Return to Center: A Retreat for PBC Alumni
How do we make a bigger impact in the world? How can coaching make a real contribution as we face into this challenging moment in time? When’s the last time you took time out to have space held for you, so you could feel nourished as you hold space for others?
Coaching can be a lonely endeavor! We invite you to get away to the mountains of western NC and reconnect with yourself, your fellow coaches and the beautiful land that helped birth this work. To make a greater difference “out there,” we need to journey “in here.”
Take time with us and as a community to reflect on your coaching skills and learn some new ones. Re-energize your grounded presence and re-emerge with your tank filled and your heart renewed. Experience the joyful connections within your PBC community of practice that holds you in your development as a coach and a human. Come ready to move and be moved!
