RETREATS
"Douglas was an amazing guide, and the thoughtfully planned sessions allowed me to escape my usual routine of stress and emails, offering a chance to truly pause and reflect. As someone constantly under stress, I didn’t realize how much I needed this break. I left feeling incredibly recharged and ready for growth, grateful for the experience and the new friends made."

"Douglas, I wanted to let you know how powerful your workshop was for me. At first when I got home, I was still experiencing some of my pain. But when I woke up this morning the pain was completely gone. And I had the energy and motivation to write the introduction to my book. Whatever it was that left has allowed me to refocus on what I had been struggling with."
