THE PEACEWALKER EVOLUTION TRAINING RETREAT
Imagine living a safer, happier, healthier, more powerful life! Envision what it would feel like having less stress and more confidence in everything that you do. Cultivate your ability to clearly see & quickly handle the conflicts inside and around you!
This Program really is the Perfect Combination of Self Defense, Conflict Resolution & Leadership Skills... All Rolled Up into an Exciting, Reality Based, Personal Development Bootcamp!
Having the confidence to protect yourself, do the right thing and stand up for others is more than just knowing a bunch of random techniques that you learned on youtube, your community ed center, or local martial arts studio. It's more than learning how to simply punch and kick. It's more than just being situationally aware or understanding how to 'talk to people.' And it's certainly a whole lot more than carrying a weapon or being able to 'throw down' when necessary.
Yes, those things can be important, but it’s really much, much bigger than that!
It's about your ability to build Peace inside of you while at the same time learning the skills to influence those around you. You will be amazed at how much confidence and peace of mind you gain when you know what to do when nice doesn’t work!
The PeaceWalker Evolution Training Retreat was designed to give you the blueprint, the Rosetta Stone if you will, to a more POWERFUL Life!
This unique program is delivered bootcamp style… Only Enjoyable!
It is an Immersion Course that is made up of an excusive 5 week guided online home study prep-course that prepares you for the Exclusive 3+ day LIVE IN-PERSON TRAINING RETREAT!
Why an Immersion Course?!
Water doesn't boil at 211 degrees! If I had a dollar for every person I've seen train for years and just 'simmer' so to speak. Many never really put it all together. So, they never gain the certainty or skill they were looking to get from their training.
You probably don’t have the time to spend the months, years or decades to train in order to develop the skills needed to be confident at dealing with conflict and violence. This is exactly why I developed this course.
This program is a complete EXPERIENCE that will connect you to the method to develop and hone your skills. You will discover how to recognize and confidently deal with intense situations much more effectively. This is all done through this exciting course.
GUIDED ONLINE COACHING:
This portion of the training prepares you for the LIVE IN-PERSON RETREAT!
The guided on-line portion of the course consists of 5 lessons per week over a 5 week period. Don't worry though, the lessons are short, simple and interesting.
Each lesson was specifically designed for busy people like you and me. The format is easy to fit in your day and integrated into your life. This unique method is meant for you to be able to immediately use your new skills in your life, and directly see the benefits from your progress. The formula needs to be done in a certain way to in order to work. It's simple really, like following a recipe. There will also be weekly live zoom Q&A coaching calls to add depth and answer questions.
IN-PERSON RETREAT:
The on-line coaching prepares you for maximizing the capstone portion of your program... THE RETREAT!
The retreat is a 3+ day all-inclusive training experience at the Barothy Lodge. The lodge is a beautiful retreat center located directly on the Pere Marquette River in Northern Michigan. You will join me and the dozen(ish) other PeaceWalkers going through the program. There, we will connect and complete your training with activity-based learning, adventure challenges, scenario training, cookouts, campfire discussions and plenty of camaraderie.
Aside from the ample training, you'll also have plenty of downtime, to unplug, refresh and enjoy the retreat center on your own.
When You're Not Training...
Some of the activities you can explore on your own include: Fishing, canoeing, rock climbing, disk golf course, shuffle board, tennis courts, swimming in the river or the in ground pool, nature walks, hot tubbing or simply sitting around the fire pit or on the deck, journaling and/or reading a good book!
Pretty much everything is included in your tuition, all you have to really do is show up and engage!
By the end of the course, you will have more confidence in dealing with all levels of conflict and violence. You will know what to do when nice doesn't work and most of all, you will have begun developing the framework to enjoy a Safer, Healthier, Happier, more Confident Life.
You will learn in weeks what typically takes years (even decades) of training. I will personally take you step by step through the entire PeaceWalker Level I Basic Training Program. This is a User / Mentor Certification Course.
This program will be an experience like no other! It's a full-on Personal Transformation Course that can change your life, maybe even save it!
The Experience Consists of:
3+ Day Live In-Person All Inclusive Retreat
5 Week On-Line Coaching Prep-Course

IN-PERSON RETREAT INFO:
During the In-Person Retreat we will quickly review all of the material covered in the on-line prep course, then we get right into the exciting part!
This is where I'll personally show you how to blend this perspective and your new skills into YOUR life! We also start to help you to integrate all of the concepts together with the physical defensive tactics. I'll teach you how this approach all works together. You'll lean a seamless cohesive system that goes beyond conflict management and personal defense, you will see benefits of leading a PeaceWalker Lifestyle!
You'll learn conflict communication and leadership skills, and a full blown physical self defense approach that is simple and easy. It only take hours, not years to learn. You will develop practical, effective moves that you don't need to be a Navy SEAL or young, strong hard charger to get to work effectively when you need them most. This is the same system I have taught countless military, law enforcement and security personnel through the years.
CLASSROOMS?!
Although we have access to a beautiful 1500 sq foot training facility in the main lodge... To be honest, there's not going to be too much sitting around in a classroom! That's not really our style. My guess is it's not yours either. We'll be in and out (depending on the weather). Most all of the learning is done though fun and exciting games, exercises and adventures performed in and outside of the lodge!
LODGE RETREAT CENTER:
Staying in the great outdoors doesn’t mean roughing it. You’ll be staying in a posh lodge with other fellow PeaceWalkers. You can either sleep in the bugi-bunkhouse or (for a little extra) you can get your own private or semi-private room.
GRUB... YOU KNOW FOOD:
A full-time chef will pamper you with the freshest ingredients and gourmet meals, serving up an awesome variety of items for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We'll do some bbq cookouts as well!
THE BEST THING?!
The best thing is — it’s all inclusive, all included. All of your training, lodging, food and adventures. All you really have to do is get there.
WHEN DOES ALL OF THIS START!?
