Coming Home to Yourself
for the Holidays
December 9, 2018
9:00am - 5:00pm
A Gift of Serenity and Healing for Parents
impacted by their kid’s addiction or other mental health condition
A FREE One-Day Retreat
ONE Wellness Center, 2349 Monroe Ave., Rochester, NY
You love the spirit of the holidays, but when your life has been torn apart by the chaos and uncertainty of addiction or mental illness, it can also be a very sad and challenging time.
The worry, the thoughts of Are they safe? Will they be OK? Will this ever end?,
the pain, sadness, anger, and grief have all taken their toll on you.
You’re like a strong, tall tree, firmly rooted on the ground, branches extending upward…until you learn of your child’s illness, and you feel the shaking in the foundation of this tree. You meet with the professionals and find out how serious things are, and a branch falls off. You see the pain your child is enduring, and another branch drops. Another late night phone call, another branch. Arrests, hospital visits, frustration with the systems that are supposed to help – powerlessness, and more branches drop away until eventually your own essence begins to split.
If you can relate to any of this, this free one-day retreat is for you.
Addiction and mental illness destroy more than just the life of the individual who’s struggling;
they shake the whole household to the core, impacting everyone who comes in their wake.
They have the tendency to leave parents feeling very alone, scared,
doubting themselves and unsure how to find ground again.
You are not alone. It is possible to find the ground again.
Join us in this day of healing and self-renewal along with other parents who have walked a similar journey.

It’s time to create a new way, a new path for you. It’s time to discover that peace and joy are possible.
As a mom who understands this path and the many pieces that accompany it,
I have created this gift for you, with the support of several gifted practitioners from our community.
A full day to help parents let down, reclaim their serenity, and find a little healing joy…
no matter what your loved one’s current situation.
We are offering this one day retreat as a gift to honor those of you who have given so much of yourself to others.
You are such an incredibly valuable resource to your family -
you bring the love, the comfort, the grounding force,
and you have supported others and given even when you had nothing left to give.
You deserve this day, and with the generous donation of space from ONE Wellness Center
and the generosity of practitioners who want to support you,
we gladly offer this invaluable retreat to you at no cost.

Restful, safe, powerful, emotional, enduring…Barb’s Mothers Day retreat was so much more than expected!
The power and connection of spending time with other moms of shared experience was immeasurable.
I laughed, I cried, I bonded and I healed. I will always have the Serenity Sisters I made that weekend!
was surprised what I learned about myself, and continue the practice of coming home to myself.
I am so looking forward to the next retreat I am able to attend!

Please give yourself the gift of a day to let go, relax, and lean into the healing,
knowing that there is nothing for you to fix or figure out during this time –
