Creative Renewal: Kendall's Transformative Retreat Experience in Costa Rica

"It's been a long time since I have spent that much time really not focused on work." — Kendall Hagensen

In this refreshing episode, Kendall shares her enriching experience at Blue Spirit Costa Rica, where she participated in a "Relax and Write" retreat led by facilitator Maya Danziger. This intimate gathering of nine participants combined meditation and creative writing in a supportive environment that ultimately inspired Kendall to begin writing a book for those newly diagnosed with chronic illnesses.

The conversation explores the vulnerability of creative expression and the unexpected joy of connecting with fellow writers, including professionals in the field. Kendall opens up about overcoming initial intimidation to embrace the writing process, allowing her creativity to unfold organically rather than approaching the retreat with rigid expectations.

"It's been a long time since I have spent that much time just really focused on, or not focused on work," Kendall reflects, highlighting the transformative power of dedicated creative time.

Beyond personal growth, the episode offers valuable insights for wellness center leaders about the importance of creating systems that function optimally even in their absence. Kendall's experience demonstrates how intentional time away provides a crucial opportunity to identify gaps in business processes while allowing for personal renewal.

The hosts also discuss the unique energy of Blue Spirit, located in one of the world's "blue zones," and how the retreat center's business model offers inspiration for wellness practitioners. This conversation beautifully illustrates how personal wellness practices directly inform and enhance professional leadership in patient-centered care.
