Join others who are on the pathway to
creating a Solution in their lives for three days of
community, training and personal vibrancy.
The Solution National Retreat offers a unique experience. For three days, you’ll separate from your daily life’s demands and settle into the warmth of The Solution Community. For three days you’ll practice using your skills with the support of Solution Trainers, Solution Providers, Solution Providers-in-Training, Solution Mentors and graduates, Institute staff and other participants moving along on the pathway. These three days have been carefully and lovingly planned to give you a feel for Life Above the Line. You’ll have your special Solution Group and choice of workshops as well as optional activities. Be generous with yourself, join us in March—we welcome you with open hearts and a joyful spirit.
This year, our retreat will again be in spectacular Tiburon, California, right on San Francisco Bay and overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge. Our retreat conference center, the Lodge at Tiburon, is in picturesque Tiburon with shops, restaurants, Bay walks, sailboat sightings and fabulous views.
These three days will be restoring, a lifestyle that eases stress and enhances vibrancy, in keeping with The 3-Day Solution Plan (Ballantine, 2005). The elements of the plan from Solution Skills to Sanctuary Time are all built right into the rhythm of your day.
There are plenty of talks, groups and workshops. You will have the opportunity to meet new Solution Buddies, take time to restore, move your body, and feel the joy, vibrancy and spiritual meaning of being with others who are on the pathway. The training experiences – Solution Groups and Pathway Intensives and Workshops – are important opportunities to do extraordinary work and gain significant insights. During these three days, you will:
Share support and community with others who are on the pathway.
Experience a Solution Group with a new community.
Enhance your skills through our Pathway Intensives and Workshops.
Develop more Solution Buddies to connect with after the retreat.
Move toward having a Solution in your life or strengthen your Solution.
Honor your body with exercise, delicious, healthy food, and time to restore.
Have a wonderful and joyful time!
The Solution Method continues to evolve. We feel very happy to introduce new intensive workshops in three areas, all focused on new understandings of the importance of creating surges of pleasure in our reward pathways from natural pleasures –– and JOY! We’ll have a new intensive for couples and another to trigger weight loss with more powerful techniques. Special for those in the last inch of the climb –– or for program graduates –– another new intensive on separating from emotional external solutions and hardwiring ourselves for JOY!
When others in your community of family, friends and co-workers begin to acquire these skills, too, it’s easier to gain support and create a Solution. We encourage you to bring family members, friends and/or co-workers to this retreat. When you bring someone who registers for the retreat and who is new to the method, we will be happy to extend to both of you a 10% registration fee discount.
The Town of Tiburon
|
Unlike many small towns around the San Francisco Bay, Tiburon has managed to save, restore, and make accessible many of its historic buildings, some of which date back nearly a century to when Tiburon was a busy terminus for the San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad (later the Northwestern Pacific Railroad). The tracks are gone now, replaced by condos, roads, and a bike path along Richardson Bay, but traces of the turn-of-the-century town - restored historic buildings and elegant Victorian mansions - still shape the character of the downtown area. |

Guaymas is not just a Mexican restaurant; it's an authentic south of the border cuisine experience. The menu, inspired by the traditional Mexican foods of celebration, focuses on authentic Mexican regional cuisine, duplicating the flavors of the small coastal fishing village for which it is named. The seafood featured includes grilled giant shrimp and several daily fresh fish selections. Also featured are grilled meats and fowl, classic traditional Mexican favorites, house-made tortillas and tamales, fresh salsas and guacamole, and many other regional dishes not typically seen on this side of the border.

The beautifully restored Christopher B. Smith Rafael Film Center in downtown San Rafael, California is a great asset to the San Francisco Bay Area and the global film community. The Rafael opened in 1918 and prided itself on "showing movies of merit and musical selections." To this day it still remains one of the leading independant theaters in Northern California and still prides itself on it's award winning independant films.
