🌿 WHAT IS EMDR?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based approach that supports the mind and body’s natural ability to heal.

Each of us has an innate Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) system — an inner wisdom that helps us process experiences, learn, grow, and restore balance.

When difficult experiences become “stuck,” they may continue to influence how we feel, think, relate, and respond.

EMDR helps create the conditions for these experiences to be safely processed and integrated, allowing old emotional burdens, limiting beliefs, and unresolved patterns to transform.

During this retreat, EMDR becomes more than a method — it becomes a personal journey of healing, self-discovery, and reconnection with your authentic Being.

🌲 WHAT IS ECOTHERAPY / NATURE THERAPY?

Ecotherapy is the intentional practice of connecting with nature to support healing, emotional well-being, and personal growth.

Nature helps us slow down, reconnect with our senses, regulate our nervous system, and return to a deeper sense of presence and belonging.

The forests, mountains, lakes, and natural rhythms surrounding Lac-des-Plages become an active part of the healing process.

Together, EMDR and nature support:

🌿 grounding and regulation
🌿 resource building
🌿 emotional processing
🌿 symbolic transformation
🌿 integration and renewal

EMDR helps us heal what we have carried.
Nature helps us reconnect with who we truly are.
