Training
This is an intensive yoga training in social entrepreneurialism and partner dynamics in a retreat-like setting. While we want you to enjoy yourself, we also want to support you in full commitment to this immersive experience. The partner dynamics will neurologically develop greater insight into the subtleties of our community, relationships, and what it takes to build great insight as transformational leaders.
The retreat is designed much like a cauldron so we can all step into a cooking, transformational process. This may not always be comfortable as we challenge our own ego container but from this, we will find greater freedom to live the life we love and carry out our life’s work.
This is also somewhat of a social experiment as it takes a high degree of emotional maturity for social innovators (energy workers) to thrive and sustain lasting impact for the betterment of society. Please take care of yourself over the course of 5 days and be especially considerate of each other and the teachers. The best teachers are the best students, rather than the mind of the knower step into the mind of the learner.
Healing
You will learn and experience yoga and Thai body work techniques designed to heal your body and others.
Community Enrichment
Enrich your life by diving in with like-minded souls from a variety of professions. Make life-long connections with like minded people
Professional Photography

Testimonials
“This retreat made me realize what I was meant to do. It solidified my direction. As much as you get out of it emotionally, physically and spiritually it was amazing. There’s no judgement, no ego, no one is on the spot, but you never feel like you’re the only person going through it. It’s practical for everyone. If you think now is not a good time, it is. Make it happen!”
