"This retreat has been a wonderful experience for helping me align with my own values, it’s been really effective in showing me I can do the same for other people in my own profession and in my own outlook, and also in my own ability to be an MI practitioner for other people, it’s also shown me a really wonderful way and experience of how to hold space for other people to explore their own choices, their own autonomy and if you are ambivalent about going, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity that is meant for you to explore who you want to be and how you want to grow into the future”.
Judge Thomas Kearns – Founder & Principal Consultant for Humanize Success
“I leave this training being not only impressed with the quality of what I have learned here, but with the integrity and commitment of Casey and his amazing team. It’s been a beautiful experience”
Jodi Jessen – Wellness Coach
"[I've] been pleasantly surprised, actually it’s exceeded my expectations, being able to be in such an intimate tight group of people who have similar values and goals along how to utilize this communication style has been really empowering"..."just to have that intimate relationship of hearing everybody’s deep thoughts on such a deep level rather than just surface level on ‘how can we help people’ but going more in depth on supporting autonomy and how we can keep reinforcing autonomy with individuals and empowering that so that has been a big takeaway".
