My first response to the retreat was, this touchy feely kinda stuff is outside of my comfort zone and I doubt it would benefit me…but, I must say, hands down I regained power.

When I signed up for Regina’s retreat, I didn’t know what to expect but was hoping to return with a greater sense of control and clarity. What a pleasant surprise to have revealed deeper issues that needed to be addressed first. The results and process were equally amazing.

Regina and I had recently been working on some fear and loss of power issues with my clients when she mentioned her retreat on Restoring Power. I thought it sounded great, but I wavered because it has always been one-on-one with Regina, and I wondered how I was going to get what I needed sharing her with other strangers. In spite of the doubts, I attended and was so happy I did so. The experience was cathartic. Being with, feeling with, listening with and feeling the energy and support of Regina and the other women was amazing! Needless to say, during some one-on-one time with Regina early on, which she gives to all as needed, she got right to the source of my power drain – not my clients, rather, the relationship with my aging parents who now live with me full time and who I resented. I felt trapped and to make matters worse guilty for feeling as I did because taking care of one’s parents is what nice Latin women do. While painful to confront, this shifted my energy and work entirely during the rest of the retreat and I had a tremendous breakthrough in the relationship my mom and dad – where I once held anger and resentment, I now honestly hold freedom, ease, compassion and love. And best of all, I feel free and unbound to truly live my life with them and apart from them. The icing on the cake is the breathtaking setting and the amazing, delicious healthy food. It’s such a purifying experience. I have just three words for anyone considering – just do it!

The Restoring Power seminar opened up an issue in my life that I had been holding quietly and not so nicely. In Restoring Power, I got to see it, name it, give it life. I got it out of me and got relief, perspective, understanding, power even. Course over, I thought I was done. But that opening started me moving in ways I could never have dreamed up. In weeks and months that followed, my life around that topic utterly changed. I am calmer, stronger, more powerful, and–can I say?–full of humor and love about what once had me spitting nails.

What Others Are Saying

I wasn’t sure what to expect during the Restoring Power seminar, but I was amazed at Regina’s ability to gracefully lead each of us into looking at where we had lost our power. By the end, each one of us had experienced some major insight or breakthrough about how to get our power back. For my own experience, I recognized why and when I had lost some of my power related to my career, remembered what it felt like in the past when I had experienced being strong and confident, recognized the amazing support I have around me, and renewed my energy and commitment to be my most powerful self. And we had fun and laughs too!
– Jillian Taylor, The Illuminary Group

Before the workshop, I was aware of the concept of a “dark side” and even aware that I had one. But during the course, guided by Regina’s integrity and compassion, people were incredibly courageous in revealing the really dark stuff. There was pain, and tears, but there was also acceptance and even self-forgiveness. I was deeply inspired. I thought to myself, if these brave people can own up to their darkest stuff and then find a way to accept and even forgive themselves, maybe I can too.
– Kerry McClenahan, McClenahan Bruer Communications

The Restoring Power retreat was a chance to focus on my career and give myself a break from work. I had reservations about discussing personal fears and issues so I decided to focus on my career. I am amazed at the depth of work “around my shadow self” that showed up, mostly in the personal space. I found the work to be emotionally deep, insightful and fun. Two months later, I am still benefiting from the experience. With the approach Regina created in addition to the safe environment, you are bound to move toward the goal you are trying to achieve. It is my pleasure to provide a very strong recommendation for anyone considering this workshop.

*Money a bit tight right now? You can save on your lodging if you’d like to sleep outdoors under the stars or in a rustic pony barn. Ask me about this.

A close friend invited me to attend the Restoring Power Retreat with her. The website looked interesting and resonated with much of what I was feeling. However, it had a distinctly “therapy” based feel that concerned me. I was a worried that the retreat had the potential to be a real nightmare situation run by a facilitator that would have little regard for personal boundaries or comfort zone. I was pleasantly surprised to be wrong.

Regina is what makes the program take flight. She creates a caring and supportive environment in which each individual is allowed to determine the level or depth with which they wish to share or simply listen. Regina challenged some of my basic assumptions and patterns of behavior, but in a manner that was supportive and non-threatening. The retreat has had a definite positive impact on getting me back on track.
