Relationships as Spiritual Practice Retreat

Dr. Yvette Erasmus, PsyD

Imagine how beautiful life could be when each of our relationships, including the challenging ones, are experienced as gifts to be embraced.

This capacity lies within each of us.

Give yourself the opportunity to explore and nurture your capacity for clear, empowered, compassionate action in your relationships by joining me this summer at the tranquil Christine Center in Willard, Wisconsin.

Over the course of this weekend retreat, I’ll walk you through a number of experiences and exercises designed to reveal how the relationships in our lives are opportunities for spiritual growth, focusing especially on learning what it takes to love without losing ourselves.

Let me help you connect to your most deeply loving and liberated self, so that you can have meaningful, authentic and enriching relationships in your life. 

Join us for a deep dive into:

  • What “spiritual practice” means to you
  • Loving up our “bad” parts
  • Stepping out of power struggles 
  • Relationship mirrors and projections 
  • How boundaries increase self-trust and deeper connection

We are here on this planet to love – ourselves, others, and the world.

Come spend some time with me in beautiful, serene, rural Wisconsin and explore the possibility of transforming yourself by seeing your relationships as opportunities for profound spiritual practice and transformation.

This live retreat builds upon and extends the content and material covered in my online course, Relationships as Spiritual Practice. All registered students will get instant access to that online course to complete as preparation for the live intensive.

Testimonials

“There is no one I know who is as extraordinary at working with people to have them get in touch with themselves and others in such a powerful, effective manner. Yvette is a Black Belt in personal relationships and communication. There is no one I’ve ever seen anywhere who can consistently and patiently deal with people’s wide range of challenges and provide such caring, heartfelt, wise and effective ways of addressing each of them. She is a gift to our world.”

“Yvette has that rare combination of a bright and quick intellect along with an expansive heart with which she compassionately brings nonviolent and relational skill sets alive for those who have the privilege of learning from her. Through stories, teachings and interactive engagement our group was able to deeply connect with the vitality of personal growth practices and then apply them to our lives afterward. I have personally grown more accepting and open-minded by applying these principles.”
