The Level One Training is the best place to begin if you want to learn how to lead retreats or grow your present retreat business.
You will receive many valuable resources and tools, you will train to be an excellent Retreat Coach, and you will learn how to incorporate the International Coaching Federations Coaching Competencies into your business model.
You’ll meet other women who are growing their business and marketing skills. With strong mentorship by Master Certified Coach Helene Van Manen, you’ll feel supported in developing your path to financially profitable retreats.
“I’ve had many creative retreat ideas and a passion for bringing these to the women I come in contact with in life. The Certified Retreat Coach Training brought me the tools I needed to put some structure around my offerings, a community of other like-minded women to support and encourage me in my journey, and a treasure chest full of all the collaborative work of those coaches that have gone before me to pull from when I have needed fresh ideas.” ~April Herren, Free 2 Be Retreats
When you join the Level One Training you will become a part of a powerful network of other women who are leading retreats called the Retreat Coach Network.
Many of these women are already leading retreats and readily share their resources and expertise with the group, while many are just at the start of their retreat leading. You will fit into the group no matter where you are at. And you will get very inspired by seeing what your professional peers are doing in their retreats and learn much from them.
“The benefits of saying ‘Yes’ to Level One continue to grow exponentially with many surprises along the way. Helene’s clear guidance and counsel combines a sense of the sacred with solid business acumen. The program has connected me to coaches in the US and other countries through monthly calls plus a bonus small group for more intimate ‘championing.’ I would recommend this program to any person considering offering Retreats — from the beginner to the seasoned practitioner.” ~Kathleen Moore, Light Hearted Living Coach
