Intensive retreats are transformational experiences that are equivalent to 5 years of individual psychotherapy in one weekend.  They typically begin on Thursday evening and continue to Sunday afternoon.

We begin by creating a safe and accepting community of group members.  Then, each person takes a turn doing a piece of individual work in the group.  The individual work  uses the wisdom of your inner process to guide you into a deeper connection with whatever experience needs to emerge.  These retreats are a wonderful place to do deep emotional work and connect with anger, grief or fear in a safe and loving environment.

I lead these intensive retreats at 2 different locations for 2 different retreat populations:

Shalom Retreats at Shalom Mountain Retreat Center 

Located in the Catskill Mountains of New York in Livingston Manor about 2 hours from NYC, these retreats  are for all men and women, and offered every month.  In addition to the standard Shalom Retreat (described above) there are other retreats focused on many other topics.

Living Full Out at Easton Mountain 

Located 20 minutes northwest of Albany, NY, these retreats are for gay men and are offered 3 times a year.  Easton Mountain offers many additional events which can be found on their website.
