The Women in Healthcare Meditation Retreat

March 5-9, 2025 at Miraval Spa in Tucson, AZ

Finally, a retreat designed JUST FOR YOU.

Leave your personal and professional stresses behind and join Dr. Jill Wener, nationally renowned specialist in physician wellness, on a meditation retreat designed specifically for women healthcare professionals.

Jill understands firsthand the challenges of working in healthcare and the strain of constantly making life-or-death decisions, and your every need will be attended to during your stay at the luxurious all-inclusive Miraval Spa just outside of Tucson, Arizona.

Your days will be spent learning meditation (the same course Jill teaches her private clients), eating delicious organic meals, getting rejuvenating spa treatments (spa credits are included in the retreat price), relaxing by the pool, hiking, taking yoga and other fitness classes (optional), and attending lectures on how to apply ancient, yet practical, Vedic knowledge to your life as a woman in healthcare. Oh, and you’ll also have the chance to earn Category 1 CME credit in the meantime!

Learn more about Jill’s Meditation course.

A message from a retreat attendee reads, "First meditation in the surgeon's lounge completed! I also didn't care how I was perceived sitting out there while people came in and out."

When: Wednesday, March 5 (arrive at spa by 4:30p) through Sunday, March 9 (departure after 12p)

Where: Miraval Spa, just outside of Tucson, Arizona

Who: You identify as woman healthcare professional (doctors, nurses, PAs, NPs, public health, pharmacists, therapists, and case managers). Don’t see your profession listed and want to join? We’d love to have you, so please contact Jill if you have questions.

To maximize safety for our whole group, we ask that everyone that attends the retreat has been fully vaccinated (including boosters) against COVID-19.

“This retreat was an awesome experience - great energy, support, and love through the group, with the ability to truly be vulnerable. It was cathartic to know that we all have similar issues. The meditation will improve my ability to enjoy my life and get rid of my box. I'm really feeling a rebirth.”

-Dr. Nina Dutta, Chair of Internal Medicine, Hartford Hospital

A message from a retreat attendee reads, "Just finished my afternoon meditation. I'm proof that it works at home!"

“This meditation practice will help me be less reactive, more present with my patients, and it will help me appreciate my job more. On a personal level, it will allow me to be more present with my family, have more patience with my daughter, and improve my mental and physical well-being. The Equine Therapy session was so eye-opening. Four days was a perfect amount of time. I was surprised at how emotional and vulnerable I allowed myself to be in front of people I don't know.”

-Dr. Kavita Shanker-Patel, Family Medicine (Chicago, IL)
