The retreat

Slow down the pace of life, immerse yourself in deep connections and conversations with your colleagues who really get what it feels like to try and find balance in medicine. Through our expertly led and CPD approved educational program covering mindfulness, meditation, communication skills, compassionate boundaries and self care- we will guide to finding your flow and spark. The you behind the doctor.

While all Whole Hearted Medicine retreats focus heavily on guiding you towards mindful and sustainable self care in the busy world of medicine, this particular retreat does this with an emphasis on reflection. Taking the time to slow down and consider how self care and wellbeing feature in each of our lives.
