We are excited to bring these opportunities to Kansans.
The Benefits of an RVC Retreat
“When we give ourselves compassion, we are opening our hearts in a way that can transform our lives.
And in doing so, we transform the lives of others. There is no greater way to find self-compassion than to find an opportunity to withdraw and refresh. Investing in an RVC retreat is investing in the future of you, your business and your family. Below is just a taste of what we will offer! We are excited to bring you a transformational center that will ENHANCE your wellbeing!
Our retreats were created to give you and your organization an opportunity to step away from your current hurry-up, fast-paced lifestyle. The RVC retreats are located in the middle of the Flint Hills of Kansas on a beautiful piece of property with rolling hills and peace and quiet. The opportunity to attend one of our retreats allows you to gain perspective from the circumstances of our lives.
Each retreat is a perfect blend of mindfulness, resilience and wellbeing experiences carefully curated through meditation, yoga, breathwork, nature and leading experts that specialize in the areas of need. We will not only provide the best experts in Kansas but we will also offer the top experts throughout the US to provide the best experience.
