A Health Retreat to help free yourself from depression and live into greater appreciation of  everyday life…….

Depression health retreat
A health retreat for finding a way out of depression

My experience is, and I believe there is a way out of depression and I am here to help you find your way.  You do not need to be alone in it.  I will be on your side when you laugh and when you cry.  I want you to feel safe, comfortable, cared for and supported during your stay and afterwards while I maintain our contact with you.

I would like you to know that you are very welcome to contact me with any questions you may have and to share some of what is going on for you because I am here to help and this is what I am all about.

It is important to know that, you are not the Depression, and the Depression is not you and that Depression can be temporary.  This statement will become a lot clearer when you come on Retreat with me.

My commitment to you is to teach you and facilitate a programme that provides you with tools and experiences that can help you to get out of depression and grow into a greater state of appreciation for your life and how it unfolds.

I understand Depression to be a psychological state triggered by a particular perspective on life (how one perceives their life).  For Depression to lift one needs to correct that psychological state to recover and regain an appreciative interest in life.

When people really take hold of the education offered here (with the support of the other treatments involved) and discover for themselves what may have led to depression and get to learn a way to correct the belief systems associated with depression, they have made significant changes in their life and together with ongoing support and applying what they have learnt they are able to appreciate living and everyday life and who they are.

I have put this programme together based on my learning, research and experience in bringing treatments, therapies (and therapists) and teachings together in such a way I believe allows our guests the greatest opportunity to recover.

Depression Health Retreat

I invite you to talk to a past guest who has attended a similar retreat to the one your are considering, to get a better idea about what you might expect by coming on retreat with me.  I am very happy to arrange this for you.   Please let me know what I can do to make you feel more comfortable with your decision to come on retreat with me.  

I cater for one retreat guest at a time.  It is a personalised individual retreat focused on your personal development. You live in with me and I am available at all times.

Your retreat is private and confidential meaning that your personal information is not disclosed to anyone else except those who you share it with.  It is focused on high quality, professional treatments and therapies to support your recovery from depression.

The minimum stay is 7 days living onsite with me with follow up support.  A maximum of 21 days living onsite with me with further extensions may be arranged by mutual agreement and is subject to availability. If you have at least average health and feel you have enough physical energy, we highly recommend that you do a Detox Health Retreat and let me know that your main focus for this retreat would be to recover from Depression.

Retreats include a range of activities and therapies to assist you including …

  • Life coaching.  A purposeful series of life coaching sessions where together we look into what existing belief systems you have that are likely to cause psychological stress and your current health conditions (depression).  I can very quickly discover this by hearing some of the stories you tell and how you tell them.  I teach you common ways of thinking that can lead to depression and psychological stress.  I address the causes of psychological stress from belief systems that are common is society that are based on achievement, fear of missing out, that things should be different and that self worth is measured by achievements and the value of your contribution to society and in your own life, and how it is measured by others.  I then teach you how you may neutralise it and grow and develop into the appreciation of life and living.
  • Transforming Breathwork to help release past emotional trauma resulting from life experiences which may still be causing psychological stress.  Bringing them to the surface will assist in allowing new information to be integrated into the mind and body.  This may then become a tool that you can learn and use in your everyday life.
  • The Journey” sessions are emotional healing sessions that bring forth from your subconscious mind and into your conscious awareness the relevant issues and past memories which still cause unknown psychological stress in the body and mind.  This guided process is done in a safe and self observing way.  The results can be remarkable with change starting to happen straight away and further improvement with time.  (I recommend you read the book prior to arrival although it is not necessary.  The name of the book is, “The Journey” by Brandon Bays.  Most public libraries and major book stores have this book available).
  • Remedial massage.  These are remedial massages to support detoxifying your physical body and relaxation and will be done by a mobile massage therapist I bring in or in case I need to take you to a massage therapy clinic I will do so.
  • Exercise.  We will encourage you to take part in exercise that suits your current health level while you are on retreat.  My highest recommendation for exercise if practical for you is to attend yoga classes (extra cost for the classes will apply).   As with my retreats, using the breath is the main focus and so is the practice of calming a stressed mind and finding practical ways to do this.  Yoga sessions can assist you in opening your body and mind to a greater appreciation of being alive.

Live-In Depression Health Retreats are individually designed to bring together supporting treatments and therapies which I have found helpful in healing anxiety.

Your retreat is all about you and I encourage you to focus only on you.  Inform your family and friends that you are away on retreat and not available during that time.

My involvement is of the nature of guide, coach, facilitator, educator, supporter and teacher and it is in this function I specialise in. I do my best to create a safe and supportive environment in which you can experience emotional, deep level healing and personal development.

My offering to you is comprised of a holistic, multi-faceted approach supporting your healing experience and tailored to your original decision to heal.

Depression Health Retreat Options

There are four options for the depression health retreat as listed below.  Alternatively I may design a retreat for you that is a minimum of 7 days.

Intensive Depression Health Retreat

Duration 7 days/7 nights

This intensive retreat is most suitable for people who may be seeking to overcome a less serious depression and still mainly coping reasonably well with life.  I recommend that you have a quiet week afterwards (like an at home retreat) with plenty of time for yourself to continue absorbing and putting into practice what you will learn here.  It is important that you will be returning to a supportive environment after this intensive retreat.  You will gain many resources while on my retreats and time and sometimes patience is needed to apply and experience them once you leave.  

The intensive depression health retreat includes:

  • Accommodation – own room with queen or double sized bed.  All meals.  Local Outings.  Airport and bus terminal transfers.  Transport to and from outings.
  • 4 Life Coaching Sessions
  • 2 Transforming Breathwork sessions
  • 1 “The Journey” therapy
  • 1 Full body massage
  • Meditation and exercise
  • Regular follow up calls for up to three months (upon agreement).  You will gain many resources while on my retreats and time and sometimes patience is needed to apply and experience them once your leave. I recognise it to be extremely important to have easy access to support once you go back into the environment you came from just to help guide you and answer some of the questions that are likely to come up in relationship to what you have learnt and experienced and how to apply it in your life.

Value towards your Personal Development and Appreciation of Living: $6,300 NZ

Leaving the premises is to be arranged with us.

Respectful communication.  The aim is to communicate as honestly and openly about anything that helps me to help you.

There will be no access to watching television or listening to radio during your visit, however I do make selected DVD’s available for your viewing.

Things not to bring or purchase during your visit:

  • Cigarettes – this could be an opportunity (if you are a smoker) to give them up.  If you cannot possibly go without them you may smoke cigarettes outdoors as infrequently as possible.

I am compassionate man and easy to get along with.  I do recognise that changing your present lifestyle can be difficult and you may encounter some feelings of withdrawal from substances, people or routines.  I am here to support you so you can dedicate the time you spend with me entirely to your retreat programme and your goals.

Contact Us …

To ask any further questions… or to arrange a time with me so we can discuss the best programme for you.

You may ask, “Why bother possessing goals?” My answer would be, “That all depends upon your understanding of the purpose of goals!” When you have learnt the correct purpose of goals, it will then be possible for the clouds of depression to lift.
