HEAL RETREAT
Facilitator: Jody Williams
HEAL: Recover. Regulate. Reset. Return.
Jody Williams is a Transformation Coach, meditation teacher, and creator of the NeuroAwakening Method with over 25 years of experience blending ancient mindfulness practices and modern neuroscience. His work is rooted in lived experience—drawing from his own journey through addiction and mental health struggles toward healing, clarity, and resilience.
Trained under Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh and certified in Yoga, Meditation, Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness, and Positive Neuroplasticity, Jody brings a grounded, compassionate approach to everything he teaches. From corporate boardrooms to prison chapels, he’s known for creating safe, honest spaces where deep transformation can unfold.
Jody doesn’t just teach nervous system healing—he embodies it. His work reminds us that healing isn’t about becoming someone new, but returning to who we’ve always been.
HEAL is not just a retreat—it’s a return.
A return to the person you were before the world told you to hustle harder, do more, be better.
Before you learned to white-knuckle your way through life.
You don’t need fixing. You need remembering.
Led by Transformation Coach and 25-year meditation teacher Jody Williams, this isn’t your typical wellness weekend. No Instagram moments. No performing peace.
Just real nervous system work for real humans.
Through breathwork that actually works, movement that honors your body, and the kind of silence that lets truth surface—you’ll stop managing your stress and start feeling safe inside your own life.
This is where you remember:
Your nervous system isn’t the enemy; it’s been trying to keep you alive
Healing isn’t about rising above; it’s about softening into what’s real
Peace isn’t passive; it’s the most powerful thing you possess
What Is HEAL?
HEAL is a 2.5-day nervous system retreat grounded in science, spirit, and presence.
It’s built for people who have done the work but still feel stuck in their minds, their bodies, or their patterns.
This Is For You If…
You’re burned out, but still showing up for everyone else
You crave stillness but can’t seem to slow down
You’re tired of pretending to be okay
You want tools that help you regulate, not just cope
You’ve tried the books, the apps, the hacks… and you’re still exhausted

Jody Williams doesn’t just teach healing—he’s lived it.
For over 25 years, he’s sat in the hardest places: prison chapels, burnout boardrooms, and the quiet moments where people finally stop pretending they’re okay.
As a Transformation Coach, Buddhist pastoral care worker, and creator of the NeuroAwakening Method, Jody bridges the gap between ancient wisdom and cutting-edge neuroscience. But his real credential? He’s done the work himself.
He knows what it’s like to need the retreat that doesn’t exist. So he created it.
From high-powered executives drowning in stress to men behind bars drowning in shame, Jody has guided thousands through the kind of healing that actually sticks. Not because he has all the answers, but because he knows how to sit with the questions.
His work is built on one radical belief: your nervous system isn’t broken. It’s been trying to keep you alive.
When you stop fighting your body and start feeling safe inside your own life, everything shifts. Not just your stress levels—your entire relationship with being human.
Whether he’s leading retreats in Newfoundland forests, creating personalized meditations, or teaching corporate teams how to breathe again, Jody brings something rare to the wellness world:
Truth. Presence. And the kind of compassion that comes from surviving your own storm.
This isn’t borrowed wisdom. This is lived experience teaching you how to come home to yourself.
