The National Association for Weight Loss Surgery (NAWLS) and Katie Jay, MSW, presents:
Grow Your Inner Happiness!
How to create a healthier, happier, and more
authentic life after bariatric surgery.
Oct. 29 - Nov. 1, 2015
Highlands, NC, at a mountain-top retreat center!
At Katie's retreat, you will:
- Focus on yourself and your needs, while spending time with other WLS
- women
- Discover how to overcome weight regain
- Explore rituals that can help you move through emotions, rather than
- being trapped by them
- Learn about the latest science behind obesity and why we gain weight
- Enjoy the time away to be with yourself and reflect on your life
- through art, movement, and feelings identification - in a safe setting that
- honors your boundaries
- Enjoy rest, relaxation, meditation, and laughter!
"I wasn't sure I would be comfortable in a group of strangers, but I didn't
feel that way once I walked in the door. WOW. We had so much in common and I
now know I am not alone on my WLS journey. And Katie shared excellent
information and made the whole thing interesting and fun. She has some
amazing insights and is so profoundly inspirational, because she has walked
the walk and has overcome many of her own struggles..."
