Restoring Clarity and Purpose in a Frenzied World
Weekend Retreat JANUARY 8-10, 2027 at The Art of Living Center in Boone, NC
Wake up to your life — it belongs to you
A phone-free, clinically informed weekend retreat led by licensed psychotherapist Claire Dennis, designed to cut through distraction and restore clarity, agency, and self-trust.
rediscover your direction
Ever feel like you aren't living your life's purpose?
Like you're too busy, too stressed, too distracted to even hear yourself think?
Ever think there's another life path for you but feel trapped in your current one?
Constant demands, noise, and chaos have a way of pulling us away from our own clarity.
Over the course of a weekend retreat led by licensed psychotherapist Claire Dennis, you’ll explore both your innate inner wisdom and the unconscious patterns that keep you stuck. Set within an all-inclusive resort in the Blue Ridge Mountains, this retreat offers a rare, distraction-free space away from constant obligations, digital noise, and the onslaught of life — so you can reconnect with what actually matters to you. Through evidence-based experiential therapeutic exercises (using activities and visuals that go beyond talking), thought-provoking prompts, and carefully facilitated group conversations, Claire guides you toward greater clarity, self-trust, and a sense that you are in the driver’s seat of your life.
Arrive feeling overwhelmed by the noise and demands of everyday life.
Leave with clarity, direction, and the confidence to act on what you already know inside.
Let’s explore what that looks like, together.
what to expect
Over the course of three days, Claire uses clinically informed prompts and experiential therapeutic methods to help you uncover what’s been missing—your needs, your direction, and your sense of agency. Experiential work goes beyond talking and our conscious knowledge (knowing better!) through visuals and activities to excelerate and deepen your insight. Through visual work and dynamic therapeutic tools, you’ll access insights that strengthen your connection to your inner wisdom and create lasting change. Facilitated group conversations support integration, helping you clarify who you are and how to carry this clarity forward.
*Please note that participants will be strongly encouraged to ceremonially turn off access to their cell phones together so that each person may be fully present to themselves during the retreat. Cell phones are a complicated and powerful tool that can often serve as an impediment to our self discovery. A landline will be available for emergencies.*
