Still Ground Retreat: The Burnout Journal

The Still Ground Retreat 90-Day Burnout Journal is a guided self-discovery journal for burned-out professionals ready to stop performing and start healing. Created by Libby Cleaves, founder of the Still Ground Retreat, this journal brings the transformative arc of a four-day somatic retreat directly to the reader — no travel required. The journal opens with four retreat-style days covering arrival, grounding, emotional awareness, and values clarification, using tools like the Feelings Wheel, the Life Wheel, and a comprehensive Values Glossary. From there, readers move through ninety days of honest, thoughtful prompts organized into twelve weekly themes — from nervous system regulation and boundary setting to presence, rest, and returning to self. Weekly reflection pages serve as mile markers, and free journaling and coloring pages offer unstructured space throughout. This journal is designed for the high-achieving woman who has spent years giving everything to her work and very little to herself. It does not ask her to fix anything. It asks her to feel, slowly and without pressure, until she can hear herself again. Rooted in breathwork, somatic healing, and mindful self-inquiry, the Still Ground 90-Day Burnout Journal is both a standalone experience and a companion to the Still Ground Retreat. This is the accompaniment to the nomadic healing retreat for small groups held in locations around the world. For anyone who has ever needed permission to slow down, these pages are it.
