With Lawrence Cheng, MD, CCFP(EM), MPH and Devon Christie, MD, CCFP, RTC

August 5 - 10, 2022

Program is fully booked

Embody your well-being potential! Join us on this four day immersive retreat to learn, explore and experience true health and healing, from a cellular to whole-being level. Dr. Lawrence Cheng and Dr. Devon Christie expertly guide you through their unique and holistic synthesis of functional and mind-body medicine, and share practices to help you discover and connect with your own innate body intelligence and wisdom.

This program is for anyone – whether you are working with a specific health condition, or you are looking to optimize your health in general. You will come away with clarity on your personal path for lasting health and happiness.

During this retreat you will:

  • Learn how food, exercise, sleep, and connections to self and others profoundly affect our biochemistry, health and well-being, and how to balance this by listening to your own body.
  • Experience a deeper self-connection through daily mindful yoga classes, gong bath, meditation, breath-work, sound therapy and nourishing food as a platform for healing and growth.
  • Explore what factors drive your choices each moment – from socio-cultural ‘norms’ to wounds and traumas from the past, and what you can do about it to live and heal in the present.
  • Learn about the latest science on prevention and the root causes of illness (functional medicine), the importance of mind-body medicine and how to integrate different modalities of healing (integrative medicine).
  • Learn about the latest evidence for optimal health and performance with detailed recommendations for nutrition, vitamins, supplements, exercise, sleep and mind-body practices.
  • Learn about the latest science on harnessing altered states of consciousness for healing.
  • Create your own personalized optimal health wellness plan.
  • Explore radical self-acceptance, recognizing your innate radiant essence that is already whole.
