Healing & the Upper Circle  ~ A Healing Retreat for Osteopaths 

January 8-12, 2027
Mount Carmel Spiritual Centre in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada
Course Instructor: Stephen Kisiel, DO
Course Coordinator: Edward Schroeder, DOMP

Through lecture, discussion, contemplation, and hands-on osteopathic treatment we will explore various landscapes of healing to build deeper relationships with the presence of the Creative and Healing forces of the Tide in ourselves and, through treatment, within our patients. There will be a focus on both our individual and collective healing as a means toward nurturing a more deeply bonded community.

Topics may include:
The Upper Circle
The Sacred space within
Eros
Love
Merger

Held at the Mount Carmel Spiritual Centre in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada, participants will enjoy a private room with private bathroom, all meals and snacks, and use of the spiritual centre’s facilities and wooded grounds, including the beautiful main chapel which is the Canadian Shrine of St. Thérèse of Lisieux.

This retreat is offered at an intermediate to advanced level and is geared toward experienced osteopaths who have completed at least Biodynamics of Osteopathy Phases I-VII and/or Treatment of Children I-III. Exceptions may be made on an individual basis.

The retreat will begin with supper together at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, January 8, 2027, and will conclude with lunch together at noon on Tuesday, January 12, 2027.
