Transform Trauma & Re-connect With Your Self

Retreat-style intensives for individuals, small groups & corporations

Re-member your Wholeness with CRM® Intensives

Our healing intensives offer the power of CRM® with the depth and spaciousness of a retreat-style setting. In this immersive format, clients have the rare opportunity to step away from daily stressors and distractions, allowing for deep, uninterrupted focus on healing.

During intensive work, clients are guided to re-process, release and transmute their trauma using CRM®, while also weaving in other powerful resources, such as nature, equine partnership, aromatherapy and crystal healing. Many clients report accelerated breakthroughs, lasting emotional shifts, and a renewed connection to their authentic Selves.

CRM® intensives are designed for those ready to do meaningful, life-changing inner-work in a supportive setting that prioritizes safety and individualized care. This is not just therapy—it’s a deeply restorative journey toward wholeness.

Heal the Healer Intensives

This 5-day intensive is offered to a group of 5 therapists who have completed the Level 1 Foundations of CRM® Training. This work includes deep, thorough personal healing, as well as learning highly advanced CRM® techniques and conceptualizations for working with clients individually and in groups. While attendees can choose what to work on individually and as a group, there is often an organic theme that unfolds through advanced Core Self, gestational, generational and attachment/trauma healing during the sessions.

*The next Heal the Healer Intensive will tentatively be held Fall 2026 in Cape May. Sign up for our Newsletter to get notified when registration becomes available.

Private Intensives

These intensives are offered to individuals, couples or families, without any prerequisites. Typically, participants choose a 3-5 day format of 6 hours per day, which includes: neurobiologically-based psychoeducation on trauma and dissociation; deep and thorough personal work of the client’s/couple’s choice; thorough debrief and integration; skills to help transition back into daily life; and home-based practice that is custom-created to help operationalize and maintain the healing gains made from the intensive work.

*Private Intensives are available upon request.

The purpose of Corporate Intensives is to facilitate healthy group cohesion within management and/or leadership teams; identifying and working through individual and group obstacles to productivity; increasing morale and creating easily accessible individual and group resources to operationalize and maintain the gains made during the intensive.

*Corporate Intensives are available upon request.

  • “Eight strangers traveled from across the country to gather at Cape May to participate in the CRM Heal the Healer Intensive for a week with Lisa Schwarz. For seven days, we clinicians had the opportunity to live, breathe and embody CRM. From a learning and experiential perspective, we gained so many tools and had the opportunity to witness each other’s profound healing. We were able to develop our skills, ask questions, and observe Lisa’s mastery of CRM during demonstrations. Moreover, we were all able to experience deep healing of our trauma wounds. It was incredible to watch the anxious find calm, the quivering to become steady, the lost to be found, and the rigid to find peace. We all showed up with the intention of healing ourselves and holding space for each other, but we gained so much more than that. We found friendship, we found ourselves in a time and space when we could be held by so many amazing women that we were able to access our deepest wounds for our deepest healing.

    Cape May, vibrant and full of life, was the perfect place for this experience. During our down time, we sat at the ocean, walked the paths at the nearby state park, climbed the lighthouse and bicycled to town for coffee, shopping, and dinner. We as a group highly recommend this experience. It has supported each of us in our healing, in our practices and in our life.”

  • “It’s been nice to live in my nervous system this week. Tangible changes I’m noticing:

    1) more open and connected to people in general. I have had a vail of anxiety my whole life. People aren’t scary 😊

    2) able to stay separate from my kids and husbands emotions. No guilt or self doubt when setting limits. That feels really really good.

    3) much more sure about who I am and what I need to be happy and healthy. I have some changes to make but I had already been moving that way and am ready. Spirit has always cared for me. I just feel more in flow with it.

    Thank you all for your loving holding space, to Phil for his love filled food and to Lisa - your gifts to enable getting right to the core. I am so grateful.And one other major thing to mention. For at least the last 5 years that I’ve been embodied enough to notice, my hips would twitch and low back ache. I thought it was nerve damage- spent years with a doctor of osteopath to try to diagnose. Once I started with a CRM therapist, I couldn’t earth breath without like convulsing. It was freaking me out to be honest. I can earth breathe and my hips, low back are so relaxed and natural feeling. I was worried it was some temporary change - but it’s been a week. I can do yoga poses that before it felt like I could never get a full release. It’s just amazing. So grateful.”

  • “Lisa Schwarz’s Comprehensive Resource Model® Intensive must be experienced to be believed. I have attended over a dozen trauma related workshops and trainings over the past few years, searching out the best of the best. Lisa’s CRM® Intensive has surpassed them all. Not only is she a phenomenal trainer, she is also a gifted healer, an authentic person and has a remarkable depth and breath of knowledge. Look no further. It will be money well spent and an experience you will not forget.”

    -Holly Whall

  • “Beulah is a magical place and indeed magic happened at our intensive with Ron and Lisa. The learning space is beautiful, the surroundings truly amazing, and our teachers very knowledgeable and wise beyond belief. Truly masterful therapists. The CRM® model is comprehensive for trauma processing and now that I have learned it I feel like I can walk my clients through anything in a safe, effective and deeply loving way.”
