Join us for the MOOXLI Fall 2024 retreat and go from being swept along by your life to living in the present where you have a clear path forward and you are confident about the choices you will make to get there.
Before we ask you to commit, let’s make sure you understand who this retreat is for:
You are a smart and successful individual! Ask anyone and they’ll say how decisive and wise you are. Yet, you say yes to so many things when you need to say no to support your beautiful heart. You’ve reached the milestone of getting your degree and are now having this,”Now what?” moment. You aren’t sure how it is all going to play out and you want to be in the driver’s seat from now on. Let’s step into the power of choice together and learn how to say no , all while trusting what is best for us in daily life.
01
You want to be brave in big decisions for yourself
02
You want to have clarity around the choices you have every day to live into your purpose in life
03
You want the way you feel inside to match what those around you already see on the outside
04
You want to understand research-proven approaches to giving up personal and professional emotional exhaustion for living an empowered life
05
You are a nurse and want to learn how the power of your choices can directly address the deep compassion fatigue that you are experiencing
06
You want to learn how Yoga can become part of the way you support yourself as a person and a professional
You should join us if you want to move from living a life that feels swept along by impulses to one grounded in understanding and nourishing yourself at the deepest level of your being. Let’s introduce you to who is guiding on this journey

​
Sarah is an expert in understanding and living the power of choice to foster a resilient and value driven life. She faced one of the biggest choices of her life when deployed in Iraq, when she had to choose between her pistol or her yoga mat.

Sara Bergakker
“Clinically qualified, but not emotionally equipped,” describes MOOXLI founder Sarah Bergakker, experience starting as an LPN in the emergency department at the age of 19. This theme continued as Sarah completed her bachelor’s in nursing and began work as an ER Trauma nurse, and then became a nurse anesthetist. After almost 20 years in healthcare, Sarah realized that she didn’t know what she was going to do differently but that her practices of perfectionism, numbing, and detaching from her emotional and physical self needed to change. ​Sarah started this work to discover if there was a way for her to continue to work in healthcare and find joy in her work. She is so thankful to have returned to the original passion of her calling in healthcare. ​Sarah will be sharing how self compassion and boundaries can effectively change our habits, change our lives, and ultimately support our own resilience.
