“This retreat served as a reminder that ways in which you were taught has had a negative impact on how you view your job & life. There are ways to view situations in positive and meaningful ways to positively impact yourself & others. To learn to bring love & play into your work life.” – Crystal Evey, MD

“This is so valuable. Forget the Zoom wellness events or free apps.
What we need as physicians is this.
A day AWAY from our usual place of work. To be outside, to be with others, to eat healthy food, and to enjoy and learn evidence-based recommendations for wellbeing and longevity. I did not realize how much I needed this.”
-Palliative Care, UCSF
