Healing and Resilience with Mindfulness will support you to:
- Recognize and interrupt stress and mood cycles instead of feeling controlled by stress, triggers or reactivity
- Develop your capacity for self compassion
- Actively engage in your healing and growth process
- Further integrate moment to moment awareness and kind attention into your day to day life.
A Note from Nichole
Healing and Resilience with Mindfulness brings together two of my passions- mindfulness and tending to mental health, both of which I have been practicing in some way or form over the last 18 years. I decided to bring these two passions together into a program because, in my private practice and in my life, I see how powerful even small bits of supported mindfulness practice are, and also that mindfulness alone as a path for healing can feel intimidating and even confusing. This program is my effort to bring together the gems of awareness practice and targeted one to one work gently and sustainably transform stress into the wisdom of lived experience.
Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is an internationally recognized, evidence-based course designed to guide and support participants in the ongoing process of cultivating moment to moment awareness in day to day life in an in-depth and systematic way. The curriculum is trauma informed and I stay up to date on research to teach the course in an evidence informed and trauma sensitive way.
For those who bring mindfulness into their professional work, this course can be an excellent way to continue on your mindfulness training journey.
Is this program for me?
Folks who will benefit:
*Professionals at risk for burnout or compassion fatigue (healthcare, corporate, civil service, education, law)
*Folks on a journey to reduce or eliminate anxiety, post trauma impact, or problematic anger
*Those struggling with stress levels, problems exacerbated by stress, or stressful life transition
*Anyone already creating a well lifestyle and wants to focus on the mindfulness aspect of the path, or adopt a non judgmental awareness through a life transition
This Full program is highly experiential, provides robust support, and is a community learning environment. We are learning from the inside out.
The LITE program is more flexible and focuses on home practices and email support with NO GROUP OR CLASS COMMITMENT.
Full and LITE programs both can include individual therapy sessions.
Healing and Resilience with Mindfulness combines the evidence based Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction curriculum with 2 follow up groups after completion of the 8 week course, email support in between classes, recordings of missed classes (for those in the Full program), and supportive course materials via the online class portal.
Individual therapy sessions with Nichole, including solution focused therapy, dialectical behavior therapy (CBT + mindfulness and acceptance) and/or EMDR can be included with your Healing and Resilience program. I also offer Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). Individual sessions can be scheduled before, during, and after the 12 week group program. And can be via telehealth or in person in Ridgway, CO.
Due to licensure laws, individual therapy appointments are only available to residents of CO and OH.
Full program
The weekly class is via Zoom and the Daylong class will have an option to meet in person in Ridgway, CO. There will be an online option for those who can't attend in person due to distance, illness, or preference.

Friday, May 10 - Sunday, May 12, 2024
This overnight retreat at the beautiful and peaceful Stone Forest in Cedaredge, CO is an opportunity to unwind and boost your well being with a combination of relaxation, guided mindfulness practice, time in nature, and two group ketamine sessions for those who are eligible and choose to participate.
Based on decades of safe use and research showing anti depressant and anti anxiety benefits, ketamine is used as a complement to psychotherapy or self help methods to help eligible patients experience more frequent breakthroughs and sustained improvement in symptoms. Many people describe feeling a "brain reset" after their ketamine experience.
- Are you aware that you need some down time to restore and reset?
- Are you a big-hearted person who works hard and wants to keep growing?
- Do you notice increasing moodiness or feeling like you need more time for yourself?
- Have you engaged in personal psychological, emotional, and/or spiritual work and want to utilize psychedelic experience on your journey?
If you answered "yes" to at least two of the above, consider joining us! Be deeply supported to come back to "the awareness that arises from paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, non judgmentally" (Jon Kabat-Zinn) by Nichole, the group, and the peaceful space at Stone Forest.
This retreat is for:
- Healthcare providers, therapists, social workers, case managers, and teachers who already practice mindfulness or meditation regularly and want to work with psychedelic medicine and integration.
- Stressed parents and caregivers with some personal experience with mindfulness practice (apps, read a book, guided meditations) and/or personal or group growth work
- People who have engaged their wellness journey over time, and would like to focus on the mindfulness aspect of their path and/or use a psychedelic medicine and integration as an additional tool.
A note from Nichole
I am excited to offer the Mind, Body, Heart Reset Retreat because I have benefited so much from taking time away from my usual roles and setting, to spend time in a peaceful environment, and be supported by teachers and a group to practice moment to moment awareness and tend to my own being. I also know from training and experience the power of psychedelic medicine to shift the system out of default mode for a bit and to prime the mind for awareness, self compassion, and insight.
The retreat is scheduled to fit into a weekend, and is conveniently located for folks who live in Grand Valley, North Fork Valley, Montrose and Ouray counties. With easy access to CO 550 and 2 regional airports within a 1 hour drive, it is also possible to make the retreat a part of your outdoor adventure on the western slope of Colorado. Public lands with opportunities for hiking, biking, climbing, and scenic drives can be founds in all four directions from our retreat space in Cedaredge, CO - the gateway to Grand Mesa National Forest.
During this short, but supported time you will begin to unwind and get a taste of the spaciousness and insight that comes with practicing being over doing.
What to Expect
The day(s) will be interspersed with guided mindfulness practice, mindful movement, time for quiet contemplation, opportunities for sharing experience, rest, and eating nutritious foods. The invitation is to show up just as you are. You will be supported to offer your heart, body, and mind tender attention and care. There are gentle walking paths and places to rest both indoors and outdoors during free times. Enjoy the steam room in the spa quality bathhouse!
Nichole will guide participants to open to, recognize, practice. and appreciate myriad ways to tend to our tired and aching hearts, bodies, and minds.
During the retreat, Nichole takes on the therapeutic and integration support aspects. Meet with a prescriber at Journey Clinical telehealth or with Chris at Ketamine West (IM session + sublingual Rx) prior to the retreat to get medical guidance for your prescription. This includes determining eligibility, developing a custom treatment plan, prescribing the medicine and monitoring outcomes.

Plan for medical assessment and treatment planning to be done at least 2 weeks before retreat dates. For more information about KAP, schedule a phone consultation with Nichole
