Podcasts about retreats

Our lives as caregivers require WAY more help than we are willing to ask for, so what stops us? The intention for this episode is encouragement and maybe a nudge toward self-reflection as to WHY ON EARTH we of all people wouldn't be able to ask for the help that we so badly need. On this episode, host Jessica Patay, talks to Cheryl Ryan Chan, who does workshops on The Lost Skill of Asking for Help, among other caregiver focused topics. They discuss why asking for help can feel so difficult and explore many practical ways you can start intentionally allowing in the help you deserve, today.Cheryl Ryan Chan is a public speaker, trainer, community organizer, person-centered practitioner, facilitator, change agent, positive agitator, and rum drinker.

We're on the edge of a cliff and the way out is through - through the obfuscations and extractive values and downright lies of predatory capitalism.  Through to authenticity, and integrity and finding language for how we can be who we really are, what our souls yearn to be.  And that language is not always English. This week's guest, Diarmuid Lyng, speaks Irish - one of the older, indigenous languages of these islands. Listening to him is a genuinely fabulous experience in the truest sense of the word in that it lifts us to the place of myth and fable where our oldest stories are held, and we can reconnect with the bones of who we are so that we can carry our knowing forward into who we could yet be: who we will have to be, I'd say, if we're going to make it through the current pinch point; and who we will love being.Diarmuid is co-owner of Wild Irish Retreats and Nature of Man. He is a former Wexford hurling captain and a host on the Irish Newstalk's flagship sports programme 'Off the Ball'. With Wild Irish Retreats he is part of a team that is focused on the rejuvenation of the Irish language in relation to nature reconnection. With Nature of Man he runs retreats and online programmes with men that creates a space for them to do their own internal spiritual work. He also takes teams/groups of all kinds to the woods for overnight camps that focus on connection; to self, teammate and place. In all of this, Diarmuid is uncovering in people a previously hidden energy source that benefits the individual, the society and the web of life - and he does it with such authenticity, integrity and a really humble sense of what it is to be human in the world at this moment, that I found this whole conversation a genuinely magical exeperience. I hope you do too.

What if the desire to become a parent is strong, but the partner hasn't shown up?In this episode, I'm talking with Viveka, a school psychologist who has spent her career supporting kids and families—and who's now navigating her own path to solo motherhood.Viveka started out as a preschool special education teacher, is certified as a yoga instructor and nature therapy guide, and brings a deeply grounded, global perspective to everything she does. She's biracial, trilingual, a former Indian classical dancer, and one of those people who's just naturally good with children. When Viveka found herself single in her late thirties and experiencing dating burnout, she decided it was time to freeze her eggs. But once she took a step into this world, she realized that she could be that woman who decides to pursue solo motherhood.Now over a year into her process of becoming a single mother by choice, Viveka shares what it's looked like to shift her priorities, explore known donor conception through Seed Scout, and start the process of trying to conceive—without waiting for a partner.This conversation is about so much more than logistics. It's about identity, intuition, culture, and what happens when you finally give yourself permission to want what you want.In this episode about choosing solo parenthood, we talk about:The early stages of becoming a solo mom by choice;Experiencing dating burnout;Choosing solo motherhood when you find yourself single in your 30s or 40s;Cultural considerations and family conversations;Using Seed Scout to find a known sperm donor;Navigating fertility clinics, timing, and IUI with a known donor;Balancing career, future dreams, and the realities of single parenting;And more.Connect with Viveka on instagram: Solo Mama To Be (@soloparentonpurpose)

Pepper is back after suspiciously missing the first day back from holidays. He's all alone while his family is over seas and he's not handling it well. The first review of our brand new coffee from High Horse. Dylan and Robbie think Pepper's daughter is up to controversial things in Costa Rica. Is Spruce Grove near or far? Did you know the citizens of Spruce Grove are called this? We finally get an update on Dylan's dead uncle's missing ashes.

The additional taxes US President Trump intended to impose on US consumers from Wednesday will now be delayed until 1 August. That means that, allowing for some stockpiling ahead of Christmas, consumers may not experience the inflation spike from these taxes until January next year—assuming that Trump does not retreat again.

In this episode, Kim and I reflect on our journey as entrepreneurs, partners, and parents over the last 12 years. We talk about how our definitions of success have evolved—what used to mean hustle, chaos, and achievement now means peace, impact, and alignment. When we met in 2003, I had already left teaching to pursue entrepreneurship, while Kim was thriving in a team environment and didn't yet see herself as an entrepreneur. Over time, we grew into business together, but we've also taken our own unique paths.Kim shares how success for her now means leading herself well, raising kind and capable kids, choosing peace over pressure, and building a legacy through service. I agree that success starts in the home—with our family, our values, and our ability to live with intention. We've built a life where our kids still want to be around us, and that means everything.This conversation really dives into how we consciously create our reality by staying rooted in values, evolving with purpose, and regularly asking ourselves: What does success feel like today? What did it feel like ten years ago? What will it look like ten years from now? This episode is all about defining success on your own terms.Thank you for listening!J&KYou can watch the full video version here: https://youtu.be/IWkC5R3Mb48---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Website: www.fitzlife.caSIGN UP FOR WORKSHOPS, RETREATS, AND APPLY TO WORK WITH KIM & JAMIE: bit.ly/WorkWithKimFitzpatrickSHOP OUR CLEAN AND NON-TOXIC WELLNESS SITE:

In this week's episode, Kim and I reflected deeply on parenting teens, being vulnerable, and how that has shaped our relationship with our son, Colby. We opened up about how a moment of empathy from him after football practice reminded me he's growing into a thoughtful young man. I shared how telling him about my struggles after my cardiac arrest shifted something big in our relationship and it created trust and connection. We're not parenting experts, just parents learning in real time. One big takeaway: vulnerability matters. We also talked about the idea that we only get 3–5 “home runs” with our kids, moments that truly shape them. The rest? Imperfect, messy, but filled with love. And that's OK. What matters is showing up real and honest. I'm proud of how we've handled both the public and private sides of our life, and I'm especially proud of the dad I'm becoming; human, present, imperfect, and always learning.Thanks for for listening to this episode, it was a deep one.K&JYou can watch the full video version here: https://youtu.be/6bC3pKWBOP8---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Website: www.fitzlife.caSIGN UP FOR WORKSHOPS, RETREATS, AND APPLY TO WORK WITH KIM & JAMIE: bit.ly/WorkWithKimFitzpatrickSHOP OUR CLEAN AND NON-TOXIC WELLNESS SITE:

You've probably heard the phrase, “It takes a village”, but what does that actually look like when you're choosing to become a mom on your own?Today's guest is the perfect example of why becoming a single mother by choice doesn't mean you have to raise your child alone. You'll hear exactly what it can look like to build a deeply supportive village, both before and after becoming a solo mom.In this episode, I'm joined by Sige, a psychotherapist and solo mother by choice who brings a wealth of wisdom from both her personal and professional life. Sige shares how a low AMH diagnosis and a breakup led her to pursue solo motherhood through IUI, and how she beat the odds by conceiving on her first try. But it's her unique approach to communal living and her commitment to building intentional support systems that truly make her story stand out. Together, we talk about what it takes to raise a child without a partner, not by doing it all alone, but by choosing interdependence, community, and creativity. In this episode on building a strong support system before and during solo motherhood, we discuss:How a low ovarian reserve shifted Sige's timeline and led her to IUI;The emotional pivot from partnership to solo parenting;What it's like to conceive on your first IUI attempt, despite low fertility markers;The practical and emotional benefits of communal living;Navigating dating and boundaries as a solo mom;How to create a village of support when raising a child alone;Introducing donor conception and donor siblings to your child;Reclaiming creativity and rediscovering yourself after early motherhood;And so much more.Connect with Sige WeismanYou can learn more about Sige's therapy work on her website.Connect with her artwork on Instagram, @sigeweisman.art or at www.sigeweisman.com.Resources mentioned in this episode:Book: How to Conceive Naturally: And Have a Healthy Pregnancy after 30

Have you ever wondered how to pull off a team retreat that's actually fun, productive, and builds real connection? After years of trial and error, I've finally found a rhythm that works. In this episode, I break down exactly how we designed our recent team retreat in Mexico City, what made it a success, and some of the biggest mistakes I've made in the past (think: go-karts and back injuries). Listen in as I walk through our retreat schedule—from soaking in cliffside hot springs and taking a taco tour to having deep team conversations about AI and productivity. I talk about why your primary focus should not be productivity (even if that's tough as a founder), why food tours are criminally underrated, and how one cocktail mixing class turned into the most memorable night of the trip. I'll also share how I prep both myself and the team before the retreat, who I think should get an invite, and why renting an Airbnb beats hotel conference rooms every time.

Speaking through the decades, from the 1960s to the 2010s, Ram Dass shares his thoughts on Satsang, the community of seekers who come together in the pursuit of truth. This episode of Here and Now is a compilation of Ram Dass discussing community and Satsang across the decades. We begin in 1969, with Ram Dass exploring the power of the spiritual community, Satsang, as a protective and nurturing presence for those on the path. He shares how Satsang serves as a reference group without a physical form. “The universe that is Satsang,” he says, “is an inner universe, not an outer universe.”We move on to 1975, with Ram Dass reflecting on how the cultural despair of the 60s led people to band together out of a sense of spiritual need or purpose. He reflects on how these “spiritual reference groups” exist over time and space in all directions. “One begins to recognize members of one's group quite independent of geography and quite independent of time.” The next stop is 1986, with Ram Dass noting a growing maturity in the spiritual seekers he gathers with on his lecture tours. He discusses the various paths that bring people together in community and how we reassure each other through our presence for one another. “By reflecting back and forth between our hearts,” he says, “we strengthen our connection.”We fast forward to 1994, with Ram Dass discussing how the spiritual community is a mutual space for growth. He cautions that unless we meet in the deeper place of our beings together, the acts we do with one another will involve violence and exacerbate suffering. “Our art form is to cultivate this space and recognize that we are meeting in it, and share the essence of space behind the form.” Finally, we end in 2017, with a conversation between Ram Dass, Raghu Markus, and Rameshwar Das about how the deeply familial nature of Satsang is rooted in love and truth. They share stories about Ram Dass' guru brother, KK Sah, and the early days of Satsang in the West.The Ram Dass community gathers regularly to engage in meaningful discussions about the podcast.

Hotel | www.reunionhotelandwellness.com Retreats | www.reunionexperience.org“It's just us humans together in the shelter of each other. This is what Satsang, or Sangha, is. This is it. This is the community of beings who are acknowledging that dual intention: You work on yourself as an offering to others, you work on others as a way of working on yourself. Circle's complete. And everything is part of that circle. All of it.” – Ram DassSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
