Since the fall retreat is virtual this year, you can zoom in from any special place that feels supportive for you. Some physicians will be at home, while others may stay at a hotel or cottage. Feeling adventurous? Join us from your favorite fall glamping spot!
Plan ahead so that you are able to fully immerse yourself in the luxury of the day. Eliminate distractions. Turn off your phone. Delegate tasks and other responsibilities to someone else for the day. Prepare in advance what you need to be nurtured, fed, and well-rested. Dress comfortably. If possible, plan to get outside for some movement during break times. If it feels right for you, you may choose to carve out the entire weekend with some restorative activities before and after the retreat that also fill your cup.
Yes. The retreat is designed as a safe and nurturing space for physicians only.

All cancellations made for any reason after that date are nonrefundable. No exceptions or transfers can be made. The Institute for Physician Wellness, LLC reserves the right to cancel or postpone any event due to unforeseen circumstances. In the unlikely event that Kathy Stepien is unable to be available for the retreat (family emergency, acute illness, and similar), every attempt will be made to on-board a suitable substitute before rescheduling or canceling the event. In the unlikely event of a cancellation or postponement, The Institute for Physician Wellness, LLC will refund the registration fee minus the nonrefundable $100 processing fee, but is not responsible for any other related costs or charges to the participant.
IPW prioritizes accessibility for all. We’re thrilled to extend sponsored positions to women physicians (and those in training) who may otherwise miss out on this invaluable opportunity. Many women physicians ask how they can “pay it forward” to support other women in Medicine. If you are interested, you can add any amount to your registration fee to “pay it forward” to other women physicians. A deep bow of gratitude for your contribution. We all rise!
