Retreats bring the world of coaching into a group setting for meaning, joy and self-development. Have you ever been part of a successful task – whether in an organization or building something with your hands as a group or coming together to create a delicious meal? If you have, you’ve experienced the synergy and sense of community that happens on my

retreats. When we align our Intent – both personally and beyond just our self towards a Higher Purpose, magic happens! You may be feeling burnt out or disconnected from yourself OR you may be on your path, moving forward and desiring to share the journey with others. Join me – Everyone’s Welcome!  

The retreats follow a seasonal pattern, aligned with the natural rhythms around us. They range from 4 hours to full weekend journeys. As multifaceted, experiential experiences, they include many activities such as journaling, intentional hiking in the mountains, creative visualizations, art projects, dancing, group sharing and coaching. They’re designed to blend together an experience of mind, body and soul.  

What can you expect to come back from a retreat with?

  • A greater connection to yourself
  • A strong, centered focus
  • Clarity about your next steps
  • Self-confidence
  • Re-energized and renewed
  • A sense of fulfillment  

Retreats open the door to your Self. And since they’re facilitated by a skillful, compassionate Coach, you go beyond what’s possible on your own. The Coach can assist you in translating your learning and uncovered meaning into action that moves you forward to your True Life!  

BRING YOUR CREATIVITY OUT
OF THE SHADOWS!
AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS!

Here are one woman's reasons for her retreat....
"I am a woman taking time to step away from my busy life and Retreat.

I have done so much for everyone through the years. I have worked 2 jobs at once, moved from apartments to houses, cared for parents, raised up children, excelled in my career, worked through the weekend, worked when I was sick, cooked, cleaned, and been the host for parties. I know what it feels like to be doing 5 things at once. I have met everyone's needs and put my own on the back burner.

Now is my time to retreat. To make the time, create the space, and invest the money in me. It may not be perfect timing but I am doing it anyway. All my other commitments can wait. I tell others in my life that I am going on retreat. I cannot come to the birthday party this weekend because I am going with my Retreat Coach

away. Away somewhere beautiful...a place that is mine alone. I am going for quiet, rest, singing women walking in the woods. Writing in my journal. Reviewing my life. Visioning my future. Healing myself now.

I am a woman claiming my power, my schedule. I am making my life happen now by taking the time to go on retreat."

All Retreats are for Women Only except Custom Retreats . They are held in beautful indoor settings adjacent to areas where we can walk and explore nature. The settings are chosen to provide beauty and comfort. Meals are healthy, delicious, and mindfully prepared. For an example of a retreat site, go to www.kellyplace.com

Our small group size (12 maximum plus guides) assures a deeply meaningful adventure with great memories and practical tools to return home with.  Sign up now for a unique trip combining both inner and outer exploration in the beauty of western Colorado.

Inside the Kiva

a part of.  Together we will explore soulful activities such as:

·        Meditation
·        Visualization to meet your Animal Allies

Testimonials from True Life Coaching Retreats

I learned what it feels like to give myself permission to put me #1 – in a gentle way that’s as essential as breathing.
- B.H., Durango, CO

This retreat was an amazing blend of working on myself and playing. It helped me be more aware of my feelings and realize I’m not the only one with struggles. I enjoyed every minute.
- K.H., Durango, CO

My experience at Spa for the Soul was one of tremendous support, insight and community. The setting was nurturing in every detail.  It reflected Victoria’s remarkable sensitivity to what truly nourishes our souls.  While she directed and facilitated the many facets of the weekend, I found her to be completely present with each of us and masterful at hearing what we were seeking to express.  I completed the weekend feeling very filled and very grateful.
- F.L., Eureka, MT.

The Life Purpose exercise will exhilarate and motivate you! It brings new meaning to the time-honored childhood question, “Who do you want to be when you grow up?”
- M.M., Durango, CO

My favorite time was sitting quietly on the mountain and reflecting. Thank you for the opportunity to learn and grow and love myself.
- A.R., Farmington, NM

The Living from your Soul retreat for me was the ultimate launching pad for a personal soul journey. My mind was opened to an array of unique paths in which to explore and expand awareness of my place in this world. Blue Lake Ranch is a stunning, nurturing and still place to renew and seek. Victoria graciously created a truly sacred space that allowed each woman to search and free her soul in complete protection. The weekend was an invaluable experience that I treasure deep in my heart, and I recommend it to any woman regardless of beliefs or fears!
- J.E., Durango, CO

Thank you for the priceless gift of your coaching and your absolutely divine leadership on retreat.  My weekend at Kelly Place has left me feeling blessed and expanded.   I truly appreciate your commitment to creating safe, nurturing and inspiring space for women, and the soft yet powerful way you call forth the goddess in all of us is amazing.   Thank you for guiding and supporting me in the art of accepting myself for who I am AND igniting joy and desire around stretching!
