Restorative retreats for psychiatric nurse practitioners, prescribing clinicians, therapists, and counselors — for everyone who carries everyone else. Hours earned. Reserves refilled. Best practices brought home.
Trainings, precepting, consulting, and retreats are pillars of the same institute. The clinician who learns here, prescribes here, and consults here also restores here. One throughline, one set of credentials, one room of peers.
For bedside-rooted nurses crossing into psych — RNs, FNPs, PNPs, adult-gero NPs — and newly-credentialed PMHNPs in their first role. Nervous-system regulation paired with concrete credentialing, contract, and 90-day-plan work.
The decision retreat for therapists weighing the leap into prescribing. Held by a clinician who made the exact crossing. Leave with a decision, a vision, and a next-step map.
A high-desert restoration cohort for established PMHNPs considering their next ten years of work. Identity integration, creative practice direction, and the rest that makes both possible.
A mountain retreat focused on trauma-informed prescribing and the somatic literacy that makes good psychopharmacology better. Quiet woods, slow mornings, sharper Mondays.
Where medication management meets psychotherapy. A residential intensive for prescribing clinicians ready to integrate therapy skills into their med-management visits.
The inaugural international cohort. Nervous-system restoration, embodiment, and the deeper questions of vocation and meaning in clinical work. Limited seats, deep waitlist.
Two international cohorts open in 2027. Costa Rica leads the spring. A second destination follows in autumn. Both are designed around restoration, embodiment, and the deeper questions clinical work rarely makes space to ask.
The clinicians I train, precept, and consult with are the most overextended people I know. Continuing education should not deepen the burnout it is supposed to address. So the institute built the room where rest counts.
— Dr. Shay Baker, Founder
The room where the work is real and the rest is real. Both. Without apology.
