Turning Point Healing

---

A Turning Point can become a time of decisive change. It’s when things cannot go on as before and you seek to discover how to guide your way.

What is it? 

Turning Point Residential Healing Retreat, is an intensive program created to help people who have chosen to change their lives, transform, heal, and move forward. It is open to anyone who has these desires, wishes, and commitments.

Individualized Programs 

As each of us are following an individual path, so too do our therapeutic and healing methods vary according to what you need. The focus is that you receive what you need. Each Turning Point  program is different for each person.

What to expect

Support, Unconditional witnessing, mentoring, steps to feel your own inner wisdom and connect to your own inner compass to guide yourself.

Optional daily group meditations begin your day here to ground yourself and closing meditations facilitate the time and energy to allow yourself a moment of integration and inner peace.

Time alone to Integrate and Time together with other Participants.

Location

Set in Tuscany between the mountains and the sea one can walk on the beach, in the forest, or in the town centre just a few minutes away. The Sanctum sits within a garden of fruit and olive trees and also has a meditation hut, and a small creek on the grounds for walks or contemplation.

Nourishing body and spirit 

Ayurvedic massages will be arranged from a centre we have been collaborating with for over nine years. For those who prefer not to have a massage there is also reflexology and reiki, or other options to consider that help integrate mind and body such as Tai chi, Qi Gong or Yoga. What's most important is that you can work with what feels comfortable at the rhythm that suits you.

Follow up

We create a regular and consistent form of post Turning Point check-ins as well as exercises and sessions that reinforce your ability to follow the next steps you planned   and when necessary we help you to adjust them accordingly. In some situations we may recommend continued therapies and exercises. Best results come from attending one Turning Point and a few months later returning to create a complete transformation.

Background

Since the founding of Verziere Sanctum, the Turning Point Retreats have unfolded organically with a constant focus on personal development in small groups and individuals in order to provide people with the attention and support they require.

Our program is based upon many decades of working with clients and with collaborating with other therapists.

The insights developed from these experiences have led us to thoughtfully combine several methods in practice along with daily debriefing among the therapists to gain a broader perspective in order to create deeper, more profound ways of transformation and develop the next active steps in one's life journey.

Supervision and Feedback 

Another important baseline for our program came from years of working on supervised weekends with therapists and volunteers collaborating together for five to seven day periods. Our therapists would work in pairs with one observing and the other facilitating. Between supervision and debrief discussions individual methodologies evolved with the support and collaboration of the observing and participating therapists and their supervisors. This also often included the feedback of the volunteer as well.

Remember even therapists need therapy. Our own therapists continue working with their own personal development both for themselves as growing beings and to be better therapists. Therefore we welcome therapists who need a retreat or respite in order to integrate all they are experiencing.

It is also possible to organise an Individual Turning Point:

working with our therapists in pairs, creating a unique program for yourself that is residential.
