Thriving, hope, and meaning, within the context of illness, have been the common thread woven throughout Susan Bauer-Wu's professional and personal life.

This is exemplified in her touching and inspiring presentations, her transformational resilience retreats, as well as her solid research and scholarship. Her vision, knowledge, and wisdom— of how to thrive amidst the challenges of illness and our busy, high stress/high tech world— touch the core of many.

Retreat

  • "Calm, Clarity, and Compassion in the Storm of Healthcare and Illness", Upaya Zen Center, Santa Fe, NM (May 3-5, 2013)

Through mindfulness and compassion practices, reflective writing, silence, gentle yoga, and intimate dialogue, this weekend retreat will be an opportunity for self exploration and discovery and calming the agitated mind, not changing anything except waking up to your own inner wisdom, opening your heart, and re-connecting with yourself, your loved ones, your vocation, and to nature so vibrant in the Santa Fe hills.
