Fifteen Reasons to Attend a STAR Retreat:

1. The level of stress in your life has become so great that you need to realign your priorities and learn new methods of coping.

2. You're burned out in your personal or professional life; life has lost its meaning, and you need to be reinvigorated.

3. You've been in conventional “talk” therapy for a long time, and you want to give a jump start to finding your solutions with your personal therapist.

4. You are stuck in old behaviors that you know are destructive, but you can't seem to get a handle on how to change them.

5. You want to know who you really are.

6. You’re at a crossroads and need direction with what to do next in your life.

7. You want a new, better way of living and loving in the world.

8. You want to improve the quality of your relationships.

9. You’re experiencing a psychological, spiritual, or relationship crisis, and you need to deal with the crisis and learn new coping skills.

10. You want to find and connect (or reconnect) with your spiritual center or higher power.

11. You're depressed and have had suicidal thoughts or other thoughts of self-harm.

12. You experienced early trauma such as incest or abuse, and you want a non-intuitional intensive setting in which to heal your pain.

13. You don’t like the life you have, but you don’t know what changes to make to find your happiness and fulfillment.

14. You want a greater sense of personal meaning and spiritual purpose.

15. You want to reawaken creative expression in your life.
