Pack your suitcase with beach & yoga - attire in place of that indoor conference-wear for our Kalani Beachside Eco-retreat Center on the Big Island of Hawaii for 5 days and nights with Carolyn Costin, M.A., M.Ed., M.F.T., Anita Johnston, Ph.D., and Francie White, M.S.R.D. – for an unforgettable mind-body-soul experience. 3 workshops in one!

Forget those hotel conference crowds, hard chairs, and power points…. For… In-depth, life-changing, and intellectually fascinating teachings with 3 of the top eating disorder experts in the country… in your flip flops!

Begin the day with daily meditations, beautiful music, and chants from all over the world, …and our beloved “soul-movement – dance”, an experience participants always rate as one of the peak aspects of these retreats!

Enjoy island time all afternoon - either an outdoor adventure, or hang out in the wireless café, or lounge at the pool and enjoy the full range of massages available!….

Replace hotel restaurant meals with 3 freshly prepared organic, whole food meals all included, featuring a variety of delicious ethnic cuisines in an outdoor lanai where the sounds of tropical birds, exotic fragrances, and light breezes remind you that stress is over a thousand miles away …

Watch the sun and moon rise over the ocean, go on daily beach trips, hiking, snorkeling, with optional tag on trip to the remote beach where dolphins love to swim in their natural habitat with us… nature willing!

Topics

Anita & Francie

Use of metaphor & mythology, in understanding how the unconscious communicates through symptoms – a depth perspective of negative body image & a fresh look at what heals it…embodiment. Learn and participate in a fresh approach to treating negative body image through use OF the BODY & ITS RELATIONSHIP to the EARTH…

Carolyn

Will take us through 2 structured sections on increasing your ability to get straight to the issue/s that underlie most eating disorders –1. how we attach to and relate to others, including sexuality and attachment and- 2. how our patients get their needs met in the world. Use her efficient, “cut to the chase” techniques for time-limited therapies with handouts and demonstration sessions applicable to therapists, RDs and related treatment team professionals.

Carolyn, Anita, & Francie

The Physics of Consciousness – Enjoy profound teachings about the new mind-brain science that opens new paradigms in understanding the power of human consciousness in co-creating transformative leaps in individual and planetary evolution.

Francie & Carolyn

By request – Will teach & participate with you to learn the Karpman Triangle Model for eating disorders– a model that playfully yet swiftly identifies those of our patients that are attached to the role of being the “sick one”, known as the “victim” on the triangle. Prevent your own burn-out as these patients “suck the life” out of the groups they are in and the treatment team as well. Use our version of the Triangle Model in family or couples therapy, in the patient’s response to food plans using the “self-test” in our handouts, to help patients take personal responsibility for their recovery process!

Anita

Will be teaching about the ancient Feminine Principle, and how to bring to consciousness the underlying expression this Feminine Principle uses in rebellion to current cultural views (feminism, the masculinized female, and where sexual liberation is backfiring). Through her powerful understanding of archetypal psychology, you will enjoy the hidden role archetypes play in the drama of projection, through her storytelling and teaching.

Joyful Movement

Will be creating unbelievable experiences of EMBODIMENT, bringing the cognitive workshop into our Physical Beings and deeper Self, providing a container for deep connectedness to our inner Beloved, our psyche and one another….

Ritual & Ceremony

Deepening our experience through ritual reminds us of the simple powers of nature and a “remembering” of what gives meaning to transformation.
