We are following recommendations from the experts in science and will be making a decision based on science safety recommendations.

You will work with a network of other professionals who are leading a day long, weekend and adventure retreats.
The Retreat Coach Training also includes the powerful network of professional peers.
When you enroll in the Retreat Coach Training you’ll have access to the Student Center which is rich with additional resources beyond the Home Study Course and you’ll gain valuable professional connections with others in the retreat industry.
If you choose to also attend the Colorado In-Person Training, you’ll meet women from around the globe who will inspire your work and life.
“I learned the power of circles, connection and creativity on retreat. I gained powerful, practical tools to make me an expert facilitator with a variety of different groups – from professional team building to women’s rest and renewal retreats. Five years later, I often still reference my Retreat Coach training notebook with hundreds of pages of valuable materials. Coach Helene is a master coach in every sense of the word and as a mentor and friend, she has inspired me to incorporate retreat as a necessary – not optional – aspect of both my professional and personal lives.” ~ Elizabeth Barbour
