Seminar Presentation:

By JoAnne Chitwood:

Have you had some deep losses in your life that have left you feeling off balance and questioning your ability to have healthy relationships? Are you wondering if the pain ever really goes away?

Here's the chance you've been waiting for! A two week retreat with JoAnne Chitwood RN, author and grief counselor, working on the connection between our life losses and our current relationship challenges. We'll look at the roots of our pain, the grief process and how it relates to our day to day relationship issues, how to set healthy boundaries for ourselves, and much, much more. In addition, we will go horseback riding, snorkeling, and kayaking in a gorgeous tropical setting. Bonfires on the beach and adventures into the rain forest are all part of our experience together.  We'll be in the beautiful, rustic Camp David lodge on the north shore of St Croix, one mile's walk to the beach.

This is a very special retreat at a discounted price- the only one we'll do this year at this price- so don't miss it!

Reviews of previous seminars:
"Besides my own personal breakthrough, I had the awesome opportunity to witness every member of the seminar group experience their own personal breakthrough.  There is power and healing in this seminar, and I highly recommend it to anyone who is ready to take the next step in their own personal journey .... I also experienced an enjoyable week free from media bombardment, family issues, work challenges, bills & junk mail, sports, news, politics, and advertising.  A vacation for my heart that I have no doubt contributed to the healing process." (Gary C.)

"Nothing I didn't like....Great concepts. I didn't know how much I needed to  grieve....If you want healing, I'd be going, if I were you. It's a once in a lifetime experience."
