What can I expect?
This weekend retreat takes place in the lovely community-oriented Arts District of Hyattsville, MD. You will engage in a total of 10 hours of EMDR work to address personal areas of focus over the course of two days with others, including preparation, processing, and integration. You will also meet with members of your cohort for an additional two hours over Zoom pre and post retreat for purposes of intention-setting and follow-up.
Why two half days?
EMDR focused work can be a powerful experience that requires a significant amount of energy and focus. After day one, you will want time to rest before diving back in on day two. The 12pm start time is intentionally designed to allow for rest after a busy work week as well as rest after your initial processing and integration sessions. Even if you are an early riser, taking time for yourself both weekend days before arriving to the retreat will be imperative in reaping the benefits of bilateral processing.
