Desert Bloom Retreat
at
Ojo Santa Fe | Santa Fe, New Mexico
Space is limited to only 12 guests for this Retreat.
Come and join us October 9-12, 2025...
This October, I’m holding space for a small group of psychotherapists to step away from the demands of clinical work — and come together for four days of restoration, reflection, and reconnection.
We’ll gather at Ojo Santa Fe, a quiet, high desert sanctuary surrounded by natural springs, cottonwoods, and expansive skies. The retreat is designed to nourish the inner lives of those who care for others and who would like the chance to pause and prioritize themselves.

This is a reflective, trauma-informed retreat focused on replenishment.
No CEUs, no performance. Just real space to land and listen inward, in community with others who understand the work.
let’s gather. let’s exhale. let’s restore.
A space for you — mind, body and spirit
This retreat is a chance to step away from the urgency of daily life and return to yourself — your center, your purpose, your why.
As therapists, we hold so much. We often work within systems that prioritize productivity over presence, and we pour our energy into others while our own needs quietly fall to the bottom of the list.
This retreat is designed to support you — your mind, your body, your spirit. It’s an invitation to rest, reflect, and reconnect. To gather strength not just for your work, but for your own wellbeing.
Given the storms of recent years, can you offer yourself this time?
Not to produce. Not to perform. But simply to be.
What You’ll Experience
A Restorative Setting: Nestled in the tranquil beauty of Ojo Santa Fe—ideal for rest, reflection, and nervous system ease.
Wholesome Meals: Nourishing, farm-to-table dishes that restore energy and well-being.
Daily Group Sessions: Gentle, meaningful space for self-reflection, connection, and growth.
Movement & Hot Springs: Support your body with light movement and deep relaxation in Ojo’s healing waters.
Spaciousness: Plenty of unstructured time to rest, wander, or simply be.
After the Retreat
Emotionally: Rebalanced and reconnected—clearer, lighter, more attuned.
Physically: Rested and revitalized from nourishing care and movement.
Spiritually: Grounded and renewed, with a deeper sense of purpose.
Leave With
A calmer mind, a clearer heart, and tools to sustain your resilience.
A sense of wholeness—emotionally, physically, and spiritually.
Renewed energy for your healing work—and for yourself.

Not only can the retreat help prevent burnout and promote emotional resilience, but it can also directly enhance clinical efficacy and long-term well-being in your therapeutic work.

Supported Rate
Sponsored by Compass Rose Psychotherapy
At Desert Bloom Retreat, we believe that healing professionals deserve to invest in their own well-being. To support this, Compass Rose Psychotherapy of Santa Fe, New Mexico, is sponsoring a limited number of “supported rate” spots for the retreat. This initiative aligns with our commitment to ensuring that healing professionals can prioritize their own well-being in a nurturing, rejuvenating, and inclusive environment.
If you’re interested in learning more about the supported rate and how to apply, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We are committed to making this retreat accessible to those who need it most.
One Fully Covered Opportunity for a Therapist who works at a Community Mental Health Clinic
In recognition of the essential work done by therapists in Community Mental Health Clinics, we are excited to offer one "fully covered" opportunity at the Desert Bloom Retreat to a clinician who works full-time in this critical field. This fully supported experience is intended to help a therapist who may otherwise face financial barriers to attending, allowing them to rest, recharge, and return to their important work with renewed energy and purpose.
If you are a therapist serving in a Community Mental Health Clinic and would benefit from this fully covered opportunity, we encourage you to reach out for more details and to apply. We are honored to offer this special chance as a gesture of gratitude for the impactful work you do every day.
You are worth the investment.
Supporting the healers. Sustaining the work.
Let’s get started.
Because taking a pause is possible.
relax. restore. realign.
Land Acknowledgment
Desert Bloom Consulting acknowledges that our October 2025 psychotherapists’ retreat at Ojo Santa Fe takes place on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Tewa people. This region is also culturally significant to the broader Pueblo communities, as well as to Apache and Diné (Navajo) peoples.
The sacred waters and fertile grounds around Ojo Santa Fe—located at Los Pinos Road—have supported Indigenous life, ceremony, and healing for generations. We honor the resilience, wisdom, and sovereignty of Native communities past and present, and commit to walking in a spirit of respect, accountability, and learning.
As we gather for rest and reflection, we also acknowledge the responsibilities we carry as guests on this land. We encourage our community to learn about the original stewards of the land they occupy and to support Indigenous-led efforts for cultural preservation, land rematriation, and healing.
