Yes! There is no age limit or restrictions on who can participate in a retreat. Every retreat is tailored to the specific needs and desires of each family. If a family desires to bring younger children (under 10), then the retreat may be altered to include activities and experiences for the children of the family.

The goal of each retreat is to provide an experience that is as impactful as possible for each family. To obtain a list of suggested locations, please contact us. But if your family has a location in mind where you’d would like to spend your retreat time, all suggestions — even outside the U.S. — will be considered.

It’s “glamorous camping”! A typical retreat involves staying at a small resort/spa that offers opportunities for immersion in nature. These resorts are relaxing, providing creature comforts including delicious food, but still offer ample opportunities for quiet, distraction-free contemplation and reflection. While tent-camping and isolation are an option, we want the experience to be as stress-free for the families as possible.  More information about what a retreat looks like can be found here.

Our program leaders and facilitators are simply world-class. We are brought together not only by our passion and dedication to supporting families, but by the power of deep nature connection, which complements and geometrically enhances the effectiveness of our work. We’re flexible.

We facilitate retreats in a variety of locales, from spas and retreat centers to state and national parks, to eco-lodges in places like the San Juan Islands and the Amazon jungle. Each retreat is custom-tailored to the needs and desires of the participating family in terms of location, selection of the professional team, and processes to address the issues the family is facing. Our focus is positive; our work leads families into states of personal and group regeneration and renewal. Above all, we care, and we do our work with heart and humility. We win when you win.

We do many kinds of work with families and groups, including mentoring, grief processing, healing relationships, family alignment, values discovery, family transitions, honoring elders, celebration and gratitude, establishing and rooting new families, and issues around family business.

Our work requires the talents, insights and experience of professionals from a variety of complementary fields, from estate planning to mental health, from eldercare to family business, from wealth management to gratitude and transformation.
