Immersive Experiences
MULTI-DAY EXPERIENTIAL WORK BEYOND THE OFFICE
Some things can't be reached in an hour. Not because the therapy isn't working, but because the work needs more than a weekly session allows. More time. More depth. A different kind of container.
Immersive experiences are multi-day group experiences that take you out of your daily life and into a setting designed specifically to support deep work. They're not retreats in the wellness-weekend sense. They're not intensives, which are concentrated individual or couples therapy. They're something distinct: deep experiential group work held over several days, in a place chosen because the place itself matters, with enough time and space for something real to happen.
Hearten House offers two immersive experiences. One is open to any adult seeking deep experiential work in a natural setting. The other is designed specifically for behavioral health professionals. Both are facilitated by licensed clinicians. Both use experiential and psychodrama-informed methods within a trauma-informed clinical frame.
Some work needs days, not hours. A different place. And the space to let what opens, land.
Southern Utah Immersive Group Experience
April 24–27, 2026 · Southern Utah
Four days in the red rock desert. Clinical group work in the mornings. Time to walk, breathe, and be in the landscape in the afternoons. Tent camping under the desert sky. A circle around a fire in the evenings.
This immersive group experience is open to adult who are ready for something more than weekly therapy offers. You don't need outdoor experience. You don't need to know anyone. You just need to be willing to show up and do the work in a place that holds it differently than an office can.
Space is intentionally limited.
You Are The Lantern
September 17–21, 2026 · Santa Fe, New Mexico
Five days in Santa Fe for the people who hold others steady. Deep experiential group work. Time to walk old streets and sit in the kind of beauty that slows something down. A private room waiting at the end of each day.
You Are The Lantern is a professional immersive experience designed specifically for behavioral health professionals. Not a conference. Not a wellness retreat. Experiential work, facilitated by people who know this field from the inside, with space to put yourself, not your participants, at the center of your attention.
An optional CE training is included at no additional cost for clinicians seeking continuing education hours.
Not Sure Which Is Right for You?
The Southern Utah experience is open to any adult, after a clinical intake. You Are The Lantern is designed specifically for people working in behavioral health. If you're not sure which is the right fit, or if you have questions about either offering, reach out and we'll help you pick a direction.
