Deepening our Roots: Nurturing the Soul and Growing in Connection meets April 24 to 26, 2025 at the Maritime Conference Center in Linthicum, Maryland. This retreat invites therapists, chaplains, clergy, spiritual directors, educators, and other practitioners who feel drawn toward reflective and integrative work. The gathering affirms a wide range of #spiritual expression, including those rooted in a single tradition, those who weave multiple pathways, and those still exploring language that feels authentic. It is a setting where clarity, curiosity, questions, and quiet openness are all welcome.

The retreat is designed around reflective dialogue, experiential practices, embodied exploration, and meaningful community connection. We will explore deepening inner awareness, strengthening relational roots, honoring cultural and #spiritual diversity, practicing embodied presence, fostering professional sustainability, engaging in shared learning and reflection, and growing together in a sense of belonging.

Our schedule runs Friday from 4 pm to Sunday at 12 pm. All meals from Friday dinner through Sunday lunch are included, along with materials and continuing education certificates. A discounted lodging block is available on site. While up to 10 units of continuing education are available, participants don't have to come to every session and it's ok to take space and rest. Maritime Conference Center provides free parking, a complimentary shuttle, complimentary WiFi, a fitness center, walking and jogging trails, and a 100 percent smoke free campus where pets are welcome.

This program offers up to 10.0 hours of continuing education with approvals through NBCC, ASWB, and the New York State Education Department's State Board for Mental Health Practitioners. Questions or accommodation needs may be sent to Latasha Matthews at [email protected].

Do you know that weird tension before a breakthrough?

When you suddenly feel tired, distracted, avoidant…

You clean the whole house instead of writing that post (if you are a content creator of a sort, like me).

You forget the thing that lit you up just yesterday.

You convince yourself it’s not time yet. That you need to wait. Rest. Learn more. Be better.

That’s resistance.

Because you’re close to something real - not because you're on the wrong path.

You're close to an edge that actually means something.


Your nervous system is not used to this new version of you yet.

The bold one.
The visible one.
The honest one.

The one who says, “I want this,” and lets that be enough.

Radical self honesty means seeing the resistance and still choosing to move... authentically in your truth... what's underneath all the resistance.

That’s what we practise together inside Worthy & Rising.

Come sit with us at the edge.

The magic’s already in motion.

I used to think I had to be ready before I could move.

That I needed to be confident, clear, consistent, certain.

But none of that ever came.

Not in the way I thought it would.

What came instead, were tiny moments of resonance.

A gut pull. A soul whisper..

Even when my brain said, “But… we don’t know what we’re doing yet.”

I moved anyway.

And I didn’t do it perfectly.

But I did it honestly... again and again

And now, looking back, my whole nervous system just sighed.

Because DUUUUDE - I’ve come a long way.

I stopped trying to force myself into alignment, and started choosing spaces, people, and practices that felt like me.

These are the shifts I teach.

The kind you live into, not tick off a list.

And they’re exactly what we hold inside Feel Good Rebel Academy - where you don’t have to feel ready.

You just have to be willing to listen.

And trust yourself when the answer is yes.
