Mini Retreat

We are thrilled to announce that we will be back together in person!

Please join us for community, connection, and storytelling through expressive art about our diverse clinical experiences. 

Are you looking to connect with people who understand your unique experiences in healthcare?

Have you been seeking a space to engage in art & reflection?

We can’t wait to meet you! Come join us!

Sunday, May 5th

Silverlake, Los Angeles (Malaika Latty’s Art Studio)

9:30 AM- 12:30 PM

  • Eligible for 3 CME/ CEU through CMEfy - Consider checking if your institution can offer scholarships for you to attend

  • Brunch Included

  • Connect with other women in healthcare

  • 3 hours of Expressive Art practice- opportunity to share clinical stories, reflect on career, address trauma through artistic modalities including collage, expressive writing, and storytelling

  • Open to all front line staff : RNs, CNAs, MDs, OTs, SLPs, Chaplains, LCSWs, and more.

    We believe in the power of creating safe spaces for reflection and introspection of our whirlwind experience as women in healthcare.

    We rarely have moments on the job to pause and process what actually happens day to day because so much happens in any given day

    We wanted to create an opportunity to let those stories that we have been carrying around, the ones we know about and those we don’t, have a space to come out.

    We turn to artistic modalities because sometimes we don’t have the words to access what has transpired. We are so excited that guest facilitator Emma Uebele, Trauma Competency Consultant and Expressive Arts Practitioner will be leading our creative space!

    We are taking what we have learned from our full day in person retreats in Bay Area and bringing it in a shortened format to Los Angeles. We look forward to seeing you there!

 Learn more about the retreat

  • This retreat is for any women in healthcare who care for patients and/or work in the healthcare system (whether in the clinic, hospital, private practice, community, etc!) AND who care deeply about creating space to tend to their own well-being.

    To ensure this retreat is a safe and inclusive space, we ask all attendees to review our inclusivity commitments and safe space values prior to joining. If you have any commitments you’d like us to add, please let us know!

  • This retreat will be an opportunity to pause and breathe together. Our morning will be filled with opportunities to connect with each other and engage in expressive art practices

  • This retreat will NOT be focused on productivity and “doing”. Instead, we will be spending time enjoying and appreciate our own and each other’s presence. However we show up is welcome in this space.

  • Yes! Participants who attend the retreat will be eligible to participate in 3 reflection activities through CMEfy which will offer 3 CME credits.

  • Creating a safe space for us to rest with each other is very important to us. We will continue to adapt these protocols pending the current infection/surge rates locally and nationally.

  • The retreat is from 9:30-12:30 PM. The location is at Malaika Latty’s Art Studio in Silverlake!

  • We strongly believe in compensating people for their time and expertise. We chose this pricing model to ensure we adequately compensate all of those who have helped us develop this event as well as build sustainability into our programming.

    We chose a tiered model to allow participants to pay whatever feels most comfortable to them within their budgetary constraints.

    We do not want price to be a limiting factor for anyone and are happy to work with anyone further who is interested in attending. We offer Sponsorship admission to subsidize the trainee fee as well as make funds available for those excluded by financial constraints. We are thankful to each attendee who co-creates an equitable community together through sponsorship.

  • You are absolutely right. Your time is precious and we want to make sure this retreat is a good fit for you! At Introspective Spaces, we truly believe in the healing power of rest and community. Gathering in person is a gift and a privilege - to do so with other healthcare workers is even more so. Our deepest wish for this gathering is for everyone who attends to feel truly welcome, loved, and seen and to feel a sense of belonging and connection. If this is what you are looking for, we hope to see you there!
