Stay Human - Connection at the edge of capacity
With Stephen Odom PhD, LMFT, Andrea Jensen E-RYT 500 and Gina Brown E-RYT 500
March 3 - 7, 2027
Stay Human is for people who are trying to make sense of it all — who believe in therapy, self-care, kindness, and hard work, and yet still feel an almost. An undercurrent. A sense of living close to the edge of capacity where anxiety or quiet angst creeps in — or never quite leaves.
This retreat is a pause — not to escape your life, but to experience it differently.
Through guided conversation, yoga and movement, breathwork, meditation, sound, and facilitated circles, we’ll work at the level beneath ideas. The level of nervous systems. The level of pacing. The level where connection either tightens or opens.
Together, we’ll explore how pressure accumulates, how isolation quietly grows even among capable people, and what restores our capacity to stay connected — to ourselves and to one another — when things feel tense.
This isn’t about fixing what’s wrong. It’s about strengthening what allows you to remain steady in the middle of complexity: regulation, repair, discernment, and relational courage.
You’ll leave not just restored, but practiced — with embodied tools for meeting pressure without hardening, and staying human when it would be easier to withdraw.
