Intensives, Mentorships, Retreats

Please join me for this very special growth opportunity in the beautiful setting of my ranch in Costa Rica. Whether your focus is on intensive personal growth work, mentoring on any aspect of life and work, choosing the next steps for where to go with your life, or a creative retreat, we will live, work, study, and play together. This type of in-depth work is available for stays of anywhere from one to three months. Pricing is based on the amount of focused sessions, even though the “work” continues through-out the day and the various activities in which we will share, plus lodging and food. Take advantage of “casual” time with me at no additional cost to you. Together we will explore all the gateways of a life that works and live those principles. You will be given personal assignments and journaling work while with me to further your explorations and intensions. Prices include optional free participation in any workshops I may be leading during your stay with me, horseback riding and other ranch activities. If you come with a rental car, my Costa Rican son will be happy to be your tour guide for trips to the beach and other eco-tours. Tours have a small additional cost associated.

DISCLAIMER:
During your stay with me, I will go about my life as normal, which may include a relationship. My time is likely to include sessions with clients, work on the computer and by phone, gardening, shopping, and entertainment and you may join me for much of it if you choose. I also acknowledge that I have health challenges and, while generally healthy, my physical stamina is periodically limited. I will experience the ordinary pleasures and stresses of life and my reactions thereto. There is nothing about my life, my reactions, or my behavior that will be a taboo topic for discussions. It is my choice to be as I am, with no pretense, and in so doing to model authenticity, integrity, and the practice of the Gateways. You will be entitled to ask any and all questions during the normal course of our time together regarding my choices. You are empowered to create the time to do so outside of focused session time.
