Where most coach training happens within rooms, this begins where the walls end.
The Empowerment Retreat is a five-day immersive experience set in the breathtaking wilderness of Elohee, North Georgia—a place where ancient hardwood forest, open sky, and mountain stillness become your training ground.
Drawing on the deep roots of rites of passage traditions found across cultures and time, and grounded in the principles of ecopsychology, this program reconnects coaches with something older than technique: the elemental capacity to hold transformation.
Through facilitated encounters with the living wild natural world you'll learn to deepen your coaching presence, radically expand your range, and return home carrying something that no classroom could ever give you.

The work includes:
  • Somatic and embodiment practices
  • Deep listening and mindfulness in nature
  • Conversations with the wild
  • Using story, myth, archetype, and symbol as coaching tools
  • Art-based and creative work
  • All woven through with competency-aligned coaching skills

This is for anyone who senses there is more depth, more aliveness, more range to them and their work.

What our participants say

This was an exceptional training- thoughtful, informal, and nourishing. I hope to go again as the exercises are ones can be repeated in process but ever evolving in outcome. Thank you Rod and Sherry for this experience. It remains with me.


Justine Lauber, ACC
The Empowerment Retreat far surpassed my expectations! It is a chance to hit the reset button and go deeper, both with personal development and coaching skills. I would highly recommend the retreat for anyone who is looking for a semi-structured way to move further along on their path. The beautiful setting, great accommodations and food were a bonus!
