WHAT IS THE WAM RETREAT?
The We Are The Medicine Retreat is an immersive experience where men and women come together to remember who they are at their core, release what no longer serves them, and open their hearts to a fuller expression of life.
This retreat is for those who are ready to:
- Release repressed emotions and dissolve old patterns that keep them stuck.
- Reconnect with their inner child and rediscover joy, play, and freedom.
- Heal wounds of the heart, body, and spirit through powerful somatic and experiential practices.
- Reclaim their voice, their boundaries, and their authentic power.
- Stop avoiding and running from their pain (creating more pain) and ready to face it with courage.
- Connect with a supportive community of people walking the same path of transformation.
The processes and modalities used in this retreat are some of the deepest and most transformative ones available.Â

Register Here!YOU Are the Medicine
This retreat is not about adding more to who you are. It’s about peeling back the layers of who you are not (survival mechanisms) and returning to the wholeness of who you already are underneath the masks, performance, and suppression.
Here, you are guided home to yourself, held in the presence of community, and reminded that the medicine you’ve been seeking has always been inside.

ABOUT THE FACILITATORS

STEVIE BURKE
Stevie A. Burke has spent decades transforming pain into purpose. A survivor of child sexual abuse, abandonment, and the long-term health consequences of the 9/11 attacks, Stevie has lived experience has become more than a personal journey; it is a profound source of wisdom.
Diagnosed with PTSD, asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis, and other World Trade Center and trauma-related conditions, he made a conscious choice not to let trauma define his future.
Instead, he chose to heal and to lead. Today, Stevie is a trauma-informed researcher, certified NLP master practitioner, spiritual life coach, and mental health advocate.
His work bridges emotional healing, addiction recovery, grief support, somatic practices, and spiritual integration.
His research includes Understanding Practical Emotions: Bridging Affect and Action, along with other academic contributions.
Among the tools he offers are two impactful workbooks: The Healing Journey: A Grief Workbook, designed for those navigating loss and emotional pain with compassion and structure, and The Emotional Timelining Journal: A Gateway to Healing, a guided self-inquiry resource to help individuals map emotional patterns and access deeper clarity.

DR. LIZ BURKHOLDER
Liz's mission is to teach others how to heal themselves, as she has been able to do. Liz has healed and overcome childhood trauma (e.g., sexual abuse, father abandonment) and the ensuing mental and emotional health issues. Through her own hardship and healing, she found her life's purpose.
She works with brave hearts who have the courage to dive deep within themselves to release the “baggage” that is weighing them down and to rise into their authentic selves.Â
She also train healers (clinicians and coaches) in Go Within Hypno-Breathwork, which helps healers to take not only their clients into the deepest layers for healing and awakening, but themselves as well.
