retreats
“It is also a victory to know when to retreat.” ~Erno Paasilinna
To retreat is to step away from our routines and explore a new rhythm for our lives. We invite you to do that with two retreat offerings.
a day retreat
Relax, reflect, renew your mind, body, and spirit with the healing Power of Pause.
Step away from your inbox and the energy drains for your daily life. Step into a day prepared just for you.
Together we will explore:
-
the Power of Pause: lessons and reflections on hitting the “pause” button
-
the Power of Movement: a gentle yoga or stretch class under the open sky and trees
-
the Power of Sound: led by a skilled sound therapist
-
the Power of Food: share a delicious lunch by the lake or hearthside
-
the Power of Nature: a woodland walk or hike
-
the Power of Presence: be empowered as you sit in silent reflection
a day retreat
This day is designed for faith leaders, clergy, and lay persons seeking to gain practical guidance towards health in a spiritually grounded way.
Are you quick to care for others while neglecting your own self-care? What if the key to your overall health and wellbeing is lodged in the scriptures you read each day, the scriptures where you found your calling?
​
Unplug from the pressures of your usual routine and join us in community as together we explore these questions and focus on what matters; your wellbeing and your own experience of Metanoia.
Metanoia matters. You do, too.
Metanoia, from the Greek, metanoiein: to change one’s mind
Connect with us to schedule a day retreat for your organization, peer group, or colleagues.
Your call will be a victory in retreat. Day retreat location and pricing will be determined by number of participants, your location and proximity to various selected sites.
NOTE: Each October, the be(e) well serve well team hosts an annual pause to emPower day retreat in the mountains of North Georgia. This day retreat is open to the public.

Whatever you pay, you will receive the same course as everyone else. We hope this option encourages broader participation, learning, and of course, health.
1. Talk to the Turtle

2. Healing Starts Here
Your planet. Your plate. In this 75-minute pre-recorded learning module, we explore how something we do every day can impact our own healing and the healing of the planet. Together, we answer the question: what if healing the planet starts with our fork?
​

​
Session Cost: Choose the amount you pay: $125, $100 (recommended), or $75.
Our Executive Director, Deborah Garrard, offers nutritional coaching as well as insights related to healing in relationship to food and health.
As a Whole Food, Plant-based Nutritionist and Mind-Body-Spirit Eating Coach, Deborah can help you answers questions like:
​
-
How did we develop a particular lifestyle related to food and health?
-
Why do we think about health in the way we do?
-
What holds us back from shifting to a healthier lifestyle?
-
What are our ego-driven attachments and how can they be healed?
-
What outside influences impact our answers?
​
Coaching takes place in relationship and over time. Coaching is a blend of dialogue, respectful inquiry, listening, guiding, experimentation and well-chosen action steps. The coach and client work together to properly evaluate the client needs, to adjust goals when necessary, and to provide tools of empowerment for nourishment and growth.
consulting
Consulting is the perfect option for those seeking answers to particular questions or guidance with a specific concern. Consulting is often a short-term process in which client and professional explore an area of interest or concern for 2-3 sessions.
Both Coaching and Consulting are offered online, via Zoom, and in a setting of trust and confidence.
​
Ultimately both Coaching and Consulting are about the client and, as such, are dependent upon both the client’s commitment to work and an acceptance of responsibility for using the guidance provided to the best of the client’s abilities.

If you are interested or have questions about Coaching or Consulting, please connect with us to schedule a free 15 minute exploration conversation.
