Workshops

at Rio Retreat Center

Rio Retreat Center at The Meadows offers workshops that can bring healing and empowerment to individuals in various stages of their journey.

Transform Your Life

We have been offering workshops for more than three decades, and there’s something for everyone. Choose from options in three different categories: emotional trauma, relationships, or personal growth. Some people come to heighten their existing recovery or because they’ve hit a plateau. Others just want to make some changes or experience personal growth. We all have issues. For a lot of our participants, this is their very first time doing something emotionally therapeutic.

On-Campus Workshops With Stringent Safety Measures

As Rio Retreat Center continues its mission of helping people by offering in-person, on-site workshops, be assured that protecting both staff and visitors is a primary concern. As a result, we have stringent precautionary measures in place.

Our enhanced safety measures include:

A thorough screening process
COVID-19 antigen testing upon arrival
Daily temperature checks
Masks required
Social distancing observed
Antimicrobial cleaning
Single-occupancy rooms available. Double-occupancy, shared twin rooms available if both parties are fully vaccinated as a COVID-related safety measure.
Everyone remains on campus

Thank you for your part in helping us to create a safe setting in which to continue this important healing work, and we hope to see you soon!

How Workshops Work

If you are already on a healing journey or want to start down that path, our workshops provide an opportunity to take a deep dive into a topic. Our intensive five-day programs have been highly effective at jumpstarting the healing process or allowing someone already making progress to confront a stumbling block or obstacle that has kept them from continuing to move forward. Participants work on sensitive issues in a concentrated format, allowing them to enhance any recovery work they’ve already done, gaining insight into unhealthy patterns and practicing new relational skills within a safe environment. So much can be accomplished in a week, making workshops a great value in behavioral health.

One thing that sets our workshops apart is that our facilitators are dedicated to workshops. That’s all they do. They not only have specializations in the specific workshop that they are facilitating, but they also specialize in doing it workshop-style, meaning in a five-day intensive format. For our staff, this is their passion — and it shows.
