This training covers both sides of what it takes to lead a truly great retreat. You’ll learn how to design your retreat from scratch — schedule, budget, lodging, food, location, logistics, every detail. And you’ll learn how to be an excellent facilitator once you’re in the room. Planning it is one thing. Being truly great at it is another. This training gives you both.
Ready to expand beyond 1:1 work.
Want structure, tools, and confidence.
Care about deep transformation.
“Caroline’s approach is both compassionate and challenging.
She invites people to brush up against their boundaries creating new openings and insights.”

The Curriculum
This training covers it all — every practical detail of how to form, plan, budget, and run a retreat from start to finish. Location scouting, scheduling, logistics, marketing, pricing. You will leave knowing exactly how to build your retreat, because you’re learning from someone who has done it over 200 times.
And then there’s the layer that most trainings simply cannot offer: the facilitation skills to make your retreat genuinely transformational. How to hold space at depth. How to read and guide a group. How to be the kind of facilitator that people remember for the rest of their lives.
“Over 200 private and group retreats since 2008. This isn’t theory — it’s everything that actually works, passed directly to you.”
01
From initial concept to the last day — budgeting, logistics, arc, scheduling, venue selection, and every detail in between. You’ll leave with a complete blueprint for your retreat, ready to execute.
02
Nearly two decades of leading retreats has taught Carrie exactly what works, what doesn’t, and what no one tells you before you’re standing in front of a room. You get all of it — the hard-won wisdom, not the sanitized version.
03
The psychological, somatic, and energetic skills that create the conditions for real transformation — not just a nice weekend. Learn what it truly means to hold a group container with depth, safety, and presence.
04
Conscious marketing strategies that honor your voice, build trust, and fill your rooms with participants who are truly ready for the work. No hustle, no compromise.

Caroline “Carrie” Culverhouse has been leading retreats since 2008 — over 200 group and private retreat experiences across Hawaii, Pennsylvania, New Orleans, London, Sedona, and beyond. She is a licensed clinical social worker, certified group psychotherapist, E-RYT yoga teacher, meditation guide, and energy healer.
Her approach is both compassionate and challenging. She has a way of knowing what the group needs, and she is able and willing to adjust to hold and maintain a safe space. Her teaching is nontraditional — she doesn’t force the point. You find it yourself.
As the founder of Integrative Awakening and co-founder of HomePym retreat center in Berks County, Pennsylvania, Carrie brings nearly two decades of real-world retreat leadership into every training she offers.
