Natural Lifemanship Personal Immersion
We hold the hand that holds the hand.
It is our mission to empower professionals through education and healing connection.
We hold the hands of the many professionals who do important healing work with others, every single day.
Oftentimes in our trainings, participants acknowledge the very personal nature of learning to do effective relational work and wish for more time to focus on themselves. We heard you and have designed an immersion to meet that yearning.
Our NL Personal Immersion is a unique and intimate 4-day experience that addresses the emotional and psychological needs you have as a helping professional, so that you can better meet the needs of your clients.
This Immersion differs from our other trainings by focusing on your own personal experiences of connection and loss, joy and sorrow, peace and discord— and by helping you to understand your attachment style and how it impacts your ability to relate.
Practice secure attachment through self-discovery and genuine connection.
You cannot take clients where you have not been. As helping professionals, we join clients through some of their most challenging moments. Yet as humans, we experience plenty of our own challenging moments as well.
Intimately knowing these aspects of the human experience makes us better clinicians!

“The NL Personal Immersion is a beautifully curated retreat that builds on the NL principles. Processing through old wounds is not easy and I wouldn’t have wanted to do it with anybody else. I highly recommend this training.”
Ashley Stavig
“The Personal Immersion was second-to-none…it felt nearly impossible to re-enter the ‘real world.’ If you’re willing to take a deep dive into a brave space…there is no better place to do it than with these incredibly supportive, compassionate, and intuitive people.”
