Whole-Hearted Retreat for Mid-Career Interpreters
Â
May 19-25, 2026
Prescott, Arizona
4.0 CEUs (pending for RID and BEI)
Youâve spent years interpreting for others.
Now it's time to listen inward.
Youâve been walking this path for a while now. The skills are there. The experience is there. And stillâsomething in you is asking for more space, more alignment, more truth.
This weeklong retreat is a chance to pause and listen. Space is limited to 40 participants to allow for deep connection and focussed attention.
Through guided reflection, gentle structure, creative practice, and deep rest, youâll explore the core domains of your lifeâemotional, relational, financial, physical, and spiritual. Youâll reconnect with whatâs working, acknowledge whatâs changed, and begin to imagine whatâs next.
This is not a retreat for fixing yourself. Itâs a space for remembering who you are, what you care about, and how you want to move forward from here.
Come home to your own compass. Come gather with others who understand the complexity of interpreting work and life. Come find your next true step.
At the retreat, you will experience:
-
Daily reflection and gentle group coaching
-
Creative practices like journaling, mapping, collage
-
Focussed continuing education with real-life application
-
Spaciousness for play, rest, and reflection in nature
-
A community of colleagues who âget itâ
-
Time to design your next chapter

Come join us for a Whole-Hearted reset at Camp Chapel Rock. Join colleagues and friends to explore big questions about emotional regulation, professional resilience, tending your physical needs, managing an unpredictable income stream, habits for spiritual renewal, and creating a life you don't want to escape.

Camp Chapel Rock
Prescott, Arizona
Located about 2 hours north of Phoenix, Arizona, Chapel Rock Camp and Conference Center is open year round and situated on 20 acres of wooded land in Prescott, Arizona. Tall Ponderosa pine trees, oaks, elms and beautiful outcroppings of rocks fill the rolling landscape. A professional cooking staff operates the main kitchen and dining hall year round. Retreat participants will stay in hotel-style rooms with a double-bed and single-bed and private bathrooms.Â

Chapel Rock stands on the unceded land of the Yavapai people.
Acknowledging the Yavapai and other indigenous people as original stewards of this land, we give thanks for our ancestors, our elders, and for all indigenous peoples who are present with us today.

đ Statement of Inclusivity
At Wayfinding: Honoring Whatâs True, Choosing Whatâs Next, we believe your full self is welcome here.
We honor and embrace people of all sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions, races, ethnicities, body sizes, abilities, faiths, and lived experiences. We recognize that interpreters come from many pathsâand that who we are deeply shapes how we move through the world and through this work.
This retreat is intentionally designed to be a space of belonging and dignity. We affirm LGBTQ+ participants, people of color, neurodivergent folks, people in larger bodies, and anyone whoâs ever wondered if they would be fully seen in professional or reflective spaces.
We are committed to ongoing learning, cultural humility, and creating a retreat container rooted in care, consent, and connection.
If you have access needs, cultural considerations, or questions about how this space might support you, we welcome your voice and invite you to reach out.
Statement on the use of English
This retreat will be conducted primarily in spoken English.
As most participants are hearing interpreters who use English as their first or primary language, weâve chosen spoken English as the main language for group discussion, reflective practices, and shared content. We know that many interpreters find it meaningful and clarifying to do this kind of deep inner work in the language they feel most naturally expressive and connected in.
We welcome the use of ASL in smaller moments or as a supplementary language where it arises naturally, and we are glad to support the use of spoken Spanish in informal or paired settings as desired by those who may have facility in both English and Spanish.
This language choice is not intended to exclude Deaf interpreters or community members. Rather, it reflects our focus on creating a specific kind of reflective space for hearing interpreters and their unique experiences in the field.
If a Deaf interpreter is interested in accessing this retreat content in a form that honors their lived experience, we warmly invite you to reach out. We would be glad to explore alternative pathways or resources that center Deaf perspectives and offer this material in a meaningful way.
