we are is not okay or safe. We learn the only way to feel safe is to shut down or lock away parts of our authentic self. Those painful and traumatic experiences distort the way we perceive life, making it harder to see and feel the beauty and magic that is all around us.
No matter where you are on your healing journey, you can benefit from this retreat as it is equal parts restorative healing practices as well as integration through play.
