Spring 2026 Featured Retreat: The Parent Reset Retreat
A restorative retreat in Spain for parents whose child is currently in treatment — or has completed treatment.
When your child is in treatment, you carry a weight most people will never understand. Even after they return home, the emotional load can linger — uncertainty, vigilance, exhaustion, hope, fear, and everything in between.
This retreat is a place where you get to exhale. A space designed exclusively for parents who need rest, support, renewal, and a community that truly understands their journey. You don’t have to explain. You don’t have to hold it all together. You just get to be human again.
Who This Retreat Is For:
- Parents with a child in wilderness, RTC, PHP/IOP, or transitional programs
- Parents whose child has completed treatment but still feel the emotional weight
- Parents who are burnt out, overwhelmed, or simply craving peace
- Anyone who wants grounding, connection, and clarity inside a compassionate community
You’ll receive the complete Siesta Retreat experience — plus parent-specific support designed exclusively for this retreat:
Retreat Features:
- Parent coaching + guided conversations
Support from two seasoned professionals with over 40 years combined experience helping families through treatment, transition, and reintegration. - A community of parents who truly “get it”
A safe, judgment-free space where your story is understood without explanation.
- Morning grounding practices
Parent-specific breathwork or mindfulness sessions that help regulate your nervous system and restore emotional balance. - Restorative cultural experiences
Light, nourishing activities that offer connection, creativity, and joy outside the stress of treatment life. - A midweek excursion for shared renewal
Explore a beautiful local city together, creating moments of ease and spaciousness. - Space for real rest
Unstructured time to breathe, reflect, and reconnect with yourself — without pressure to be “on.”
