Collaborative retreats at True Path are co-led by the guest practitioner and our licensed naturopathic physician, ensuring both clinical integrity and alignment with the True Path integration model.
This co-leadership structure allows practitioners to offer their work within a medically supported environment—without blurring scopes, overclaiming, or compromising safety.
The Co-Leadership Model
True Path collaborative retreats are intentionally designed as shared leadership experiences.
Guest practitioners lead the experiential, educational, or therapeutic content of the retreat.
Our naturopathic physician provides medical co-leadership, clinical guidance, and integrative framing.
Roles are clearly defined from the outset, creating confidence for participants and practitioners alike.
This model supports depth of experience while maintaining ethical clarity and professional alignment.
Clinical Oversight & Safety
Clinical oversight is not an afterthought—it is woven into the retreat design.
Medical co-leadership includes:
Participant screening and readiness review
Scope-of-practice clarity for all modalities offered
On-site or on-call medical support as appropriate
Coordination with outside providers when needed
Support for integration and post-retreat continuity
This ensures that collaborative retreats remain safe, responsible, and grounded, even when the work goes deep.
Standards for Collaboration
True Path partners with practitioners who value integrity, humility, and collaboration.
All collaborative retreats must:
Align with the True Path integrative and trauma-informed philosophy
Respect clearly defined scopes of practice
Operate within ethical, legal, and professional boundaries
Prioritize participant safety, consent, and nervous system awareness
Embrace collaboration rather than hierarchy
We are selective by design—quality matters.

Features may include:
Quiet, nature-rich surroundings near Sedona

Hosted Partnership Retreats FAQ
What does “co-led” mean in practice?
Co-led means shared leadership with clearly defined roles. Guest practitioners lead the experiential and educational aspects of the retreat, while the licensed naturopathic physician provides medical co-leadership, clinical guidance, and integrative framing. This ensures both depth of experience and clinical integrity—without role confusion.
Does the naturopathic physician lead my modality or content?
No. You remain the lead for your modality, teaching, or experiential work. The physician’s role is not to direct your content, but to support safety, scope clarity, and integration within the overall retreat framework.
Am I allowed to offer my full body of work?
Yes—within clearly defined scope and ethical boundaries. During the planning phase, we collaboratively review your offerings to ensure alignment with professional standards, trauma-informed practices, and medical oversight requirements. This protects both you and participants.
Is medical treatment provided during collaborative retreats?
Collaborative retreats are not medical treatment programs. Medical co-leadership provides oversight, screening, and on-site or on-call support as appropriate, but does not replace primary medical care or create a treatment relationship unless explicitly defined.
What types of practitioners are a good fit for collaboration?
We partner with experienced practitioners who:
Have a mature relationship with their modality
Value collaboration and humility over hierarchy
Understand scope of practice and ethical responsibility
Are trauma-informed and consent-oriented
Welcome medical oversight as a support, not a threat
This is not a fit for “guru-style” leadership or uncontained intensity.
How are participant safety and readiness handled?
Participant screening and readiness review are part of the retreat design process. This may include health questionnaires, intake conversations, and scope-based exclusions when appropriate. Safety is proactive, not reactive.
What happens if a participant needs medical or psychological support during the retreat?
Medical co-leadership allows for calm, appropriate response and coordination with outside providers when needed. This ensures that issues are handled responsibly—without derailing the retreat container or placing practitioners in inappropriate roles.
Do I need to carry my own insurance?
Yes. Guest practitioners are expected to maintain their own professional liability insurance appropriate to their scope of practice. True Path provides facility coverage and medical oversight but does not replace individual practitioner responsibility.
Can I co-market or bring my own audience?
Yes. Collaborative retreats are often co-marketed, with clear agreements around branding, messaging, and scope language. We work together to ensure marketing reflects the co-led structure accurately and ethically.
How involved is True Path in retreat logistics?
True Path provides comprehensive logistical support for hosted retreats, including the facility, accommodations, professional kitchen and chef-prepared meals, medical oversight, and overall retreat structure. Guest practitioners are able to focus fully on their content and the participant experience, with all details clarified collaboratively during the planning process to ensure a smooth, well-supported retreat..
How do I start the collaboration process?
The first step is a conversation—not a contract.
We begin with an exploratory call to discuss your vision, modality, experience, and alignment with the True Path model. From there, we determine fit and outline next steps collaboratively.
Why choose a co-led model instead of renting a venue?
Because co-led retreats offer something rare:
Clinical integrity without rigidity
Depth without risk escalation
Freedom without isolation
Support without hierarchy
This model protects the work, the practitioner, and the participants—especially when the healing goes deep.
If you’re a retreat leader interested in hosting a retreat within a medically grounded, well-supported environment, we invite you to begin a conversation.
