Burnout is reversible.

You are not who you were a year ago. Our world continues to change, it will not be taking us "back to normal", and many old tools and ways are clearly not meeting our new needs. Your most powerful skills are now are not your professional ones. They are how you meet change in all arenas. You can meet this change with a strengthened sense of self and priorities, renewed energy, and a vibrant and resilient avenue of being in the world.

How many of these are you feeling now?

Burnout symptoms...

emotional exhaustion
lessened performance
alienation
cynicism
self-medicating and numbing
shame

Which invite...

health symptoms
impacted relationships
financial costs
apathy, depression, anxiety
isolation and loneliness
loss of direction

We choose our guides based on our needs.

In personal difficulty, we get clear on what the arena is, then reach out as needed to a trainer, a therapist, a priest, a doctor. When the true issue is our capacity to deal with accelerated change and communicate our needs, this arena is called resilience. But your boss is not going to make you burnout-resistant. Your best friend, your partner cannot be in charge of saving you. This is a personal mission, personal work. How great is your toolbox?

boundaries & buffer zones

clarity on the roles and relationships between burnout vs. depression vs. anxiety
clear and useful understanding of how your brain works with this
resilience systems design
an instant personal resilience gauge
imagination and delight workout practices
and so much more...

Resilience is born to. Radical resilience is built.

I'm Lorca. I add resilience to the world as I design, curate, and use long-tested tools that keep you in a place to keep giving in order to meet your hard things with new resilience, wisdom, and warmth. And fun.

And as a former wilderness guide, my job is to take you into inner landscapes you have not yet navigated, using skills you are growing in, and then to bring you home safe, yet refreshed and changed.

One intensive day. One-on-one.

In a single day focusing on your specific and current situation - internal and external - we clear out fog, press a midday reset button, and install supported actions, structure, and mindsets to design forward for who you want to be into the next six months and six years as our world changes around and with us. This is your day given to one lens -- "How am I now moving forward with the greatest ease and impact as a resilient human?" Answering this question is the path through non-linear growth, generosity without sacrifice, and serenity that lives independent of circumstances.

You can create this kind of change in less than a day. A day is a lot. But you can't not take time and focus to reset clarity and direction, pretend you did, and be surprised when you are more tired and fuzzy and coping in the months down the road. That sounds a little absurd, really. This is important, yes? You are important.

Why?

“Lorca is remarkable in her ability to work with educators to create a dynamic where they feel safe working with each other and within themselves. Because teachers can often give themselves to the point where they leave their profession, she trained our staffs in understanding how caring for themselves is caring for their careers.”

Gennifre Hartman, Executive Director — Great Beginnings and Founder — The Traveling School

“What a gift it was to work with you. I doubt that I would be here in Indonesia if it were not for your timely nudging and encouragement at a time when I was stuck and feeling overwhelmed. You helped me find the warrior within and also be gentler with myself. It was very telling when my boss told me in mid-July, “You are sparkling, Nina. You seem really happy!” Our time together helped make my mental transitions that laid the groundwork for the change possible.”

Nina Jaeger, Director of Major Gifts, Yellowstone Park Foundation

"By helping me view life through a new and vibrant lens, and heightened curiosity, what I once thought would take years of hard labor to gain momentum transformed into moments, then minutes, then hours of whispering possibility. I didn’t think it was possible but now I wish every person I love could taste such sweetness in their lives. What Lorca offers is more generous, positive, and transformative than any other avenue of self-repair I have sought out in more than twenty years, and through eight years of exhaustion. Not only does she offer this with the curriculum she has crafted but in her innate way of being. I now eagerly look forward to the sunrise and lie in bed grateful at night. There is no greater value."

The Place & the Process

We spend the day together on this farm near Bozeman, MT. (See FAQs about virtual days.) There are many creatures, tame and wild. There is shade and gardens and aspens, a tent and a river, and a good farm lunch.
It looks like:

talk
laughing
listening
writing
permission
silence
solitude
stillness
radical muscular imagining.

White doves and homing pigeons are flying. This is land that teaches.

FAQs

Can I do this work virtually, from where I am?

Absolutely. I have done virtual retreats with people who are in other countries, in hospital beds, in service, and in quarantine. I'm just sorry not to be able to cook you a fresh garden lunch.

When are the dates for this year's summer retreats?

We personally schedule the best date and times for both of us.

Is the farm day weather-dependent?

No. Our river aspen grove has at its center a platformed wall tent with a wood stove, and we can talk, cook, eat, write, rest, and think in comfort and beauty.

Can two of us do this day together with you?

Yes, two people who are close to each other building a common future.

Do you have a question first?

Call me.
