Join a Gracious Living Lifestyle Retreat week in Aug 2018 in beautiful, adventurous Northern Nicaragua! This is an IHN exclusive for graduating students who want an educational, restorative immersion that counts towards your Co-op hours. Participants would also have the opportunity to be considered for working with Grace in 2018 at her new resort and hosting your own retreats on her property. She would act as a guide, for those who have taken this week coaching/Co-op, and help you with your first effort when holding the retreat at her new facility. This Co-op week is limited to 6 exclusive participants.
Learn how to be successful at your health business, and more specifically how to facilitate your own successful, international retreats. Grace has masterminded and taught 80 retreats in the last six years, all around the world, focused on healing the body with clean, local, fresh plant-based foods, yoga, meditation, fitness practices, as well as the importance of spending time in nature.
She will be guiding and mentoring each graduating student through a retreat week setting to experience her schedule and formula for retreat success, while experiencing daily workshops and discussions on running your own successful business. The menu will consist of clean, local, fresh, tropical food, with options for a full, plant-based experience if desired. Co-op students will participate in the food preparation and be required to educate the other guests on the nutritional benefits of the meals along with Grace.
