Jump Up! your Divorce Recovery with Vikki in Montreal

Join me for a very special divorce recovery weekend retreat in Montreal. It’s called the Jump Up! because you will supercharge your recovery from the end of your relationship.

Jump Up!  Montreal isn’t just a retreat. It’s a way to start feeling normal again. I know how awful it feels when your relationship ends. You’re not in control of your emotions, you’re scared for the future, you just don’t feel yourself. And while you may be surviving – life is about much more that. It’s about thriving.

 
 
There are no words to describe the feeling of being among other women that truly understand what I have been through. We formed a tight, loving, heartbroken, but absolutely strong and supportive community. We only had two days, but I could swear I have known them all of my life. I know I found lifelong friends. As a result of being there, I have found peace for the first time in two years.
— Kathy from Virginia

What to expect at the Jump Up! Montreal

The Jump Up! Montreal is a great opportunity to move your recovery ten steps forward so you can start feeling better. During two jam-packed days in Montreal, I'll be leading workshops that will help you understand what happened in your life and how to recover from the end of your marriage.

In the safety of a caring community of women who really understand what you've been going through, you'll learn how to:

  • Understand why your husband left and why he did it the way he did

  • Manage your emotions, stop obsessing about your ex and start to feel better

  • Recognize that you're not crazy and you're not alone!

  • Use this crisis as a springboard to change

  • Revive hope for your future

Under my guidance in 6 in-depth workshops, you’ll get a chance to work through issues and find solutions with others going through the same thing.

The Jump Up! Montreal is appropriate for:

  • Women who are struggling with the early stages of shock, hurt, obsessing and deep grief following the end of the marriage

  • Women who have moved on from the initial stages and are working on rebuilding their lives

We’ll also be having some fun!

We'll celebrate together on the Saturday night at the banquet dinner, which will be held at Le Pois Penché, an authentic French bistro. This three course gourmet dinner is included in your retreat fee. The food will be great but the friendship will be greater!

We are offering a free optional bonus day on the Monday following the Retreat, so we can relax and spend the day together sightseeing around Montreal. If you can possible make it, do! It's always great fun!

After the weekend, you’ll go home feeling encouraged and refreshed, with a support network you can really count on. Come alone or come with a friend, or come with your Hearts & Minds group or Tapestry Circle. Just get yourself to Montreal and I'll take care of the rest. Join us! You'll be so glad you did.

 
 
I really really enjoyed the retreat. It was the first time in a long time I had so much fun, concentrating on me and the future. I loved being with the women - they were delightful! The plans you made were outstanding. I couldn’t think of anything more.

FAQ

I'm worried that I won't know anyone.
Most of the women coming won't know anyone else either. You'll be amazed at how quickly you make friends.

I'm already in therapy. Isn't this the same thing?
Therapy is wonderful but this is very different and so much more. The benefit of my expertise and the support and friendship of the other women will supercharge your healing.

I'm still pretty fragile and not sure if I'm up to an event like this.
There's a saying, "Life begins at the end of your comfort zone!" You'll be surrounded by other women going through the same thing and I’ll be there to support you. Many women have felt the same way before a retreat and were so happy they came.

It’s been a long time since my husband left. Is this still for me?

Definitely! All of my groups are made up of women at differing stages of recovery and everyone finds healing, no matter what stage you’re at!

Is there an optimal age for participants? I'm afraid I may be too young (or too old). 
No! We're all in this boat together and everyone bonds so strongly that age really doesn't matter.

I was not married - just in a serious relationship. Does the retreat apply to me?
Yes! The Jump Up! Montreal is for any woman recovering from the break up of a serious relationship.


 
 

The Delta Hotel

We’ll be staying at the beautiful Delta Hotel in downtown Montreal. We have an excellent room rate of $279 CAD (equivalent to about $204 US). You can cancel up to 72 hours in advance without penalty. We also have a special rate of $25/night for parking.

Use the link below if you are booking for just the two nights of Friday, September 4th and Saturday, September 5th. If you need more nights, call the hotel directly at 514/286-1986 (press option 8 for English and then 7 for reservations). Tell them that you are with the Vikki Stark group and we have a special rate ($279 Canadian).

If you would like to share a room, phone the hotel and reserve a room with two double beds. Then if I can locate another person who wants to share, you can work it out with her but at least you will have a double room secured.

Please reserve your room as soon as possible because there are a limited number of rooms and the rate is only good till August 19th.

 
 

Banquet Dinner at Le Pois Penche

A special banquet dinner on Saturday night is included in the fee. It will be held at Le Pois Penché, a lovely French bistro with great food. 

 
 

Montreal is a world-class destination

Montreal is a great travel destination! Trip Advisor says, "Old Montreal's Parisian style streets are a wonderful place to wander - stop at an intimate bistro or sidewalk café for a taste of Europe." But don't worry - you won't have to speak French!

I know that making the decision to join us in Montreal is not easy, but I promise, you won't regret it! We'll all Jump Up! together! 

Big hug!

Vikki
