Living Centered combines the focused therapeutic work of a group therapy intensive with the restorative setting of an immersive retreat.

Living Centered may be a fit if you feel stuck in familiar patterns, disconnected from yourself or others, overwhelmed by life, or simply know there is something you’d like to understand more deeply.

People come for many different reasons—from relationship patterns and family-of-origin experiences to shame, codependency, stress, burnout, and a desire for greater self-awareness.

You do not need to have everything figured out before you come. Our Admissions team will talk with you about what you’re experiencing and help determine whether Living Centered is the right Onsite experience for you.

Weekly therapy gives you consistent support over time. A therapy intensive creates dedicated space to step outside your normal routine and spend concentrated time exploring a particular area of your life.

At Living Centered, you’ll participate in approximately six hours of experiential group therapy each day, along with psychoeducation, reflection, meditation, and community experiences.

For some guests, this immersive format may create space to notice and work with patterns that can be difficult to access amid the demands of everyday life.

Each day includes a combination of experiential group therapy, psychoeducational teaching, meditation or reflection, and guided community activities. You’ll spend approximately six hours each day in therapeutic group work with a small cohort, with time built around the work for meals, rest, connection, and the restorative experience of the Onsite campus.

Living Centered incorporates experiential therapy, group therapy, and psychodrama. Rather than focusing only on talking about what you know intellectually, experiential approaches create opportunities to notice patterns as they happen and practice new ways of responding in a supportive environment.

Every person’s experience is different, but Living Centered commonly explores themes including family of origin, shame, relationship patterns, codependency, childhood experiences, trauma, coping patterns, self-awareness, and the ways past experiences may continue to influence your present life.

Living Centered is currently $6,900. The program fee includes the therapeutic experience, accommodations, meals, and access to the Onsite campus during your stay.

If you have questions about cost, payment, or upcoming program availability, our Admissions team can help you understand the next steps.
