For many of us, the life we’re living was shaped by who we needed to become to survive. Approval, achievement, control, perfection, these identities once protected us, but over time, they became the very source of our suffering. In this retreat at the Art of Living Retreat Center in Boone, NC, Dr. Brad Reedy and Emma Reedy June guide you toward gently uncovering the authentic self that existed before shame, before performance, before you learned to seek love by abandoning yourself.
Over five days, through attachment-based psychoeducation, mindful reflection, and small-group work, you’ll explore your life by finding meaning and direction within your own story. As awareness deepens, what once felt like pathology becomes understandable, and what once felt like failure becomes a doorway to integration. You leave not fixed, but reconnected with greater tenderness toward yourself and clearer awareness of how to show up in love, parenting, partnership, and purpose.
