MVMA Wellbeing Retreat at Sebasco Harbor ResortRest, Rejuvenate, and ReflectOctober 2-4, 2022 5.5 RACE-approved CEUs Register here!
Join the MVMA for our second annual veterinarian wellbeing retreat! We will be at the beautiful Sebasco Harbor Resort, a family and pet friendly resort in Phippsburg. Attendees are encouraged to bring their partners and families. Dr. Heidi Hulon from Elanco will facilitate the event in a variety of workshops. In addition to workshops, there will be yoga, group meals, and opportunities to enjoy the resort. The resort offers activities, including golf, swimming, trails, and more activities to keep partners or kids occupied during the workshops. Workshops will be designed to engage members and create meaningful conversations around a variety of topics related to wellness, compassion fatigue, and resiliency. We hope that participants will leave feeling rejuvenated and also with tools that they can bring back to their clinics or hospitals to help navigate this challenging period.
