Nature Hikes: Experience nature as the backdrop for heart-centered business and life conversations.
Silent Beach Walk: A concluding walk that is an invitation to integrate and embody what you’ve learned.
“The 26 hours flew by and you forget you are at an event with a group of business professionals. Spencer and team facilitate such a wonderful event that nourishes the soul. You will leave the event like a new version of yourself, more equipped to serve clients than ever before.”
