The Intentional Reset Retreat
Avira Reserve, Nampa, Idaho
Michelle Choate MA CTC CEC, Facilitator: Change the Word from Recovery to Wellness
A full-day retreat bringing together expert guidance, recovery experiences, and meaningful reflection across four areas of life: body, self, life, and direction. Michelle leads the self-leadership and emotional intelligence track alongside an integrative physician and wellness coach. Limited to 30 guests.
ELATE was created for people who want to move through the world with more clarity, compassion, and emotional presence. Through immersive retreats, guided experiences, and intentional learning, we create environments where growth feels possible, healing feels supported, and transformation feels real.
At ELATE, change does not happen through intensity. It happens through gentleness, connection, and the courage to look inward with honesty and grace.
