Waikoloa, Hawaii
(Self-Mastery LIVE In-Person Program)
💜 Go deeper into the development of yourself - 💜 Deeper into understanding the body and your own activation patterns - 💜 Deeper into the mind -💜 Deeper into integrating your perceptions and working on emotional charges that are in the way of fully becoming an external regulator 💜
💖 "The retreat was a beautiful invitation to be held and grow in community as I explored a deeper understanding and appreciation within myself." - Kim Buller
During your journey to become a Certified Synergetic Play Therapist/Play Provider you studied nervous system regulation, authenticity and congruency, interoception, emotional age, and so much more to help you become more masterful at becoming an external regulator for a child and their caregivers. You also learned how to apply these concepts to yourself for your own growth and development in order to heal yourself and develop your capacity for self-regulation. And now it is time to take the next step towards self mastery!
This advanced retreat is not your typical program — it's a unique personal development experience designed to support you in your ongoing personal journey and deepen your understanding of yourself. Think of it as a deeper unraveling of the question "who am I?"
You'll spend 4 days live in-person with your fellow Certified SPTers delving deeper into yourself. That’s right! These 4 days are just for you - not for your clients, but for you (... although we do know that any work we do for ourselves inevitably helps our clients).
Get ready for an enriching experience! Join us for this year's Advanced Self Mastery program at the stunning Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort & Spa, Waikoloa, Hawaii.
For 4 days, and in between all of the hugs, conversations, regulation and “togetherness,” you'll be taken on a journey into the mind and the body in order to gain a deeper appreciation for the inter-connectedness between the two. We'll flow between didactic teachings and experiential learnings as we head down the rabbit hole so that you can further empower yourself and reclaim the parts of yourself that have been minimized, hurt, stuck and stunted by trauma and life’s challenges. You'll also walk away with a deeper understanding of what Lisa means when she says, “self mastery requires regulation of the body and regulation of the mind.”

Here are just a few of the topics we'll delve into during our time together:
- Learn how the nervous system, brain, and amygdala develop from in utero to post-birth, giving you a profound appreciation for this magnificent part of your body/creation.
- Continue to explore your own nervous system and its patterns.
- Explore perception and unraveling the mysteries of why the brain perceives what it does.
- Go deeper into an understanding of the 4 perceived threats/challenges to the brain.
- Gain greater understanding of what authenticity really means.
- Enhance your understanding of your own interoceptive sense and discover ways to develop it further.
- Deepen your understanding of relationship patterns and dynamics.
- And much more!
Plus, on day 3, get ready for an inspiring 9-hour session where we'll dive deep into personal work using the groundbreaking Demartini Method. You will be facilitated through a powerful exploration of parts of your own narrative and unlock the potential to integrate and heal some of the charges holding you back and weighing you down - This experience alone promises to provide insights and transformations that far exceed the value of the entire program.
