Embrace and heal the past, restore healthy patterns in your life, create space to be your authentic self, and discover joy.
Living life as an emotionally healthy adult requires commitment, supportive relationships, and taking responsibility for your behaviors. The Green Shoe Retreat fosters safe vulnerability and accountability to guide you to accept your humanity, understanding you are perfectly imperfect. Let us join you as you embark on your journey towards authenticity.
We support a fundamental concept:
Respect and compassion for all human beings.
The Green Shoe Mission is to improve and impact individual lives and communities through mental and behavioral health awareness, education, support programs, and resources. We promote personal, relational, and community healing and growth, by creating a sense of belonging to self and others. In doing so, we have partnered up with phenomenal local organizations to bring awareness to the importance of mental and behavioral health. From education, support programs, and thoughtful resources our goal is to provide helpful avenues and encouragement no matter where you are in your healing journey.
Community Impact
Green Shoe Retreat
Childhood relational trauma created from dysfunctional family systems impacts the current relationships we experience today. We continue patterns of unhealthy relationships unconsciously until we bring mindful awareness to our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. That mindfulness brings opportunity for healing, growth, and awareness. During the Green Shoe Retreat, we model, teach, and guide transformational experiences to enhance your healing journey.
Why we do, what we do.
The Green Shoe Foundation Team is passionate about healing childhood wounds at the root source. Using compassion and curiosity we honor your individual story. This allows you the ability to reauthor your story which leads to transformational change. Our desire is for you to connect with your inherent worth learning to live with a sense of joy and balance.
Green Shoe Conversations is our podcast collaboration with the directors, therapists, and creative team at Green Shoe Foundation. We discuss current topics, upcoming events, mental health issues, self-care routines, invite special guests to join in on the conversation, and more.

“Recovery from codependence is a lot like a growing up process - we must learn to do the things our dysfunctional parents did not teach us to do: appropriately esteem ourselves, set functional boundaries, be aware of and acknowledge our reality, take care of our adult needs and wants, and experience our reality moderately.” ~ Pia Mellody
