EDIT™ Retreat

This Experiential Group Retreat of up to 20 participants is conducted by the creator of EDIT™ – “Dr. Dorie” McCubbrey, PhD, MSEd, LPC, LAC. TO enroll, you need to be EDIT™ II CERTIFIED (or higher). You’ll discover the 6th EDIT™ Principle, and you’ll experience how to LIVE and TEACH the first 5 EDIT™ Principles as your SOUL SELF.

Retreat registration is ALL-INCLUSIVE! Lodging, meals, training materials and access to retreat activities are included with your registration. Snow Mountain Ranch is just outside of Winter Park, Colorado and is about a 2-hour drive from Denver. Shuttle service is available (for an additional fee). Please review the sections below for additional features and benefits.

Please note that if you’re EDIT™ V CERTIFIED (or enrolled to be), participation in this retreat fulfills most of the requirements to be EDIT™ VI CERTIFIED, with the benefits of a group retreat experience amidst the Summer colors in the mountains of beautiful Colorado. LEVEL VI also includes 20 HOURS of SOUL SELF SESSIONS with Dr. Dorie, before, during and after the retreat.

The retreat is being conducted at Snow Mountain Ranch – a  facility of the YMCA of the Rockies. This is a Sacred Space for Dr. Dorie, and she is Grateful to share it with you.

Our group will be meeting in an 8-Bedroom Retreat Cabin, which features a large group meeting area with beautiful views of the Continental Divide. This rustic environment with shared living space is ideal for relaxed learning and relationship building.

Each bedroom has 2 Queen Beds and 1 Bath. Registration includes double-occupancy (private rooms at a lodge which is walking distance to our Retreat Cabin can be arranged for an extra fee).

Meals will be whole-food, plant-based, and gluten-free (fish, poultry or other animal protein sources can be provided upon request). Our Retreat Cabin  features a deluxe kitchen, where we’ll prepare lunches and dinners together (breakfast items will be provided for you to enjoy on your own). Food allergies and other specific food requests will be accommodated. You’ll be notified of the lunch and dinner meals in advance, so you can plan accordingly. You may store/prep your own meals or beverages as you wish.

SUNDAY, AUGUST 13, 2023 is the start of the EDIT™ Retreat, with CHECK-IN at our Retreat Cabin from 3-6pm. Self-serve snacks and a buffet dinner will be available as you arrive. 

SUNDAY EVENING 6-7pm is the WELCOME SESSION, and then the rest of the evening is open for you to connect with Dr. Dorie and other participants (or go to bed early)! 

EACH WEEKDAY DR. DORIE GUIDES YOU to experience each of the 5 EDIT™ Principles, from the perspective of the 6th EDIT™ PRINCIPLE, as your SOUL SELF. Sessions with Dr. Dorie will be held throughout the day, with breaks for your own SOUL SELF TIME.

FRIDAY EVENING at 6-7pm is the RETREAT CONCLUSION, and we’ll enjoy some Spiritual Rituals as a group together. For the rest of the evening, there is the opportunity for soulful conversations and connections. Staying overnight Friday is included in your registration.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 19 CHECK-OUT is at 9am. Join Dr. Dorie for coffee, tea, breakfast – and more soulful conversations and connections. Arrange your flights accordingly.

Together, we’ll cross the SOUL SELF HEALING BRIDGE™ – symbolically, and literally!  Dr. Dorie will guide you to explore the concepts of the false self, True Self, and SOUL SELF. Then, you’ll experience this process during an easy nature walk.

Dr. Dorie will guide you to experience the first five EDIT™ Principles as your SOUL SELF.

MONDAY, you’ll experience how to LOVE YOUR SELF from the Inside-Out, seeing with the EYES OF YOUR SOUL. You’ll review some of the EDIT™ WORKSHEETS with your NEW PERSPECTIVE.

TUESDAY, you’ll experience how to BE TRUE TO YOUR SELF as you think only the thoughts your SOUL would have you think. This is your INTUITIVE THERAPIST MIND, your HEALING WISDOM WITHIN, which you can access ALL THE TIME. You’ll also experience a shift from Intuitive Eating to INTENTIONAL EATING.

WEDNESDAY, you’ll experience how to EXPRESS YOUR SELF by FEELING DEEPLY as your SOUL SELF. Beyond human emotions into the “dark nights of the SOUL” and the “LIGHT amidst the darkness.”  We’ll use art-as-therapy and guided visualizations to explore the inner realms of your SOUL, embracing and integrating the WHOLENESS of Who You Really Are.

THURSDAY, you’ll experience how to GIVE TO YOUR SELF which inherently means GIVING TO OTHERS as your SOUL SELF. You’ll explore a variety of Spiritual Practices to enhance your connection with and expression as your SOUL SELF. You’ll feel INSPIRED from the Inside-Out, to LIVE as your SOUL SELF and to share the GIFTS which ONLY YOU can share, and to honor the CALLING of WHY YOU ARE HERE.

FRIDAY, you’ll experience how to BELIEVE IN YOUR SELF, your SOUL SELF, which means a full surrender of the false self, the “ego self,” and any unhelpful thoughts, behaviors, or habits. This also means going within, accessing the INFINITE WISDOM of your SOUL SELF, to create BELIEFS AND HABITS which SERVE YOU AND OTHERS.
