Bunkhouse occupants will have access to the swimming pool during certain hours. Modest bathing suits are required.
A Sunday evening snack will be provided. Meals will be provided from Monday morning through Noon on Friday.

$565 including tax in addition to the workshop cost. This includes lodging in a Double-Occupancy Room.
If you’d like to request a single occupancy room, the cost is $1,000 for the length of stay.
Individuals will be paired with another workshop attendee of the same sex except for instances where couples attending a couple’s workshop are allowed to room together. (Couples are not allowed to room together for the Discovery to Recovery workshop.)

Length of stay is from Sunday evening through Friday morning.
Check-in on Sunday is from 5:00 p.m – 9:00 p.m.

On the day of check-out, participants will be asked to bring a lock for their suitcase which can be left in the room while they finish the workshop. The lock is required as rooms will be serviced during the day on Friday.

Finding Real Joy This Christmas

We careen through a season built for stillness and reverence.
We have a tendency to judge those people who manage eschew the madness. I mean, most good holiday movies have a character like that, right? We tend to chalk it up to being a grouch, or miserly, or having lost the meaning of Christmas.
I don’t know… I’ve always had a soft spot for His Grinchiness. I do love a curmudgeon. I think in many ways, the Green One was onto something. Listen closely to what he says- he’s not ranting about Christmas at all. He expresses dismay over “packages, boxes, and bags” and extravagant feasts. He rails against the “noise, noise, noise, noise.” None of that is Christmas. All of that is hustle.

‘Tis the season, all right. The season of HUSTLE.

I really began thinking about this a few weeks ago, in the lead up to Thanksgiving. This season is a particularly challenging time for survivors of childhood trauma. So much of our abuse happens within the family, and holidays often mean going home to the scene of the crime. Literally.

Are You Still Facebook Friends with your Ex?

What’s one of the first things people do when they break up with someone?
These days the most common answer is, “Check his or her Facebook page,” right?

So why do we do this? Why do we torture ourselves? Why is it so hard to delete them and start working on healing and moving forward?

Long, long ago, in the ancient olden days before Facebook, texting—even before the internets—when two people broke up the only way to remain in touch was to…

A) Ask their friends about them,
B) Call (and often hang up—until Caller ID was invented) or
C) Drive by their house (also known as “stalking.”)

There were no “check their status” or “see who posted on their wall” options. (Technically, this could also be called “stalking.”) Unfortunately, what modern technology can do is cause us to obsess more, feel jealous more, and stay stuck in the past.

So let’s review.

Facebook with your ex = Fear.

Deleting and moving forward = Faith.

The letting go, grieving, healing, and moving forward parts? Let those who want to help you do so. Seek support. Find healthy people and healthy activities to stay busy with. Go on a trip. Practice self-care. And whatever you do, don’t check your ex’s Facebook page. Delete it and block it. Treat it like detox from a drug. One day at a time. You can do it. Have some faith.

Eating Disorders Workshop Arizona

Food – everyone’s first love. Nobody could survive without food as we talk, but can you imagine food harming us? Scientifically, food pumps blood, produces energy and keeps our body healthy but it has flipside too like everything else. It could ruin us physically and mentally if it is abused. Just ask following questions to yourself based on your body type:

Do you feel you are getting fatter even if you are eating less – anorexia?

Or do you feel you are not getting fat even if your food intake is sufficient – obesity?

Or you think you have a problem of binge eating disorder?

  Thus, Rio Retreat Centre brings you Eating Disorder Workshop. Suffering from eating disorder, this Workshop for Eating Disorders is open to men and women at Remuda Ranch. Here, we provide workshop therapy for every kind of disorder. Be it overeating, under eating, fluctuate back and forth, or do both at the same time. This workshop helps you see your current struggles with food through the lens of your personal history. By participating in together meals, you learn to identify and separate your emotions and thoughts.

Thus, Rio Retreat and Remuda Ranch brings you Eating Disorder Workshop to cure every kind of disorder and to be free from it for life.
