Expats Navigating Inner Growth

Have you been in therapy for months or years, and still feel like you're circling the same issue? You're not doing it wrong. The 50-minute session is a useful format, but it wasn't designed for everything.

In this interactive hour, we'll explore what weekly therapy does well, where it tends to fall short, and why some people find faster, deeper change through therapy intensives: focused, multi-day work with a trained therapist.
We'll also look at why a feel-good retreat often fades within weeks.

Expect gentle reflection, small group conversation, and simple practices you can take home. No sharing required, and no experience with therapy needed. Come empty-handed; you'll leave with a journal handout and applied neurology practice.

This is an educational, reflective event, not a therapy session.

Watching an important day unfold at home from thousands of miles away can bring a particular kind of restlessness. This gentle gathering offers a quiet pause: guided grounding practices, a peaceful visualization, and the company of fellow Americans living abroad.

No experience with meditation is required. You are welcome whatever your politics, and there will be no political discussion.

This is simply time to breathe, settle your nervous system, and connect with others who understand life between two places. Applied neurology and meditation practices will be offered for free.

Hosted by Daniella Marchick, a counselor specializing in expat adjustment. This is a community wellness event and not therapy or counseling.
