A 1.5-hour restorative reset designed for caregivers who don’t usually get (or take) real quiet time for themselves. Massage for the Mind is a small-group, somatic, massage-like experience led by Jennifer Smith, LCPC, designed for caregivers who carry a lot—and are quietly longing for support. (This is not a therapeutic group and there is no physical touch).
You’ll be led through:
Two short meditations (simple, guided, and optional to keep your eyes open)
A longer body-based practice focused on sensation, safety, and settling
A gentle “return” after meditation using an everyday experience, so presence doesn’t stop when the retreat ends
The vibe
Show up as you are—tired, busy, guarded, tender, distracted—and you’ll be met with steady support to help you let down your guard and come back to yourself.. You don’t have to be “good at relaxation”
If you’ve ever felt frustrated by instructions like “just be in the moment,” with no further guidance on what that looks like, this retreat is for you. We’ll make space for the real-life fact that your mind will wander—then offer gentle, practical ways to return to sensation and steadiness without judgment.
What to expect
Comfortable seating options (chairs, floor space)
Eyes-closed is welcome, and eyes-open is always okay
A retreat structure that prioritizes receiving over “learning”
Brief sensation awareness introduction suitable for everyday practice—so you leave with something you can use again
Who it’s for
Therapists/Social Workers/Nurses/Hospice Workers/Parents/Elder-Caregivers. If one of the primary hats you wear is a Helper Hat, THIS MINI-RETREAT IS FOR YOU!
Bring with you
Just yourself. Wear something comfortable. If you have a favorite blanket and/or yoga mat, bring them. If you need to stretch, adjust, or step out briefly, you’re welcome to do so.
The details:
December 18, 2026 6:30-8:00pm
2000 N. 19th Place, Boise, ID 83702
Group size: 8 to maximize calm
Cost: $50 per person
Come rest as you are—your nervous system doesn’t need to solve any problems here.
