Falling Into Peace
A day-long retreat for mental health therapists
Friday, September 25 in Sequim, WA
You’re invited to a special, day-long private retreat hosted by Rajani Venkatraman Levis (Levis Therapy) and Maelisa McCaffrey (QA Prep).
Step away from the demands of clinical work and reconnect with your own inner landscape.
Engage in meaningful connection with fellow therapists in a supportive, nature-based setting.
Participate in a small act of service (land care) as a grounding and gratitude practice.
Explore themes of presence, restoration, and sustainable therapeutic practice.
Rajani, caretaker for the land, shares a warm invitation to join the retreat…
This gathering is designed as a space for therapists to reconnect with themselves, with each other, and with the land that sustains us.
