MARCH 2027, COSTA RICA: Wellbeing Retreat for Veterinary & Caregiving Professionals, with Dr. Sonja Olson
You care for everyone else.
Now make some space for you.
Join us on March 20-26, 2027
for a 6-night wellbeing retreat for veterinary & caregiving professionals in beautiful Costa Rica.
You give so much of yourself
It's time to fill your own cup.
- Long hours. Constant responsibility.
- Emotional weight you carry home.
- Compassion fatigue. Stress that lingers.
- The guilt of never feeling like it’s enough.
- Knowing you need self-care — but never quite finding the time.
Step away from the demands of everyday life and reconnect — with yourself, with nature, and with people who truly understand.
This is your invitation to...
Rest. Learn.
Reconnect.
- Rest deeply in a stunning mountain retreat
- Learn practical tools to reduce stress
- Move your body and nourish yourself
- Connect with like-minded professionals
- Return home refreshed, resilient and inspired
