Our Programs

What classes do we offer?

Each program combines theoretical foundations with field-tested practical application — delivered as part of our intensive 14-day retreat or as standalone modules.

CBT — Therapy

We offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Training (CBT) as a cornerstone of our holistic approach to mental health and well-being. CBT is a widely recognized and evidence-based therapeutic modality that focuses on understanding and changing the patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to emotional distress.

EMDR — Therapy

We offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy Training as a powerful tool for healing trauma and overcoming distressing experiences. EMDR is an evidence-based approach that helps individuals process traumatic memories and alleviate associated symptoms by stimulating bilateral brain activity through guided eye movements.

NLP — Therapy

We provide Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Therapy Training as a dynamic approach to personal transformation and growth. NLP focuses on understanding the interplay between language, behavior, and thought patterns to empower individuals to overcome limiting beliefs, habits, and emotions.

BFR — Therapy

Bach Flower Remedy (BFR) Therapy Training is part of our holistic approach to healing and well-being. Developed by Dr. Edward Bach in the 1930s, BFR therapy harnesses the natural healing properties of flower essences to address emotional imbalances and promote inner harmony.

TM — Meditation

Transcendental Meditation (TM) therapy is a huge part of our comprehensive approach to holistic healing. TM is a simple, natural technique that allows individuals to effortlessly transcend to a state of deep relaxation and inner peace. Our experienced instructors guide clients through personalized TM sessions.

Hatha Yoga

Hatha Yoga is a traditional form of yoga that focuses on physical postures (asanas), breath control (pranayama), and meditation to promote harmony between the body and mind. Our experienced instructors guide clients through Hatha Yoga sessions tailored to their individual needs.

Methodology

Our Holistic Eight-Domain Approach

Eight interrelated domains provide a balanced lifestyle structure that propels you towards your goals — beginning with emotional balance, working towards physical health, and reaching completion with mindful awareness.

#1

Physical Domain

Daily exercise, swimming, sauna, martial arts, flexibility routines, weight management advice, cleansing and detoxing protocols to build and maintain core strength from the ground up.

#2

Nutritional Domain

Nutritional and dietary advice with instructions for 18/21 live food diet, pH balancing, blood-type diet, personalized menus, and cooking classes.

#3

Emotional Domain

Pranayama breathing exercises combined with Dynamic Meditation, Self-Confidence Training, and one-on-one Cognitive Therapy and Counseling.

#4

Spiritual Domain

Discover your inner nature, peace, and harmony with yourself and the connection you have with the universe, the outside world, and the life force around you.

#5

Relational Domain

Marital or relationship issues are dynamic. Relationship counseling concentrates on personal responsibility, negotiation, conflict resolution, and making amends.

#6

Intellectual Domain

Expand your mind through engaging activities and educational opportunities. Participate in thought-provoking discussions and workshops to enhance problem-solving and broaden perspective.

#7

Professional Domain

Achieving financial stability and career success matters — but fulfillment is hollow if it leaves you resentful, burnt out, or lonely. Learn how to balance work, career, and intimacy.

#8

Recreational Domain

Enjoy rest and contemplation, as well as fun activities that support new behavior patterns: swimming, nature walks, ATV off-road adventures, to name a few.
