What people say…

  • “The container that was created for our work was remarkable. Everyone present went very deep as we explored our shadows. There were tears, laughter and such honesty. I was really moved by how quickly we bonded given many of us had never previously met. I left a changed man. I will be eternally grateful for the experience.”

    Craig • 2024 Retreat attendee

  • “The TCS tribe created a perfect space for learning, reflection and connection. I didn’t know how much I needed all three until I got there! The blend of structure and free space was perfect for some personal meaning-making – I left with a new spring in my step!”
