Spiritual Retreat Offering

The Kelley Institute of Integrative Therapy offers a short (2 hour) presentation at churches.  Since Kathryn offers meditation and commentary during regular church services, she would appreciate the opportunity to offer the meditation during the main Sunday service.

Our experience will be centered in learning something new, helpful, perhaps even life-changing about moving through and beyond wounds of the spirit.  Each of us can carry around energies that limit our effectiveness, our joyfulness, our ability to offer our gifts and talents to our World in a meaningful way.  We will discuss and more importantly EXPERIENCE brand new ways of applying carefully studied and scientifically proven psychotherapeutic techniques that are blended with ancient, time-proven ways of understanding the workings of our bodies, minds, spirits and emotions. This blend – this integration – results in a remarkable set of tools to help get more real peace of mind, more joy, more of what we want out of life.

Who is Kathryn Kelley, the founder of the Kelley Institute? 

• She is a nationally certified counselor, in private practice in Helena, Montana
• who is also certified in EMDR (the most scientifically studied therapy technique available today)
• In addition she is a certified spiritual director with the Benedictine Order, which has been doing spiritual direction for 1,500 years.
• Kathryn is a certified Blue Belt Nia instructor, integrating body/mind/spirit in movement.
• And Kathryn teaches the protocol she has developed for this new application to other health care professionals.

It is our goal to creating real, positive, and lasting results for those wishing to move beyond their stuck places, unhealthy thoughts and troubling emotions without expensive and time consuming one-on-one psychotherapy or psychotropic drugs.  This is not a “silver bullet” but a tool to use in moving forward in joy.

Kathryn will give you more information about, and a sample of the experience contained in, what are revolutionary new life-aids. She’s taken the proven principles of EMDR, combined them with wonderfully relaxing guided meditations, and incorporated the language of the chakra energy system of the body to help heal unhealthy habits.

This has resulted in the first three finished programs in a series we’re calling, “Healing the Habits of the Mind.” This series, so far, consists of three separate audio programs – one for dealing with creating healthy behavior towards food, another dealing with problem levels of anxiety, and one dealing with enhancing self-esteem.  These audio CD’s will be available for purchase but only after the presentation for interested parties
