SLC’s Women of Spirit (WOS) and Men’s Group Leadership invite all of you to kick off the Wake-Up Season with our “Oneness Through Connecting” joint New Year’s retreat day on Saturday, January 5, from 9 am to 4:30 pm. Come to this interactive workshop-style retreat facilitated by David “Woody” Bartley and Rev. Dr. Gail Derin and join with our Women of Spirit and Men’s Group in an environment of connection and expansion.
David “Woody” Bartley will kick off the day with a talk called, “Remodeling a life divided into a life united: Using whole-person care to build and sustain mental health,” and will lead us through a workshop to practice moving from isolation to inclusion using the power of connection in 3 simple methods.
The second half of the day will have Rev. Dr. Gail Derin speaking about removing the barriers to love and creativity using 4 energetic exercises that move us from fear to flow, followed by a workshop called, “Presencing Oneness: Talk and practices to experience our connection to ourselves, each other and the Unified Field.”

David “Woody” Bartley
Like most people, David Bartley has seen his fair share of successes and setbacks: from co-directing a nationally recognized animal sanctuary to battling a life-threatening mental illness. But over the last seven years, David has successfully navigated from the isolation of mental “hellness” to the inclusive space of mental wellness. David is regularly invited to speak before a wide range of audiences across the country, giving keynote speeches and leading workshops on the topic of mental health.
David is a member of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, the International Association for Youth Mental Health, the National Storytelling Network’s Healing Story Alliance, and The Stability Network. David holds certifications in Mental Health First Aid for Youth and Adults, SafeTALK (Suicide Awareness for Everyone), and a suicide prevention technique called QPR (Question, Persuade and Refer). David’s goal for each speech and workshop is the same: to shed light on the issue of mental illness and open doors to the possibility of mental health for all.
