We support the resilience, capacity, and compassion of individuals, teams, and organizations so they can live and work with vitality, from a center of sustainable well-being, aligned with passion, purpose, and values.

Through participatory methods, you'll gain foundational skills in: 

• Accessing and expanding your resilience zone
• Engaging with self and others from empathy and compassion
• Asking good questions to increase self and relational understanding

• Taking action based on thoughtful decision making​

From this trustworthy inner space, you'll be prepared to act in alignment with what matters in your life, family, community or organization.

We believe in

The power of regulated individuals, communities, and organizations to achieve inspiring goals

Self-directed change led from within individuals and communities​

Personal shifts as catalysts for systemic change

"This was truly one of the most meaningful and beneficial retreats I've been on. I was so impressed by the immense thoughtfulness and obvious intention behind every detail of this retreat. Even the time management was flawless, with one activity building on the next in a non-obvious way, but important as far as the flow of depth and play and lightness. You are special people that truly make this world a better and more beautiful place. I am grateful to have shared this time with you and appreciate so much all the time and care you took to make it truly wonderful!"

"With the giving nature of teachers, I found this retreat was just what I needed. With the stress level of teachers on the rise, mindfulness practice will help them find peace. I would recommend this retreat whole-heartedly, and there is also scientific data that show it works."
