What is STAR?
A STAR Foundation retreat is a 10-day therapeutic workshop, carefully structured and designed to offer participants an opportunity for accelerated healing and personal growth. It is a unique, individually tailored process primarily done in a group setting, yet there are privacy options available for those who are not as comfortable in a group environment.
For more than 30 years, STAR has been helping individuals transform their lives. STAR graduates and referring therapists consider STAR to be the most unique, powerful, and personalized program of its kind. STAR stands alone among personal growth retreat workshops with its 1-to-2 staff-to-participant ratio. Our remarkably large, diverse, and experienced staff assures that each participant will receive an unparalleled level of personalized attention and support.
Participants come to STAR for a variety of reasons. Some come to STAR in a time of transition, while others come in a time of personal crisis. Many STAR participants have recognized that something essential is missing from their lives, and they seek to rediscover the purpose, meaning, or joy in their lives. They may feel stuck, repeating old patterns that are no longer useful. Many will come to work on relationship issues. STAR creates a safe space in which to deal with all of these issues and more: self-esteem issues, stress management, anger management, addictive and compulsive behaviors, grief, loss, crisis, or trauma. Everyone comes to STAR to do their own work, and no two participants will ever have the same experience at a STAR retreat.
Because of the very safe, supporting, and trusting environment which exists at every STAR retreat, participants find they can work as deeply as they desire in order to rediscover a life full of wholeness, authenticity, spontaneity, joy, and purpose.
