Wild Dolphin Retreat: Journey to
the Self September 2027
A 5-Day Immersive CE Retreat for Therapists and Healers
All-Inclusive, Wild Dolphin Retreat for Therapists, Healers, & Helping Professionals:
Journey to the Self, 15 CEs, September 19-25, 2027 Bimini, Bahamas
Journey to the Self is a five-day Bimini retreat for therapists and healers, weaving 15 CEs, heart-opening, animal-led dolphin encounters, gentle yoga, sound healing, expressive arts, rest, and reflection. Using the Koshas-in-Environment Model™, explore nervous system literacy, interoception, attunement, boundaries, and sustainable, neurodiversity-affirming care. Honor your needs with choice-forward participation and space to integrate.
15 CEs That Help You Heal, and Then Some
These sessions do three things at once- support your own nervous system, give you concrete tools to use with your clients, and help you build an neurodiversity-affirming practice that sustains you instead of draining you- including ways to grow beyond the 1:1 model.
While this week is geared towards learning from a clinical lens, it's also an opportunity to experience the practices for yourself. For many, this can be personally and professionally transformative. This is NOT therapy, it is experiential learning. And you will leave with skills you can use immediately in your daily life.
Continuing Education - CEs:
ASWB: ACE statement: Wanderhome Retreats, 2794, is approved as an ACE provider to offer social work continuing education by the Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) Approved Continuing Education (ACE) program.

Social workers completing this course receive 15 clinical continuing education credits.
In order to receive CEs you must sign in and out of each in-person session and complete the CE evaluation/s within 1 week in order to receive your CEs.
Target Audience:
Target Audience: This retreat is designed for therapists, social workers, licensed professional counselors, licensed marriage and family therapists, psychologists, and other behavioral health professionals. It also welcomes healthcare and healing professionals, including physicians, nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, yoga therapists, art therapists, dance and movement therapists, energy workers, and other practitioners supporting wellbeing.
Adults joining for personal development are also welcome, though an understanding of mental health is expected. The program offers a deep, choice-forward exploration of mental health, nervous system literacy, yoga therapy, Reiki, creativity, animal-assisted therapy concepts, and ancestral and spiritual practices. Wild-dolphin encounters are animal-led and are not presented as animal-assisted therapy. Water participation is always optional.

I) Our recommended way of travel
Tropic Ocean Airways is our recommended way to travel to and from Bimini, from Fort Lauderdale. You will fly with a seaplane to Bimini and arrive at the North Bimini terminal just 5 minutes away from the WildQuest retreat centre – all very easy and a lot of fun! They offer WildQuest clients a 20% discount off the base fare for travel on their flights Monday morning to Bimini and Saturday morning back to Fort Lauderdale. With all taxes and fees, this makes the total round-trip price just less than $600 (taxes and fees are subject to change).
To book your flight, go to the Tropic Ocean Airways Website, put in your dates for the Monday and the Saturday flight, use the promo code WILDQUEST , make the payment, and you are set!
Once your flight is booked, all you have to do is arrange your own travel to our partner hotel, the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina, on the Sunday before your retreat.
Early Monday morning, there will be a van to pick you up from the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina Hotel to take you to the Sheltair facility at the Fort Lauderdale airport, costing approximately $20 per person.
II) You may also arrange your own travel and meet us in Bimini Monday morning.
If you would like to arrive in Bimini early or stay late, and want to stay at the retreat center, reach out and we can connect you with the retreat-center team about separate lodging.
*If sea plane is not for you, you can take the ferry!
I can't wait to have this once-in-a-lifetime experience, together!
