Do you find yourself still "holding space" long after your last session ends?
In the world of mental health and wellness, the relationships we tend are professional, yet deeply personal. We often carry the emotional residue of our clients' stories into our cars, our homes, and our personal relationships. It is easy for the "practitioner hat" to become a permanent fixture, making it difficult to remember where the work ends and the human begins.
In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, Avi Fox (Business Strategist & Reiki Practitioner) and Emily Pettengill (LCPC/LMHC) invite you to an afternoon dedicated to the person behind the professional. We have designed this space for those who support others—therapists, nutritionists, OTs, and wellness practitioners—to unburden, reflect, and reclaim their personal identities.
The Gathering: Join us at East Pine Plant Shop for a 90-minute mini-retreat designed to help you move from "doing" to "being" through:
A Grounding Visualization: We will lead you through a guided inventory of the emotional energy you are currently harboring. We’ll identify where your boundaries are strong and where they have become porous, exploring the challenges and strengths of the connections you sustain.
Reflective Journaling: Identifying what you want to "leave at the door" and the human identity you want to consciously nourish…and how.
Peer Connection: Small group processing to share tactics and find communal validation with others who understand the unique mental load of this work.
A Release Ceremony: A closing ritual to symbolically shed the professional weight and integrate a renewed sense of self to carry back into your personal life.
Details:
Led by:
Avi Fox (Avi Fox Creative): A business consultant, website designer, and Reiki practitioner dedicated to helping wellness business owners launch, grow, and thrive. Founder of Wellness Business Owners.
Emily Pettengill, LCPC / LMHC (Emily Hope Counseling): Bringing clinical depth and a heart for the practitioner’s journey.
Where: East Pine Plant Shop, 213 Roosevelt Trail, Windham, ME.
When: Thursday, May 21, 2026 | 3:00 PM – 4:30 PM, option to stay until 5:00 for more time to connect, chat, and enjoy tea in the greenhouse
Cost: $45 (Includes herbal tea, use of meditation cushions, blankets, etc.).
NOTE: If you’d like to invite a friend, please send them the listing to register themselves rather than adding a second ticket here. Thanks! :)
