For experienced coaches ready for what’s next
You don’t need more coaching tools.
You need space to become the coach you already are.
This is not a training. It’s a space to step away—and come back to what matters.
Lake Tahoe • October 2–5, 2026
For coaches who know there's more
This is not another training.
You’ve done the training.
You’ve built the skills.
And still—something is calling you deeper.
Not more information.
Not more strategies to master.
But more presence.
More clarity.
More truth in how you show up.
The Coaching Alchemy Retreat is a space to step out of the noise
and reconnect with what matters most—
in your work, and in yourself.
What begins to shift in you
This is what opens when you step out of the noise.
Somatic Awareness
Move beyond thinking into direct experience. Learn to read the subtle signals of the body—your own and your clients’—as grounded insight.
Deep Listening
Listen beyond words into what is felt, unsaid, and emerging. Stay present with complexity—without needing to fix or resolve.
Reconnection to Purpose
Reconnect with what originally called you to this work—and refine how that purpose wants to evolve now.
Embodied Presence
Develop a steady, grounded way of showing up that shifts the space around you—without effort or performance.
Meet your guides
This retreat is guided by two Master Certified Coaches with decades of experience working at the intersection of leadership, presence, and human transformation.
Their work has focused on helping leaders and coaches move beyond performance into clarity, presence, and aligned action.
Known for creating spaces that are both deeply grounded and quietly powerful, Michelle and Laurie bring a rare ability to listen beyond words, challenge with precision, and hold what emerges—without rushing to resolution.
This is not about teaching you how to coach. It’s about creating the conditions for you to return to the coach you already are.
What your days will hold
This is not a program to complete.
It’s a rhythm you step into.
Each day is intentionally designed to create space—for reflection, connection, and insight that doesn’t come from thinking alone.
Mornings begin in quiet—guided somatic practices, reflection, and presence work that brings you back into your body and your own knowing.
From there, we move into small group dialogue and coaching—exploring what’s emerging in your work, your leadership, and your life.
Afternoons open for integration—time in nature, journaling, or simply being without pressure to produce or perform.
Evenings are spacious and grounding—time to connect, rest, and let what’s unfolding settle more deeply.
You are supported—not directed.
Challenged—but never rushed.
A gentle rhythm to your days
